Sorry, I have reading comprehension issues again...

I'm talking about nothing other than salary cap issues here...

Interesting to note: He may well be a cap casualty for Detroit, if they're trying to make something else happen or call somebody up. Wow is that team screwed until (possibly) next year. Franzen's LTIR is the only thing keeping them compliant...

Wilson would need to clear waivers to make it to Rochester. I'm guessing he's meant for the big club if a draft pick was spent on him.

Makes league minimum, RFA next year...

Now that is stone cold right there from KO...

I'd do that in half a second. Which means it's not happening. Then again, this is Chiarelli we're talking about...

I do feel bad for Matt, sort of. There were rumblings of his showing up to training camp out of shape a couple years ago (damn ice cream fridge), but other than that he's struck me as a good pro who got what turned out to be a bad deal, which nobody saw coming when he signed it. At least to this extent.

Dreger just tweeted that JBOTs is taking calls on Lehner and Johnson... Ullmark could very well get his chance here shortly.

The cap relief is $950k. League Minimum plus $375k. As far as I'm aware there are no implications if he retires, cap recapture only applies to 35+ contracts.

It is quite possible to have empathy for the human being while intensely disliking his questionable takes.

I'm going to avoid the Sabres like the plague this weekend, and will be spending it (my first weekend without work or child in about six months) doing something. I don't know what yet, I'm being surprised. Have been told I'll enjoy it and I had best be ready by 6:00. This has the potential to be fantastic...

They announced last night that Nashville, Detroit, Sacramento and Cincinnati are the four finalists for the next two expansion spots. Yeesh.

2 empty net goals standing by...

ESPN ran a story today about this season’s goal scoring explosion. I laughed until I cried, turning into uncontrollable sobbing. As terrible as the goaltending and defense are, that this group can’t hit a bulls ass with a bass fiddle offensively is agonizing.

I’ve been to the Aud, KBC. Bell Centre (Montreal), Whatever they call it in Columbus, and MSG. MSG was an absolute Aud-level dump when last i was there. It’s been redone since then. Both Colombus and Montreal blow KBC away in terms of amenities and atmosphere. A Saturday night game in Montreal is a surreal experience. I suggest doing it at least once to everyone.

Probably neither. Griffith is terrible and Bogo is about to be activated.

Griffith on waivers. About time.

With the best will in the world... no.

To be clear, this all happens in Wookie's head.

In as much as Hull wasn't. This one, oddly enough, has me more pissed off than that one. The league should pretty much just come out and admit they're officiated slightly less stringently than pro wrestling so I can stop caring about it.

Samson's not in the paint at any point... still no goal. the NHL.

Goalie pulled down three with five plus minutes left. Take that, PA.
