bottlecap Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It's not looking good for the big guy. From the game last night, it looked like he should have done a Ray Bourque and retire on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 "The Tampa Bay Lightning placed Dave Andreychuk on waivers today at 12 p.m. In order to comply with the new collective bargaining agreement, Andreychuk, should he clear waivers, will be assigned to the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League, although the organization will not require him to report. This allows the Lightning to continue pay Andreychuk his 2005 -06 salary. He is also contracted to Tampa Bay for 2006-07." http://www.tampabaylightning.com/tbl/prdet...sreleaseID=1236 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 My guess is that he will "retire" after this season saving the team 1/3-2/3 of his next season's salary. Net it would be close to a wash (or TB comes out slightly ahead vs. cutting him) and both sides manage to look "good". Andreychuk "retires" "on his own terms" or something to that effect and TB saves some money and frees up a roster space for someone that can skate without "cutting" the team captain.

Guest Guest_zed Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I guess most of these posters might be too young to know who Andreychuk is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about his recreational habits, B-) but good ol' Andreyslug never could skate. Of course, that didn't keep Toronto from using him to kill penalties. Seeing as how the Sabres didn't make the playoffs in '04, I was glad to see him win the Cup; but the game definitely appears to have passed him by.

Baseball cancels the WS so the silly trophy with all the pennants on it stays in Canada an extra year. The NHL cancels the season so the greatest trophy in team sports does its snowbird imitation and hangs out in Florida for an extra winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that Tampa Bay will win it again this year so that the Cup spends 3 years in Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
