Has any player ever been given a retroactive NTC/NMC when they sign an extension? The ink is dry on old contract and it’s been signed by all parties and rubber stamped by the league. I don’t think it was even something that would have been negotiable.
No, it's legal and is done fairly often.

I believe this happened in the case of Brandon Sutter, for example.

You’re suggesting that Boudreau was undermined intentionally by withholding the d rebuild ? I kind of admire that, if that’s what they were thinking. Take advantage of the lame duck season to stealth rebuild? Cruel to BB yes, but winning covers all sins. Perhaps they saw that the chance to get Kuzmenko would give the 2024 team more juice than shopping a tepid defenceman FA market. Trade to build the d from the leftovers.
And I think they know this.

Allvin repeatedly justified decisions, and downplayed the ire of the fans over this situation, by reminding everyone that there is a banner missing from Rogers arena and that that’s what fans want and what management is aiming for.

Bo first, then Miller, Garland and Boeser in no particular order. Realistically, the number of assets returning and potential cap space opening up could be enough for a clean slate with realistic playoff aspirations next year.

Miller is the real wild card tho.
Curious why you would prefer both shipped out. I get the cap reasons for one or the other, and my perspective lets me easily see why one would want Miller gone over Horvat. But both?

Ah. Ok then. If it was done before with a guy like Sutter, and the same team (albeit different management group) didn’t do the same with a superior player like Miller, thank maybe they did intentionally leave themselves an out.

Yeah, I've been wondering about that.

I am not used to all of us getting along and discussing things in a non confrontational manner even if we have different opinions.

I’m simply going on the assumption Bo has made up his mind and/or JR won’t budge on his final offer. If Bo is indeed dealt, I would prefer to see Miller moved as well.

''Whether it's Benning or Rutherford/Allvin almost doesn't matter' :D


That was a difficult listen. Is that what Sports radio is like?

45 minutes of the semantics of the meaning of a a quick fix/not a quick fix.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
