Shame on K-chuk if he goes to the KHL. I can't begrudge anyone's desire for money, but I'll bet he would regret the decision not to play in the best league in the world. He could probably scrape by on another $80-$100mm in future earnings.

Devils have submitted a new contract. NHL has up to five days to decide on it. It took them less than 24 hours to nix the first deal.
Rumor is that the new deal is 15 years, $100 million good for a cap hit of... $6.66 million per year. Obvious joke is obvious. The cap hit on the nixed deal was for $6 million a year. All of this mayhem and nonsense over $666,666 a year on the cap seems pretty ridiculous.

Nikolai Khabibulin: Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Instead, spend at the minimum 30 days in jail for extreme DUI and speeding. Oh, by the way, Sheriff Joe Arapio might want you to stay in Tent City to learn your lesson. Your pink prison outfit awaits in your tent.

I didn't even know he was in legal trouble. Pathetic way to likely bookend a pretty solid career.

Sorry to bust your balls by linking to the competition GLM
, but CBS Sports is reporting that Paul Kariya will miss all of next season with PCS.
So, I guess the rumors of a reunion with Selanne can be put to rest.

You linked to CBS? Jeez man. If they were competition I'd be worried.
What's interesting is that he's not retiring, just not playing this year.

Well played
(note, I got that link via a LetsGoWings.com post)
Kariya is only 35 (I actually thought he was a few years older). Though once a player hits his mid-30s, I would think missing an entire year is a bigger issue. Especially if a concussion is involved.

Re: 2010 NHL Off-Season: Sather is a dink
Wilson has failed so badly at upgrading the defense that there is actual cap space which could have resigned Nabokov. This team is going to suck.
As was pointed out and shown in one of the Sharks blogs: "only Chris Pronger, Zdeno Chara, and Marc Staal faced a higher quality of competition last season while giving up less goals against at even strength."
I'd take that for 3.5M. Especially to have him paired with either Doughty or Johnson. Both those players can push even harder offensively playing with him.
Mostly I'm just peaved that he's playing in LA instead of San Jose, where Wallin and Huskins make more than that combined.

Re: 2010 NHL Off-Season: Sather is a dink
Agreed. It's a wonder he's still alive, let alone even thinking about playing.

Not resigning him was still the right decision. Not signing any defensemen so far has been the complete opposite of right.
At least we didn't bring Kyle McLaren back!

I didn't really want him resigned, but the fact that the money is there and the name "Niclas Wallin" is currently ensconced in every mock Shark top 4 makes me wish we farking had Nabokov instead.
Waiting until the trade deadline is asking for a 50/50 on being well out of a playoff spot.

Re: 2010 NHL Off-Season: Sather is a dink
The big part of it isn't necessarily the cap hit, but the fact that the Devils could have bought him out after age 37 at virtually no penalty at all. So they got the advantage of the low cap hit with the low risk at the end of the deal.

Re: 2010 NHL Off-Season: Sather is a dink
That's still not going to be a big deal at the end though, at least for buy out purposes. It's changing it from virtually nothing to just barely nothing. Instead of six years at league minimum, it could be (for example) four years at a million a year. So the Devils, provided the CBA still applies this way, would be paying him two-thirds of $4 million over the course of eight years. Chump change.

Maybe the conversation went something like this:
Gary the Commish: $100mm over 15 years versus $102mm over 17 years. Lou, are you just stupid?
Lou: Stupid is as stupid does, Gary.
Martin le goalie: Guys, I'm not getting any younger here.
K-chuk: Do these hockey pants make me look like Ovechkin?
Blah, blah, blah.

Depends on if their NMC magically turns into a NTC right as the money drops out and all the other poison pills that didn't say "CAP CIRCUMVENTION" in giant letters.
