2010 NHL Off-Season: Sather is a dink

Re: 2010 NHL Off-Season: Sather is a dink

Redden will report to Hartford Wednesday, according to his agent. Hope he isn't thinking he'll get called up to the big team...

No it isn't that confusing of a move. It's a "hey, sorry the former GM *ed our farm club without lube, how about we help you (Rochester) market your AHL club" move. The Panthers are paying to have a known NHL name be the star center in Rochester, without losing any prospects or dealing with Nylander as a liability as a Panther.

He's still Capitals property, the only thing that changes is that he:
- Reports to Rochester, NY instead of Hershey, PA.
- *edit* His direct deposit may not even change.

The Red Wings and Griffins worked out a similar deal last year (moreso the Griffins). Hershey didn't want him, and the Griffins wanted him to help mentor the Wings prospects.


It's also kinda like how Sean Avery was loaned to the Hartford Wolf-Pack. Except don't expect Florida to trade for his NHL rights in a couple months.

The initial Puck Daddy report stated that Florida was on the hook for his salary - which would have been completely idiotic...who would take on someone else's 4M problem and sit him in the minors?

This Pierre LeBrun tweet clarifies it....

so souray, nylander, and reddan all got hidden in the minors to take their salaries off the salary cap books - but the only outrage is over the rangers doing it? seems like a double standard.

Holy $h!t is Taveras next?

How about DP?...he'll be the one that doesnt get injured this season...that franchised is just cursed since the Core of the Four...I'm okay with it though:cool:
Poor management != being cursed.

Huet. Kyle McLaren by San Jose three years ago.

Souray is actually nowhere right now. No minors at this time. Man on an island.
