Triumph Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yakupov in Colorado is a fine gamble for them. The Devils already have their own Yakupov in Miles Wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 We have enough drafted young talent on our team that we shouldn't need to fill a spot with Yak anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His time with Colorado could very well be make or break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's not us, but who knows, maybe he figures his stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The other day, Chicago traded Kruger to VGK and today Vegas flipped him to Carolina for just a 5th rounder in next year's draft. Carolina's collecting all Chicago's spare parts, eh? Teravainen, Darling, Dahlbeck, TVR & now Kruger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few people had interest in Nesterov but he's headed to Russia: Dan Milstein-Hockey Verified account @HockeyAgent1 Nikita Nesterov has decided to continue his hockey career back home. Will sign with one of the clubs in the KHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically that might be enough to at least trigger an investigation, but my reading of the CBA (from memory anyway) indicates that it would have to reveal something like an under the table payment to Klein or close family member, friend, etc. for there to be any cap circumvention penalty. There's nothing wrong with retiring from the NHL to play in another league so your cap hit goes away, subject to recapture penalties having a over-35 deal, and the like. Still, I would put it at 99.9999 percent that there's no investigation. The Rangers don't need the extra cap space they're getting to do anything they need to do for this year. I imagine an investigation like that is very intrusive, and would only be triggered if there's some showing of probable cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year only however, unless he's willing to get traded if we're not playoff bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are pieces that can help for 17-18, and are moveable assets at the deadline if we fall out of it again.

Problem with Markov is that he wants a two year deal, which makes trading him this year a little tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Soooo.....has anyone given much thought to PTOs? I have one for a James Wisniewski here and I would put money on Shero giving a hard PTO look at Simon Depres. Haven't followed either, but I know that both have been cycled through the Ducks d-corps. Both have had injury issues too apparently. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, how was Anaheim able to buy him out if he was on LTIR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
