I still chuckle at old Chuck Fletcher trading away a second a third and a fourth round pick for TDA…and the Canes taking him back for pennies on the dollar! Shrewd bit of business even if you are not a fan of TDA!
It's called identity politics.He was good on the powerplay. But not much else. I also still don't get the outright political hatred this guy drags around. I've seen him called a homophobe amd a racist in the last 5 minutes. What did I miss?

Maybe so. But it's immature, irrational, and stinks of ignorance to label someone such ridiculous things because he voted for a different candidate than you or doesn't approve of a particular office holder. Makes me sick.It's called identity politics.
So the locker room fight with Georgiev in New York didn’t happen? And it wasn’t the first time he had an altercation with a teammate. It’s why the Rangers kicked him to the curb the day after getting into it with Georgiev. Did he behave himself here? Yes, because it was his last chance. But let’s not pretend he’s a choirboy.Maybe so.

This shouldn't be a complicated deal. Did someone just explain to Breire at the last second that they only have 3 retention spots or that they are not obligated to retain the full 50%, that is just the max? I mean it can't be over which low round prospect we are sending, we have a huge pile of them.
And apparently he got trade protection on the first three seasons. Frankly, that bit plus the buyout protection on the 4th year tips me into the "this was too much" camp. I 100% understand the value of Jordan Staal to this organization. I'm absolutely thrilled to have him for this first two years, and while I'd rather see that first number be a 2, I see what everybody's doing. The last two years? Screw that noise. He'll be 36-37 by then and HIGHLY unlikely to be even close to the player he is right now. Maybe he promised them he'd retire rather than fall off the planet and be a burden, but I don't think many if any players ever really get that judgement call right. Jordan pushed this and the Canes blinked. Period.Here is the breakdown on Staal’s contract:
Year 1 - $3.45 million salary
Year 2 - $3.41 million salary
Year 3 - $2.65 million salary
Year 4 - $1.315 million signing bonus, $775k salary
Reacquire as part of a Retained Salary Transaction the SPC
of a Player who was on that Club's Reserve List within the
past calendar year;
Illustration: If Club A Trades the SPC of a Player to Club
B (the "Initial Trade"), Club B cannot subsequently Trade
an SPC of such Player back to Club A within one (1)
calendar year from the date of the Initial Trade and retain a
portion of the Averaged Amount of that SPC pursuant to a
Retained Salary Transaction. However, Club B may Trade
an SPC of the Player back to Club A within one (1)
calendar year from the date of the Initial Trade if Club B
does not retain any portion of such Player's SPC.
And this is exactly why we keep you on staff.Here is where the TDA trade "issue" is I think, it's in the CBA's massive 50.5 section.
Teams cannot:
Basically the TDA trade cannot happen until 1 year has passed since the trade to the Flyers happened if I'm understanding that correctly. July 8th 2022 was the date of the trade to the Flyers.
Was Paulie Walnuts traded away for future considerations?And this is exactly why we keep you on staff.
