Thread: Just saw a canes fan give us Freddie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ljf</b></div><div>What do you think it would cost for the Devils to get Colton? I like him for the speed and physicality, and feel he would fit in perfectly with the Devs, but I am still trying to find a good trade package for him. I believe Hattaka should be apart of the deal, as he can provide solid two-way play and be a possible cheap Jack Johnson replacement on the bottom pairing.</div></div>

Honestly I would think the 4th would need to be upgraded to a 3rd. Or give us a 1st and a lower pick (4th rounders down). I'd imagine we would use one of the higher picks you send to find a Colton replacement.

As for Hattaka I don't think his numbers are that impressive and knowing the Avs system he would probably just get stuck playing for the Eagles. I would maybe instead consider sending Kevin Bahl, mostly because he has much more experience. If we got Bahl, a trade proposal I would have would be Colton for a 2nd, a 4th, and Bahl.

So yeah I would accept your original trade if you swap Bahl for Hattaka lol

Thread: Val buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>If I'm the Avs front office I'm getting a s**t hot lawyer on that one as Arizona already set precedent for it (assuming the front office decide they've had enough of Nuke's shenanigans of course). They may not be able to do it until he's out of the program but the CBA states pretty explicitly that a contract can be terminated under such circumstances and the 'yotes ditched Ruzicka for less. NHL teams can terminate the contract of players who they believe violated the terms of their deals, including failing or neglecting to obey club rules "governing training and conduct of players."

Exhibit 1 of the CBA is the SPC.
See part 2:

2. The Player agrees to give his services and to play hockey in all NHL Games, All Star
Games, International Hockey Games and Exhibition Games to the best of his ability under the
direction and control of the Club in accordance with the provisions hereof.
The Player further agrees,
(a) to report to his Club's Training Camp at the time and place fixed by the Club, in
good physical condition,
<strong>(b) to keep himself in good physical condition at all times during the season,</strong>
<strong>(c) to give his best services to the Club and to play hockey only for the Club unless
his SPC is Assigned, Loaned or terminated by the Club,</strong>
(d) to co-operate with the Club and participate in any and all reasonable promotional
activities of the Club which will in the opinion of the Club promote the welfare of the Club and
to cooperate in the promotion of the League and professional hockey generally,
<strong>(e) to conduct himself on and off the rink according to the highest standards of
honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship, and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the
best interest of the Club, the League or professional hockey generally.</strong>

....and part 14:

<strong>14. The Club may also terminate this SPC upon written notice to the Player (but only after
obtaining Waivers from all other Clubs) if the Player shall at any time:
(a) fail, refuse, or neglect to obey the Club's rules governing training and conduct of
Players, if such failure, refusal or neglect should constitute a material breach of this SPC.</strong></div></div>

Wow look at you doing your research! Good stuff!
