Who went into court and actually argued this from a true, legal position? There isn't a farm out there (Perdue, Smithfield, Tyson, Sanderson) who has ever claimed boneless wings are actually wings. Matter of fact, most all of them have openly admitted boneless wings are, in fact, oversized nuggets made from white and dark meat from breasts, thighs and other leftover parts.

Rumor mill today has the Canes possibly offering $6M AAV to Necas before arbitration.

Martin Necas's arbitration hearing is scheduled for August 4, the last day of the arbitration window.

Only way I see that happening is the Canes buying out his KHL contract. And I think the league has to approve that and it comes out of the team's cap space. I could be totally wrong, but I think that's how it works.

From l to r: Kochetkov, Svech, Nike and Orlov.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/jack-drury-hurricanes-avoid-arbitration-with-two-year-deal/ If the Canes had any real belief he was going to be anything better than a third or 4th line guy, he would have gotten a minimum 4-5 years. This is basically a "Show us what you got, because right now, we're not feeling it," deal. He took this deal instead of arbitration, which also says a lot. I'd bet money he wanted twice what his AAV is now, like $3.5M AAV.

Wish you'd post links. This has TDL move all over it. Not a deal that says, "Hey, this kid is gonna be special."

He was placed on unconditional waivers by the team for the purpose of terminating his contract, which I detailed at length in the Necas thread earlier today. A mutual parting of ways. But, yeah, okay Nostradomus.

The Canes have to agree to terminate his contract. The player cannot unilaterally "cancel" his own contract. A mutual parting of ways. If the NHLPA does not file a grievance, which would be unlikely in this case, the Canes gain whatever cap space his salary creates. Contract terminations are fairly rare, although there have been some in recent years where teams have been the initiating party and there were mitigating circumstances with the player (Corey Perry, Evander Kane). Both of these resulted in NHLPA grievances and were player conduct related.

Show me a link he's gone. I'll just wait for the Canes to announce it.

It appears the demise of Evgeny Kuznetsov and his departure from the NHL may be a little premature: https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/nhl/news-evgeny-kuznetsov-s-agent-clears-air-forward-s-rumored-nhl-departure "Everything is possible in this life, but it is too early to talk about Evgeny Kuznetsov's return to Russia," Babayev said. "It is not even clear why this information arose, because he has a contract with Carolina for another year. But there was an appeal from SKA. They called and said that if Evgeny were to return, they were ready to talk. But the appeal was not only from SKA, but also from other teams. https://www.si.com/onsi/breakaway/news-feed-page/posts/agent-shuts-down-rumors-carolina-hurricanes-evgeni-kuznetsov It didn’t take long for reports that Carolina Hurricanes forward Evgeny Kuznetsov was leaving the NHL for the KHL to take a turn. Championat.com first reported that Kuznetsov was signing a four-year deal with SKA St. Petersburg despite still being under contract with the Hurricanes for another year. Kuznetsov’s agent agent made a statement regarding the situation. In tweets from Hockey News Hub, Shumi Babaev spoke with Championat correspondent Vladislav Kruglov. Babaev stated that it’s too early to talk about Kuznetsov possibly returning to Russia. “It’s not even clear why this news arose because he has a contract in Carolina for another year,” Babaev said. “But there was an appeal from SKA.” It seems like at the moment, Kuznetsov is staying with the Hurricanes, but SKA has approached the player with an offer. Babaev also says SKA wasn’t the only team to be in touch. “They called and said if Evgeny were to return to, they were ready to talk,” Babaev said. “The appeal was not only from SKA, but also from other teams.” Babaev noted that Kuznetsov is primarily focused on working and playing in the NHL. A KHL return may come eventually, but nothing can be made certain at the moment. With a contract in place through the 2024-25 season, it seems unlikely that Kuznetsov will leave for Russia. Before being drafted by the Washington Capitals in 2010, Kuznetsov played five seasons with Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. Kuznetsov is a native of Chelyabinsk and scored 167 points in 251 games. Over his 743-game NHL career, Kuznetsov has scored 173 goals and 402 assists for 575 total points. He was a huge part of the Capitals team that won the franchise’s first Stanley Cup in 2018. He led the postseason with 32 points in 24 games that year.

Puckpedia says we're sitting at $11.68M right now. But that's not showing the Kuznetsov loss yet, because, apparently, the Canes have not yet terminated his contract or it hasn't been signed off on at the league level.

Hoping for the best with him. He's been through some tough times and I hope he finds himself in a place he wants to be, and around people who want to be with him. We were only fortunate enough to see just a glimpse of what he's capable of as a hockey player. The emotion and fire he brings to the ice is a likely contributor to his issues, but here's to his health and well-being.

You obviously did not see the Brady Roast on Netflix

Arbitration dates run from July 20 - Aug 4. Arbitration can be avoided by either a deal being struck with the team owning his rights or a trade.

TDA remains unsigned as of yesterday. It was reported in May he was going to require hand surgery in the off-season. Not sure if that's done, but he is not under contract with anyone. With only 6 blue-liners under contract and 21 of 23 slots filled on the active roster, he may be back on a 1-year deal. Unless Morrow cracks the lineup. He has a 2-way and would save some cap space. Not much, but some.

To be honest, the only person to make any inference that he didn't want to be here was his dad. Martin has never said he didn't want to be here, nor has he mentioned anywhere else he wanted to play. If his arbitration award is a 1-year deal, I expect Carolina will trade him at the TDL, depending on the season results. If he gets a 2-year deal, he may end up staying for a bit. I, for one, don't have a problem giving him a shot playing 2C with Kuz on the wing. Keep Jarvy on the Aho line. I think Kuznetsov is a bigger scoring threat on the wing.

The key word being "had," as in, past tense. In other words a trade & sign deal, if you will, wasn't going to happen and, therefore, was not beneficial to Columbus, Buffalo or Winnipeg.

https://thehockeynews.com/international/latest-news/martin-necas-im-ready-for-anything A restricted free agent, Martin Nečas has been the focus of trade rumors the entire off-season, and now he has elected for salary arbitration. When he was in Prague a couple of weeks ago for the Golden Hockey Stick (Zlatá hokejka) awards, Czech journalists asked him about the situation. He shed some light, or as much as he could, on what some of his issues were with the Carolina Hurricanes and how negotiations were going. “We talk about it every day, we are in contact with them,” he said back on May 24. “I hope it goes well for both me and the club. Either we continue together and it will be the best. Or I go somewhere else, but in that case, I hope we don’t part on bad terms, but in a good way.” One of the interesting things that Nečas revealed about negotiations is that, in addition to his agent speaking to Carolina management, he has been throughout this process in regular contact with owner Tom Dundon. “It’s like that with us – I don’t think many NHL teams have this – that we talk directly to the owner. The owner calls me,” he said. “But, of course, contracts are handled by the agent.” One of the sticking points in Carolina seems to be Nečas’ desire to have a larger role on the team, but this past season saw his ice time and usage in key situations, such as on the power play, reduced. “Yeah, it’s not ideal,” he responded when it was brought up. “There are coaches who set those things up, and they decide which players to use. I was not among the key players. I would like to improve that in the future, both from my point of view and overall. I know that in these situations I feel the best on the ice and I would like to play in them, but I have to earn it and I hope that happens.” Asked about the possibility of a trade, he answered, “I’m ready for anything. Carolina has my rights and I don’t know what will happen. They know my position, so we’ll see. I'd like to say more, but I can’t. Maybe we’ll find out in a few days or weeks.” The days and weeks since have revealed that not much has changed. Apparently, he was very close to being traded to Columbus during the draft in Las Vegas, but that fell through because Nečas refused to sign an extension there. That would seemingly indicate that, at the very least, he doesn’t see remaining in Carolina as the worst possible outcome.

No, Guentzel and his agent knew Carolina was just a layover on his journey to a team who will get to the playoffs consistently. His contract is very similar, but he's really making a couple mil more with no taxes in Florida. Just go out and beat Tampa next season. Each of the 3 times they play.

He may be Jordo's replacement answer, for the time being. I honestly thought Staal would retire after the season.

Roslovic played center more with the Rangers after they got him and he played better there than on the wing in Columbus. He also had a pretty decent post-season with the Rags. 8 pts in 19 regular season and 8 pts in 16 post-season games. Given he had only 39 pts the whole season... But yeah, he's an expensive 4th line guy.

This does not bode well for Necas or Drury, I'm afraid. Roslovic was making $4M AAV in Columbus and NY the last 2 years. Canes gotta unload someone to sign Jarvy, and I don't even know what Roslovic is getting from the Canes.

And, with your proposed lines, Drury needs to have a true breakout year, KK needs to live up to his salary and the team will need a way to win 1-goal games.

Tough losing some of the guys, but letting Nosen walk on a 3 year deal at $2.75 AAV is almost unforgiveable. It amounts to not giving him a raise from $850k or so to $2.75M; let's just call it $1.9M. Really?
