It's no secret Nashville should have won that game in OT about 3 times. Definitely not the best show on ice last night. The Canes showed up twice last night, and that was for both scores. Everything else was pretty unnerving. Hell, they couldn't even clear the zone a few times in the 3rd for what seemed like 2-3 minutes.

Did I think Staal could break away like that? No.

Did I think Staal was going to shoot? No.

Did I think Staal could get a shot off with 2 sticks behind him? No.

There was nothing about that play I thought could or would end the game. How he separated and got a clean shot off is beyond me.

Tripp said it right after the game.  Jordo is skating like a teenager with the wisdom of a 15 year vet.

IDK what happened but, Staal is playing faster and more confident than I've ever seem him.

Tampa and florida are making this one hell of a division race

Its gonna come down to the last game of the season. 

NHL might see it's best ratings ever this year. Compact, shortened season with 2-3 game divisional series makes for tight races and intense hockey games.

Rivalries grow, bad blood simmers and every game counts. I love covid hockey!

There was a fair amount of luck with the Predator wiffing on the puck and him being in the purpose place to take it from behind him unopposed. Once he started skating away I thought maybe he could do something. Glad he just took the shot even with Necas waiting in the wings. Last night was not our best passing or puck handling night.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
