  None have No Movement Clauses, so any of them can be waived and demoted to Hamilton or loaned to another AHL team or Europe. Washington sent Nylander to another AHL team than their farm team because they didn't want him a round their prospects as they feared he might use the chance to "take revenge" on the team.

  Actually if you are one of the top 600 people in a highly skilled profession with a limited talent pool you can play companies off each other and do quite nicely; wish I knew that from personal experience.

  2007 - Could have drafted Eller and not had McDonaugh to trade for Gomez (ahhhhh)

  As both are playing in Canada (Sarnia and Quebec respectively) it should be a little easier to get a read on them.

  Agreed, no team has fans that agree on everything. Some will always like and some dislike ANY move.
• Comment on Gorges signs six-year contract
  I've suggested the same type of thing at times. Not hard in concept. Sign players to "take home salaries" and have the actual total salary be a variable figure based on some NHL standard formula for each city. So when a player is traded his "total" salary gets adjusted up or down to provide the specified "take home" pay. It still requires a team like Montreal to spend more money but at least the extra taxes doesn't impact the cap. The difficult variable is that taxes vary not only by where the players plays but where he resides, which is not always the same, and where he resides for tax purposes based on state/provincial and country TAX residency requirements.
