dave-O Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 There's some pretty awesome scrapping going on in this thread. Good work lads. I can't believe we have to wait until Sunday night for more fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Et tu' date=' Brute?[/quote']Ok, that made me laugh. I'll forgive your latest classic-look-at-me-post "Go Switzerland". For now.Yeah that made me laugh as well.I hate Gretzky (unless he was playing for Canada) and loved Lemieux. I just liked to argue with people who was better I was the opposite. Loved Gretz. There's been cases where I've looked back and had a little regret for the hate, Lemieux would be an example, maybe I should have enjoyed his chase of the scoring record more, but only because we might not see such lofty totals again. There's some I'll never regret....Elway, Emmitt Smith, Heatley, Eli Manning, Brett Hull, Roenick....so many, so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm with Sloth. There are certain personalities that I am just wired to project blinding hate towards for no discernible and articulated reason other than I hate their ugly face regardless of talent. Others earn my rudderless wrath by doing something that pisses me off to no end: i.e. Eric Lindros- douchebag refuses to play for Nordiques, Dany Heatley- douchenozzle asks for trade THEN refuses to go to Edmonton handcuffing Bryan Murray (for the record I still think Bryan Murray should have had the balls to suspend that prick, Yashin style), and finally Sidney Crosby. I'll speak in a language he understands: wahhhhhh! No fair! Wahhhh! I don't wanna!!! Wahhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Heatley. [/quote']I just think it sets a dangerous precedent.The NTC should have been waived the second the player asks for a trade while under a valid contract. I'm sure this will be addressed in the next round of collective bargaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 It was BM's fault for giving him a no-trade. Case closed.Saying the case is closed doesn't make the case closed, there's quite a few angles on this issue and the Heatley thing may lead to a change in how signing bonuses are treated. It's similar to issues that involve of the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law, shit like this happens all time in various aspects of life, sometimes the law gets changed so the letter fits the spirit, sometimes it doesn't.

Tissue Man Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Dany Heatley- douchenozzle asks for trade THEN refuses to go to Edmonton handcuffing Bryan Murray.that is exactly why you get a NTC so you dont end up in atlanta after signing a deal like Hossa.. shitty things happen both ways. accept the trade to edmonton or wait for murray to deal with san jose.. hmm tough one. ottawa >>> :surprise: <<< Heater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case closed as far as what Heatley could do at that moment in time, and I have no doubt this 'loophole' is going to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 The NTC is in place because the player wants to anchor his career to a particular location, usually in order to provide a stable environment for his family. Once a player decides that he wants to be moved, doesn't that make the whole fucking NTC clause moot?It's a called a "No Trade Clause" alluding that the team cannot trade the player. It's not called "I Call The Shots Clause" is it?I blame this whole fucking incident on the lack of a scrotum by the NHL, Melnyk, and Bryan Murray.

The mere fact that you accurately used a banana fucking another banana as a visual aid to describe the scenario is proof enough that Heately is douche (for me at least).

Booche Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 The trade worked out for both sides methinks. The only thing you have done is showed the lack of quality in the East. It's quite apparent that Clouston has turned things around in Ottawa, not that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is called an amendment to a contract where both sides agree on a middle ground, the other is a fucking travesty where the owners are FUCKED by an egotistical COCKHAMMER. :surprise: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue that's pissing off not just Sens fans and that you're missing (I'm assuming on purpose) is the 4 million dollar signing bonus Heatley kept. Players that get traded (whether they want to or not) still get all the bucks agreed to them. When Heatley held them hostage, vetoed a trade pre July 1st, thereby forcing the Sens to pay the 4 million that really was intended to be a bonus for siging and staying in Ottawa, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I really don't understand why you're confused a non Sens fan would think it sucks. I didn't like the Nordiques but I thought what Lindros did was bullshit.

The mere fact that you accurately used a banana fucking another banana as a visual aid to describe the scenario is proof enough that Heately is douche (for me at least).the terms were laid out by murray and agent. there are many different NTCs out there. I'm just on the side of the player on this one, mainly because its pretty funny and its ottawa. yeah it sucks but owners have been screwing players over for sooo long its funny to see. they got heatley by screwing hossa over so what goes around comes around. back to canada? :nhl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
