So apparently because of that CBA loophole Demko becomes a UFA after his last year of college hockey. Unless he chooses to leave school this summer and sign with the Canucks. But why wouldn't he just finish his degree at which point he goes from 1 option to 30.

:(

Can someone explain this loophole and why it applies for some and not others? Same reason Oilers got Schultz and the Wild got Reilly, IIRC.

Edit - I guess it's because the Canucks have 3 years to sign him from the date of the draft, but with college players they don't need to sign in that time frame as they're still in school.... unless they felt waiting would be risky due to injury... But with college students they'd have a career waiting anyhow...

I thought the league closed this loophole up. I guess not.

Did I hear Cox say that Reimer asked for $6M?

Yeah, $6 million. Wow.

Cocks saying Will Ny is coming up after the deadline. I don't even know if it's worth it. Might as well keep him on the Marlies at this point.

If Reimer is worth $6M what's Price worth- the entire salary cap?
I think it was a number that was clearly thought out to force a trade.

There's no way he gets that from any team when he hits the market, which sucks cause I want him to be successful.

I also don't see him taking over the starting reins anywhere as well...he might be stuck being a back up or simply just out of the game if he thinks he's going to get that.

I don't like that trade but the Leafs certainly going to give Reimer that much and there wouldn't be much term on it either so, GG Reimer.

Nope. But now that I (think I) understand it, it makes sense. Though it places more risk on drafting prospects who go to school.

Canucks just need to sign him this summer and send him to Utica for a year. Then the Markstrom-Demko tandem can rule the league in 2017.

Until a controversy inevitably erupts and both are traded for 2018 3rd rd picks.

Someone recap this for me?

I'm watching bball.

From what I gather Nylander is coming up? This is a definite?

Reims asked for $6 million per, Leafs ain't doing that.

Cocks says Will Ny is coming up soon. Prepare your Snizzbone.

Tankaku is always.

First time I'm hearing this, but a guy from Boston (Jimmy Murphy) reportedly got a hold of a text Patches sent to Subban after the recent Therrien - Subban incident telling him to "tone it down" and he's also reporting that that's a pretty large gap between the two in the room.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He sent him a text to tone it down? Don't people talk to each other anymore?

How did this guy get access to a text from Pacioretty?

Just watched the Hunwick goal with Leipsic.

Dat Leipsic shot.

:lol how is this even possible. Did Patches/Subban leave his phone somewhere?

Seems ridiculous at this point.

Wouldn't mind an explanation of how this works myself, to be honest.

Friedman said something about a potential Cowen-Bickell deal?

Maybe Cowen + pick/prospect for Bickell..
No rumours just speculation.

We'd have to get a pick back for that...

I kinda wish for the lulz we wouldn't traded Cowen+Morin back for Bickell and a pick instead.

I think he meant he heard about it from a source. Radio guys in Montreal are vouching for him and saying there's legit beef there.
