yellowcar posted:Jeeeeeeeeesus I've always thought the league was evil but cartoonishly evil. Calling the players "puppets" for their lawyers is at least a somewhat reasonable legal argument to make. However, claiming the players are too stupid to have their own thoughts and opinions is reeeaaaaallly bad.

Ginette Reno posted:You know some other team will be dumb and/or desperate enough to trade for him. Even if not, the Pens will buy him out if they have to, or bribe LV not to take MM. Obviously buying out Fleury is the failsafe, although it's possible he somehow gets hurt at the end of the season and can't be bought out (that's a thing right?) The thing I can't seem to figure out is the Pittsburgh bribing Vegas thing. If Murray has to be exposed, what could the Penguins possibly offer Vegas that would be better than just taking Murray for free? Like, Pittsburgh won the cup last year and are looking pretty good this year too, so their draft picks have to be some of the least valuable. Presumably Vegas can pick up depth and AHL players from lots of other teams or wherever. Is there some roster player(s) or prospect(s) that Pittsburgh can and would part with that would convince Vegas not to take the good, young, free goalie?

Ginette Reno posted:The idea would be you tell Vegas hey we'll offer you xyz if you don't take Murray and you can still take whoever in the expansion draft (Hagelin, etc). If you don't want that deal we're just going to buy out Maf instead and you'll still get the same player you're getting now but without the additional picks + prospects. OK yeah that makes more sense. I didn't think of the "or we buy him out anyways" idea. So Vegas would get whatever picks/depth/prospects plus the guy they'd take anyways, and Pittsburgh gets to keep both goalies. That works.
