That is incredible.

Took a slapshot to the head from Rolston.

Only 9 more years at $4.5M!  (I'm sure there will eventually be a buyout down the road somewhere)

Maybe, but, you can't buy out an injured player, so, maybe not.

The Rangers and Drury got away with it somehow no?

How many more years and dollars is the Yashin buyout?  The buyouts really cripple you forever.  (Tucker's is annoying for us, but relatively tame in comparison)

Not including this season, 3 more years at a shade over $2.2M on the Yashin buyout.

That's not as bad as I thought.  I figured it would be another 6+ on that one ... I guess Yashin has been out of the league for a while.

They're in year 5 of an 8 year buy out.

I believe somebody calculated his potential buyout as being $1.5M/year for 18 years. Ouch.

A buyout probably doesn't make sense as dipietro is extraordinarily unlikely to want to play out his contract at this point.

Luongo for dipietro and spezza/chara for yashin are the two worst decisions I can think of.  It is amazing milbury has a job that purportedly involves knowledge of hockey.

Ducks say Jason Blake suffered tendon damage that requires surgery on Monday. Expected to miss 3 months.


And in a contract year, not sure he comes back next season due to age, so could be his final year playing hockey.
 
A couple notable injuries to some key defencemen;

Lubomir Visnovsky out about a month with a broken finger and Alex Goligoski out about the same duration with a broken thumb.
 
and on the heels of that...

BOS's Milan Lucic has a 1 pm ET hearing tomorrow with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan for his hit on BOS's Ryan Miller.

Rule 69.4 says not fair game but if G plays puck outside crease incidental contact is permitted if player makes attempt to avoid contact.

It doesn't look like Lucic made any attempt to avoid Miller to me. He should be getting a suspension, I figure.
