A second rounder can't make the team owner a couple million dollars for the two home games the Avs would get in before losing in the first round. Not a smart decision for the long run though. Unless they sign Boedker.

Doesn't the NHL team actually have to offer the player a contract (and be rejected by the player) before they are awarded the compensatory pick? I may be wrong but I thought that was the case.

we will see, wouldn't be surprised if the Wild take that last spot

[PeteMoss]

Wood is putting up some reasonable points for a big guy. He may be the best piece the Avs moved.

[automaton 3]

Not sure Boedker will help the Avs much. I think I like this better for the 'Yotes.

Seems like a premier price for Colorado to pay. Equivalent to a 1st and a 3rd. Not sure if I like it from their POV. Good deal for Arizona though.

It's more equivalent to a 2nd and a 3rd. I really don't think the Avs liked what they saw from Bleackley, hasn't progressed and was unlikely to be signed. He was very much as Pracey type pick and the Avs have made mention of how bad those have been for them.

Fixed.

[sureLoss]

Yup Beackley might not be signed by the Coyotes

Craig Morgan @craigsmorgan
Maloney said C Bleackley has a knee injury. Will re-evauated before June 1. If team doesn't sign him they get a compensatory pick (2nd rd).

[Machiavelli]

Iginla has been playing with Grigorenko and Duchene lately.

[Neeper]

Rumour: Iggy to Arizona

yeah poor Tangs will probably try to get Iggy to Arizona some how.

Oh Tanguay

@davest4yotes

Alex Tanguay on trade: "I’m very happy. It’s a great chance to play for a very well-coached team that's still battling for the playoffs."

[Jordan!]

Weird, but it's better getting something for Boeds. Look forward to him going pointless to close out the season and re-signing in AZ.

I can't tell if that is Tanguay complimenting Dave Tippett or throwing a backhanded insult at Roy.

With Tanguay's history the latter seems more lovely IMO

[browna]

Yeah, Tanguay gets some nice weather for an extra few weeks. At this point, I think he's playing out the string and is fine with that.

His move to Montreal, who had no desire to sign him, then signed late in the Summer by Tampa, he looked literally done after a useless season. Owes all he's made for the past 5 years to Iginla and the Flames for bringing him back.

[killer_carlson]

No, Tangauy is a pro with a solid history in Denver.

He's complimenting Tippett on what has to be a gut wrenching trade for him.

On or before June 1 in the year following a junior player being drafted, the team must make a "bona fide offer" (i.e. a minimum level ELC) to the player to keep his rights for another year. If a team doesn't make a required offer within the first year, they lose their rights to the player and any compensation they'd receive for failing to sign him. If the team does make the required offer, and it is rejected, they'll receive the compensation they're entitled to if they don't sign him in the future.

Once the bona fide offer is received, the player has 30 days to either accept or reject it. Most players reject the offers because they want more than a minimum level contract.


If Colorado still held Bleakley's rights, that means they must have tendered an offer within the time it was required last year, so they've met their obligations.
