I don't think Calgary would pass on him.

Hell no.

All this:

I believe that you would have to wait until seven days after the offer sheet in order to judge who was last-place and first in line to claim him off waivers.

Upper body. Was holding his chest last game with the Vanek face. I'm off to the game.

Vanek's out. Flynn's in.

Like I told my bf last night, you've got to go to those areas where good things happen!

Avs were asking for Del Zotto, Kreider and a pick.

Kelly's? http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/21222-where-to-watch-sabres-on-the-road/page__st__40#entry278932

Someone has to go soon with Leino possibly off IR on Thursday.

Was there. The mood that night was a big f-u Hasek all night and that topped it off. Was there. Remember people bitching because they showed the replay on the jumbo before he got up. Was there. Drury's goal before that was even better. The woman on the jumbo singing along to the Monkey's "I'm a Believer". The crowd never so loud (even with all the Chet and Muffy's that already left). We need a Drury Game 5 again.

I had sea kittens for dinner last night. I'd like an exotic pet, like a llama or an emu.

He had maintenance day today. Calling Flynn up might be replacing Vanek. But they still need to put someone on IR. Leopold practiced today in full gear. Not sure what's going on.

Vanek might be out tmrw

Isn't Ryan contradicting himself? “It was a big number. I didn’t really expect that. But it’s great. It’s what we wanted, and was worth it to wait this long. Now it’s strictly business now, as it was then – just perform on the ice.” It's what we wanted but I didn't expect it? Didn't expect a team about to lose a 1st and a 3rd plus you to offer you 5 mill a season?

They thought the fur coat was real and wrote this letter to TPegs: http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/pdf/terry-pegula-fur-letter.pdf and then Otter going off on them is priceless. https://twitter.com/otterN9NE

I hear Feaster's on the phone with Montreal inquiring about Cole. And Gillis is looking over his shoulder saying in his head "what sheet? I know of no such thing" preparing himself.

Flames release on O'Reilly: “Prior to tendering the offer sheet for Ryan O’Reilly we, as a hockey operations department, examined whether there were any impediments to our successfully securing the services of the player including, but not limited to, his having played in the KHL after the start of the current NHL season. Our interpretation of the Article 13 transition rules governing restricted free agents (“RFA”), and the applicability of Article 13.23 under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement to such RFA’s was, and continues to be, different than the NHL’s current interpretation as articulated to us this morning. Moreover, throughout our discussions, the player’s representative shared our interpretation and position with respect to the non-applicability of Article 13.23. While we were prepared to advance our position with the NHL, in light of Colorado’s having matched the offer sheet it is now an academic point. As such, we will have no further comment on the matter, the player, or the offer sheet process.” What an idiot. In other words they would have gone to court or waited until next year to play him.

More clarification: Waiver exemption applies to the club that has the player on their OWN reserve list. So if Avs signed him he wouldn't need to clear waivers because he's on their reserve list. If Calgary signed him (which they did by offer sheet) he would need to clear because he's not on their reserve list. Insert caveat: The Avs could have moved O'Reilly to Calgary's reserve list (for future considerations or something, wink wink) and he wouldn't need to clear waivers for Calgary to get him. I am so done with this soap opera today.

Back then there weren't enough video cameras to tape film everyone. <sarcasm

Next week at this time we'll see who is in last and could have picked him up. Muahahahaha...
