[Official] NHL 2010/2011


Recommended Posts

It's a prorated contract for the 2010-11 season. From my understanding, that contract is up at the end of the season whether he plays or not. I don't think they can just hold off and apply the salary to another year. I'd like to know the official ruling on that.

Ouldnt he just sit out the season and become a UFA, with no waiver restrictions? I know they have the option to suspend him.

The Isles have the option of appealing to the league to "toll" his contract. Essentially applying his contract to next season instead of this season. Then they would be able to let him sit the year and trade him next year.

nabokov isn't going anywhere... he hung up on garth snow when he called him :rofl:

Haha, I read that on TSN this morning. Brutal!

Speaking of brutal, the Devils are going to pass the Oilers any day now in the overall standings. It's all happening again... :no:

Did anyone see Tampa Bay's New Jersey? :x

maybe should've stayed with the White, Silver and Black.

They look prone to Blue and White disease.

The Leafs sent defenceman Francois Beauchemin back to the Anaheim Ducks for forward Joffrey Lupul, prospect defenceman Jake Gardiner and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2013.

I suspect this is only one of many changes coming to Leafs Nation over the coming weeks.

Burke just stole his first rounder back from Anahiem. :laugh:

That's a bit ambiguous because both Lupul and Gardiner were 1st round picks. The real prize is Gardiner since Lupul is a decent but overpaid winger. I'm expect this to be regarded as a trade win for Toronto although that will depend on Lupul's health and Gardiner's development.

Lupul is a bit expensive ($4.25 million cap hit for two more seasons), so the Leafs are taking a bit of a risk of their own in this deal. However, Gardiner is the prize catch. A solid all-around defensive prospect, he could turn pro in 2011-12. For now, Beauchemin's minutes will be missed. The Leafs could recall Keith Aulie to replace him, which is a positive move for the future but a step back now. Because Gardiner was added, this was a good move for Toronto.

Also, it isn't a case of "could" recall. They will recall Keith Aulie at 12:01 on Thursday. While Aulie is only 21, the Leafs are quite happy with his 6'5" frame.

Well I meant Gardiner.. the most 'recent' first round pick that Burke has acquired. :laugh:

Maple Leaf Kris Versteeg has been traded to Philadelphia Flyers for two draft picks, including a first-round draft pick.

not happy at all.. not happy. Oh well. :no: :no:

Lupul seems to be awesome for Phil Kessel. After going for dogs years without a goal, he has three goals since Lupul arrived and I believe that Lupul has assisted on all three of them. The first two were PP markers but tonights first goal was at even strength.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
