[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:

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.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
