Capitals' Kuznetsov clears waivers, assigned to AHL Hershey

are Pagnotta's rumors also based on completely illogical assumptions, and written with a ton of absurd grammar mistakes that no one ever makes? because if so, at that point we're basically talking about identity theft.

not surprising. I wonder if he's gonna report to the farm team or if he's already looking at the KHL.

my brother came up with a good moving company that we all use.

i'm just putting poop i don't use on a daily basis in boxes. also, everything else i own is in the hatch of my car. like old family photo albums, my hats, i think there's some winter clothes or something in there, etc. these things are all in bags. i'm going to separate that stuff into bankers boxes too.

i'm just doing the things that i can take care of while extremely high.

Who knows ...

31 years old, 17 points in 43 games @ 7.8 mil cap hit and an history of substance abuse. He might have some trouble finding an NHL team who wants him after his contract is over next year.

he has 7 million reasons to go to hershey. the KHL isn't paying much these days. well, at least as far as reported salaries are concerned. i am sure there are some illegal money laundering payments being paid.

right, so his NHL contract would become void if he refuses to report there, didn't think about that. pretty sure he'd be totally fine with his career earnings, unless he's spent it all on designer drugs, but yeah that would be a lot of money to leave on the table.

can i get an amen?!

Armia would be a perfect fit with the booins according to Pagnotta... if we talk about it enough, these rumors might gain some traction after all.

Usually when you are a contender, you try to add depth here and there. You have your stars already, otherwise, you are most likely not a contender.

When the caps won their cup, both Lars Eller and Smith-Pelly played an important role for them to get there.

I also think Armia woke up once he was sent down in Laval.

actually, maybe not having that contract anymore could help him, he'd probably at least receive a PTO somewhere in the league to get a fresh start.

Armia was pretty effective on a line with Perry during the habs run to the finals. I know he can play a certain role, but the lack of consistency combined with his current cap hit isn't making it easy for him to be traded. MTL will surely have to retain 50%.

Would you give a PTO to a coke addict? ... I sure wouldn't, bad image for a team.

His bad decisions (and consequences) are no one's fault except his own.

He also knows his contract expires after next year, he needs to start putting up numbers (or showing usefulness) if he wants to find another job in the NHL.

ok, but there's a difference between being a "coke addict", and someone who went through the players' assistance program and that is now looking for a second chance...

I'm not saying his issues are completely gone, but it's definitely possible that he's already doing better. I'm not aware of the specific details so I'm not going to assume anything.

Pete!

Playing in the NHL is a priviledge and there's a code of conduct expected from professional athletes. Hiring drug addicts is bad PR for a team and bad for business.

Washington had already given him a second chance.

Kuznetsov suspended four years by IIHF, will meet with NHL Commissioner

EDIT: The NHL owes you nothing, if you (frank) up then pay the consequences.
His NHL career is over.

That was enough for me.

Oh, sorry to interrupt..

right, because no one has ever surmounted a drug addiction and moved on from it...

it isn't because someone has had issues with substance abuse that they have forever become a horrible person. I find you're assuming a lot of things, bygones.
