Comments Still Down, and Arcane CBA Facts
September 2nd, 2009, 9:19 am
Sorry about that. I have word from the administrator that it will be worked on this weekend. In the meantime you can listen to the latest podcast, and comment over a DOH or on our FB page.
Also for those few (maybe less than few) of you that are wondering about that pick the Sharks could get if they don’t sign Pat White to a pro contract (as mentioned by David Pollak) Here’s the relevant passage in the CBA, section 8.3(b):
In the event a Club loses its draft rights to an Unsigned Draft Choice drafted in the first round of the Entry Draft (except as a result of failing to tender a required Bona Fide Offer (as defined below)), who is again eligible for the Entry Draft or becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent, a Compensatory Draft Selection shall automatically be granted to that Club, which Compensatory Draft Selection shall be the same numerical choice in the second round in the Entry Draft immediately following the date the Club loses such rights. By way of example, if a Club cannot sign the third pick in the first round, it will receive the third pick in the second round as compensation.
So since Mr. White was drafted 25th overall, if he becomes a UFA in 2010 because the Sharks don’t sign him to a contract, the Sharks will then get the 25th pick in the second round of 2011 as compensation.
Comments should be working now.
Thanks!
Anyone notice that the line pairings and combos that David Pollack listed about a month ago had Lukowich as the 7th man out…and Ehrhoff in the last pairing?

I wonder if those combos that we all seemed to pass off very quickly had more credence that we though??? If the Sharks do plan on getting another top line scorer like Heatley or Kessel does this confusing top line combo of Michalek, Jumbo, and Cheech signal who might be on the block??
hmmm….
Also, nice call of Frazer Mclaren dudes… If you notice he is written in on the fourth line as possible competition with Shelley…
Dudes,
What do you think of Dan Hinote being invited to Sharks training camp?
