I dont know if that would free him up to sign another contract with someone else.<BR/><BR/>What a ridiculous mess this is, and so easily avoided too. <BR/><BR/>1.) Sutter SHOULDN'T have re-signed Nilson a last summer when it was fairly clear he was going to passed on the depth chart by a bunch of people. Especially to a multi-year deal and ESPECIALLY to contract @ 1M/year. <BR/><BR/>2.) When it became clear that Keenan had no use for Nilson, Sutter should have found some way to cut the guy lose. Last trade deadling, this past draft day, etc. Of course, trading a player like Nilson (who can be replaced by younger guys) is tough when he's tabbed to make $1M (DURRR!).<BR/><BR/>3.) After realizing that no one would want Nilson at his price point, Sutter most certainly should have bought him out. Especially if he knew (and he must have) that Nilson had no intention of returning to play under Keenan. <BR/><BR/>This isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But it is just so...bloody stupid.Kent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15679878875910837307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-34126578868399277932008-09-04T04:19:00.000-06:002008-09-04T04:19:00.000-06:00haha thats nice of you but i dont think so, i real...haha thats nice of you but i dont think so, i really wouldn't know what to write so i'll just chime in with some comments here and there if thats ok:)shephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787566650641609115noreply@blogger.com
