I just assumed everyone knew about that. It's the only way to go... Thankful for it!

I remember attending a Jets 1.0 home game against the Habs and I was running late and as I entered the arena outside of ice site, the crowd erupted so i thought alright Jets scored but nope as i entered my entrance to my seats 1-0 Habs.

Mine was a huge Maple Leafs fan. He had buddies that he'd phone with after checking scores in the paper - similar to this forum, actually. It would've been in the 30s, 40s & 50s.

What bonus? He wouldn't have any bonus until he signed a new contract. That doesn't happen until he is either released or he reaches FA. Team never put in an after the season roster bonus in the final year of a contract. The only time we see the roster bonuses are on the first years of a multi-year deal and most are timed for about the middle of January. It would be epically stupid if 3-4 days before FA, Ceresna had a bonus due on an expiring contract. If that were the case no team would have offered him anything until that bonus was paid. But like I said, there is almost zero chance that Ceresna had not cashed in on every dollar of his expiring contract prior to the window.

Does transferring his rights transfer his bonus?

The neg window is set up that if a team and a player come to an agreement they register that agreement with the league, the team is obligated to follow through at that point if the player does not re-sign with his current team who has a 48 hour exclusive window to try re-sign the player if they so choose. The GMs MUST honor any deal negotiated in the window and filed with the league. As I understand it, and I may not be interpeting it correctly, The player is not obligated to sign any deal and can go to FA if they so desire. They must however inform the league that they no longer intend to sign the deal negotiated and they cannot talk to any other teams until the opening of FA.

Maybe but sounded like Kyle didn’t wanna go any higher. But I’m never going back the past is in the past.

And I say hey what a wonderful kind of day we can learn to laugh and play and get along with each other.

Winners = Winnipeg and Ottawa (both improved areas of need ) bombers got the best OL and DL available. They also improved cdn depth slightly by signing Nield (more than slightly) and grabbed a realiable veteran cornerback. The only question mark with the bombers Is backup qb but options appear limited. Bombers signed all their important free agents and every one is well minus Kyrie Wilson but if the worst move is signing Kyrie who is a solid veteran leader to a 1 year deal. Then yeah bombers are winners Losers = Hamilton and Saskatchewan ( they lost the most players) maybe Toronto also as losing RD and McManiss is 2 huge losses. The rest id keep in the neutral to stayed the same category.

I’m here without you baby, you’re still on my lonely mind I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. RIP Brad Arnold.

Plus Montreal is an iconic original 6 franchise. My grandfather was a huge Canadians fan. Huge.

He’s gonna eat ‘em raw this season cuz he’s a tiger cat.

That blue dot thing does the trick. I'll be using that.

I see. I’ll take a look. An alternative is clicking the blue dot for a thread that has unread posts. It will take you directly to your first unread post. I use this all the time, I only see the first post on new threads.

He's signing somewhere, just not Toronto.

When I open a thread I need to scroll past the 1st posting to click to advance to the last page. Not a big deal, and I am not sure if that can be changed since the threads' titles are a part of the 1st post of each thread.

Rest In Peace, Brad Arnold. To die so young. Very tragic. Eff cancer.

Not sure what you mean by this.

I think most GMs would honour any contracts offered. I don't think any team would mess with the system they have to screw it up. Look at last year when they announced the salary cap kncrease right about now. A week after the window opened. No teams wanted to offer more to nab a player from another team or put in a different offer to keep or sign a free agent. Example: Kenny Lawler. The Bombers could have offered more but said no after he & the Ti Cats agreed to terms.

So, which teams were the free agent winners (including their own) & losers?

I honestly forgot about Arthur being called that too until it was brought up

Transfer or not if Ceresna wanted to back out he could have. He would just need to not sign with the Bombers and wait for FA. Only the team is obligated to terms in the neg window. Player can back out by saying they are no longer interested an hour before the start of FA

Don't remember but that's okay.

Any way to put the page listings above the 1st post of a topic instead of below it? Saves a bit of scrolling if its a topic I am revisiting.

There were in fact...follies.
