Lala, you seem pretty sure that Halifax will pay for Frk's release. That makes me feel a little better about the situation, haha.
I think it would be a waste to bring Knotek back. He would cost us one of Bety, Grant or Amyot and would take icetime away from an already deep group of young forwards. If we can move him for a pick, great. But I am not concerned with Knotek at this point. It's Frk or bust.

Lala is right, if Knotek comes back, they trade him for a draft pick and they still have Frk's rights ! It will cost big time to get Frk in Halifax though, between $250 -$300 thousand.

They will get 50K back for NHL developmental fees if he ends up being a 1st rd pick. Frk will probably cost 250K, youll get 50 back and the 200K will likely be returned by extra fan interest/ticket sales over the 2 years. Look at the Impact Voracek had over his 2 years here, im sure if you could somehow calculate how much his presense translated into extra dollars it would be well over 200K.

How would that work with Frk in the picture? Can Knotek's rights be moved without affecting the status of Frk? more importantly how much of a market do you suppose there would be for a 20 year old Euro...... considering the 20 year old market is quite thin and well presumably most teams have their two euros in place now only way I see Knotek returning to the Q is to Halifax if the Frk situation can't be resolved The market is thin because it's filled with 20's that are marginal upgrades on a teams current group. Knotek is an impact player though. If a team has a euro vacancy.... or even if the current euro isn't anything special..... Knotek is the type of 20 a team would be willing to drop a player for. The majority of guys available right now, aren't worth dropping a player a team already has.

An extra 216 adults per game over two years generates just over $200,000 in net revenue. Well within the realm of possibility.

That's from ticket sales alone. Jersey sales would also bring in a good revenue.

If he helps the team and over those two years they go just ONE extra round in the playoffs and even if they lose in four games... two home games if the tickets are about $15 and even if only 6,000 fans are there... $180,000.
Easy to see where that money can be made back. And we're talking 2 years... maybe they get a 3rd.
Edit... I suppose they wouldn't even need one more round as he could just help them last longer in rounds they lose.

Lala, I read in an article where Saskatoon was having a simular problem with a Slovak player, but the blades GM said they aren't allowed to buy contacts as per WHL by-law, I'm assuming that the Q has no such by-law. Yes?

Just wondering what teams might want a Euro player that is a proven player in this league? That on a team with better players could maybe be a 80 to 90 point player. But this player is also a 20 year old on the team. Basically what I'm asking is what team could use and up grade at the Euro spot and 20 spot at the same time?

That suck I was hoping they would soak up another 2nd round or 3rd for this years draft. I guess it doesn't really matter we won't have any room for them next year anyways.

Yes? The WHL has a good track record of bringing over high end euros...I can say with confidence that some WHL teams have paid Euro Teams a release...so Im not sure whgat the Saskatoon Blades GM meant by that.

Makes me wonder what we can get for Knotek....We got a 7th 2011 for Metcalfe, and Moncton gets a 5th 2012 from Cape Breton for the same player. Guess a year older and Finals experience is worth 2 rounds.
