Boston should have hearings with Gagne and Skille because of rights trades.

TB will be seeking a 7 year franchise tagged contract with Marian Gaborik.

You can't use your franchise tag.

I appealed to have the decision shortened in June. The league decided two full seasons without a tag was enough, and I received permission from the Commissioner to use my franchise tag on any expiring contract I wish.

EDM also traded a franchise tagged player, and to my knowledge, isn't facing any penalty. However, I could be wrong.

Well that would be a nice addition to the rulebook page. Had I known there was a penalty coming with the trade, I would've just kept Eberle and his last year left on the deal. So what now? I can't use the franchise tag on Vanek?

Given what the current rule is, you would be without a tag for one season. I'm not sure if the league plans to change the rule, or rule on a case by case basis. I told the league I would prefer EDM pay no penalty, and we change the rule to it can be switched without penalty to expiring contracts.

More action.

Well it's hidden in a 2012 trade post and I wasn't around back then but hey, should've figured there was a penalty for removing a franchise tag. I'll comply if I have to, no problem. But it def should be added to the rulebook if it stays.

I agree that there should be a clear rule either way. But swapping franchise tags/players doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Either have it a true franchise player who can't be traded in exceptional circumstances (not the case for Stamkos or Eberle IMO), or just make it a flexible cap saving tool by for example choosing any one player to have it at the start of each season.

Can I get an answer on this? I already sent my arbitration case for Vanek. I'll have to send a new one if that's the case.

Boston wants 1 year for Gagne and 4 years for Skille.

You can franchise tag Vanek.

Did we forget about Kent Simpson?
