Coyotes signed Nolan

[shooter]

Wow, this place is dead! I thought this would have been here by now..

Nolan settles & moves on.

Before agreeing to make Phoenix his next destination, Nolan settled his much-publicized grievance with the last team to employ his services: the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Sportsnet has learned the 34-year-old winger settled the $12.1-million grievance on Tuesday ($6.5 million based on Leafs locking out an injured player, remaining $5.6 million based on his player option in 2005/06). However, under the details of the ruling, no details will be disclosed due to a strict confidentiality pact between the two parties.

The word settled makes me think he got something significant. I guess teeder was correct about the Leafs medical staff back then.

I think I can handle the pace of this Leafs board

What did Teeds say again about the Leafs med. staff, again?

I hope this board picks up, once the season starts!

The Leafs med. staff, (up untill this season) was the best in the NHL & I'm just saying that, cause I'm a Leafs fan. It's fact, around the whole NHL. Has been for years now.

Yeah, there's nothing bad written anywhere about Chris Broadhurst and his staff.

Except, maybe, on some other Leaf board somewhere...

I'm guessing that once Nolan's agent caught wind that the 'Yotes would offer him a deal, he dropped his suit against the Leafs.

I mean really... what leg did he really have to stand on? Even if Broadhurst was the most inept team trainer in the league, there was nothing stopping Nolan from getting a second opinion.

And he had two full summers and a full season off to get it done. He didn't. He waited until hockey started again to get his injuries worked on.

Sorry, but nobody in their right minds could side with Owen on this one.

Nolan really turned out to be a peace of scum didn't he?

I do not wish him well with the Yotes. I also bet he won't be able to perform this year to boot which will make him really wish he didn't get that surgery done a long time ago.

MLSE should make pat quinn pay whatever $$$ nolan received in the settlement.

it'd be only fair.

I'll set the over/under on games played at 35.

Um, what the hell are you guys talking about?

This has nothing to do with Chris Broadhurst, this has to do with the team's doctors who diagnosed Nolan's knee injury. According to Nolan they misdiagnosed it. This would be the same crack team that misdiagnosed Renberg's infection a couple of years back, and the same team that got wholesale fired by JFJ last year.

How do any of us know whether or not Nolan's injury was from the leafs or acquired during the lockout? That was the subject of the complaint and given that it was settled, leads me to believe that neither side was that sure as to who was right. Nolan probably wanted it settled so he could continue his career, but why would the Leafs? Unless they suspected something really was wrong with their diagnosis, I think.

I'll say he plays 70-75 games. I also think he might score 25 goals.
