Since we officially carried him on the roster last year, haven't we fulfilled the Rule 5 obligation already? Also, I think it's that we have to offer to return him for some nominal price. It's not automatic.Quote:

The pend decisions will be interesting to follow this Spring.
I don't think he was on the active roster long enough...but I could be wrongQuote:
