Actually it says the due date is Thursday October 27, 2011.

This is what I saw "Please pay by Thursday October 27, 2011 to avoid any service disruption."

Thought those guys were on the Blackhawks roster?!

Calvert should be a Free Agent automatically exactly the way unsigned pending MLR FA's were automatically released into the FA pool June 25th. The previous team managers who failed to extend their pending FA's lost them so why would prospects who've clearly passed the 40 games played ceiling be treated differently and protected.

Confirmed. I've got to resign 7 other players this year so this trade is about getting a start on clearing cap space ($5.3m to be exact, oh yeah!    ), needed a goalie and Thiessen will replace Brent Johnson sometime this year. Have no faith in defensemen drafted by Montreal Beaulieu can go but need an NHL defensemen better than Lovejoy, Peckham and Engelland working for my Pens. Talbot and Potulny are spare parts and I didn't want to buy them out and eat valuable cap space plus I've got Dustin Jeffrey ready to make the jump to a full-time top 6 role.

Bottomline, I'm making this trade to get $5m in cap space.  Thanks for the easy negotiations Pigsrule.

Thanks for confirming! 
Still not completely sure of how two lists are mixed and matched, but I'll go with it.
