Yes, we could have signed to a bigger contract IF a team had offered him a deal and we wanted to match it but that was the only way we could have tried to sign him before March. No one offered and therefore the 30% rule was in effect. In fact it was in effect by the old cba definition for 2011 as part of the new cba agreement.
Dane's argument was that we could resign him and he was ****ing wrong. We never had a shot until he hit the UFA market. The players love this rule. They always have. Sometimes guys even get released because of it. The 30% rule was a different angle I was taking to the same fact.
THE FACT THAT WE COULD NOT RESIGN CARR UNTIL MARCH.
Don't try and spin this. You don't know the whole deal either but, just like Dane, you should. I described it in detail and gave a link you dumb ****. Hell, I even posted a link to the CP discussion about it months ago.
This exactly the sort of thing I am talking about. People don't read around here. There is a whole ****ing section in the cba about the "30 PERCENT RULE."

There is nothing in the CBA that says that a player has to become a free agent if he receives a 30% raise.
You provided 2 links. One was about franchise tags and entirely irrelevant. The second link was to the actual CBA. I challenge you to show me the portion that says a player has to become a FA once he receives a 30% raise. To make it easier for you, the 30% rules are listed in article 13, section 7.
The only thing it states is that a renegotiation cannot contain annual base increases of 30% above the base of the final year of the existing contract.
