In true geek fashion, after news broke that North Korea is manufacturing its own netbooks for business and educational use, we found ourselves clustered in the ExtremeTech boardroom, brainstorming the possible uses of a North Korean Netbook (NKN). At first we worried that it would be impossible to get our hands on an actual NKN, but then we discovered that North Korea isn’t actually making its own netbooks: it’s simply re-branding very cheap ($80) Chinese ARM smartbooks.

Fans and teams alike should be used to life in the age of the salary cap era by now.Teams have to make choices.There are players teams would love to keep, but just to sign him back on. Trades could free up some money, but these days it’s generally very hard to find a trade partner that doesn’t want to go dollar-for-dollar.Then there are those players who showed promise, or flashes of something that a particular team liked. Whatever the reasoning, be it money, bad contracts, or performance, here is my list of one player per team that won’t be wearing the same colors (or maybe any colors at all) come October.

A year or two into it, the skater hasn’t lived up to the contract, but is still making money. They are a cap drain of sorts, forcing the team to move players they’d like to keep since, in most cases, no one will take on a high dollar under-achiever (unless you’re Montreal).
