NEW ORLEANS - The NFL Players Association is asking player agents to warn clients that signing with the New Orleans Saints could subject them to unfavourable workers compensation benefits. In an email Friday, NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith said union officials believe agents should "consider the Saints efforts" to push for legislation that would substantially reduce benefits to players who are hurt outside the 17-week regular season, when player salaries are paid. Players receive only per diems during off-season workouts and training camp. Under legislation which has passed the Louisiana House of Representatives and awaits consideration in the state Senate, workers compensation benefits could be based on per diems — rather than the full annual value of a contract — if injuries occurred in the off-season. "We are actively involved in the effort to defeat this bill but we feel it is important for you to consider the Saints efforts given your representation of our players and the advice you would have to give to any free agent player considering an opportunity to play for the Saints," Smith wrote. "Please advise your players of the potential consequences of the Saints efforts should they sign with the Saints." Bill supporters say it would place athletes under the same rules as other Louisiana employees. The Saints have not commented on the legislation since its introduction in the House of Representatives, but quarterback Drew Brees has come out publicly against it. In a written statement distributed by the NFLPA, Brees said the legislation "is not good for Saints players, not good for our team or other sports teams in Louisiana and not good for our state." "The job of legislators in Louisiana is to protect injured workers and fight for their workers comp benefits, not find ways to support bills like this one which reduce the workers comp benefits we receive when we get hurt. There is no financial benefit to the state with this bill, only team management," Brees continued. "Whether we get hurt during the season or in the preseason, it is all the same. It is in preparation to help us win a championship for our community." The legislation, called House Bill 1069, aims to calculate workers compensation benefits for pro athletes based only on recent earnings. The NFLs collective bargaining agreement has a formula that also includes future earnings and is aimed at ensuring that benefits are calculated on the full annual value of a players contract. The bill is sponsored by state Reps. Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, and Cameron Henry, R-Metairie. Broadwater has said the Saints asked for the bill, which aims to clarify in law that pro athletes cannot be exempt from a state formula that applies to every other Louisiana employee seeking workers compensation benefits after a workplace injury. The NFLPA counters that athletes should not be punished with potentially reduced benefits simply because their salaries are not distributed evenly over a 52-week period. In past years, the same matter has spawned several lawsuits between the Saints and former players — with differing outcomes depending on the venue. A state appeals courts in Jefferson Parish, home of Saints headquarters, has sided with the clubs assertion that players must follow precisely the same formula as other Louisiana employees. However, an appeals court in Orleans Parish, where the Superdome is located, has ruled that the annual value of player contracts should serve as the basis for benefits, regardless of when the injury occurs.

The 36-year-old tried to anticipate Tuesdays reception at the Scotiabank Saddledome when his new team - the Boston Bruins - take on the Calgary Flames. You can watch the game live in the second half of the NHL on TSNs doubleheader at 9:30pm et/6:30pm pt immediately following the first game between the Montreal Canadiens and Los Angeles Kings. A Flame for the first 16 seasons of his NHL career and team captain for nine until his trade March 27, Iginla expected to have more trouble than usual getting to sleep on the eve of his first game in Calgary wearing enemy colours. "Im trying to prepare myself," Iginla said Monday in the unfamiliar confines of the visitors dressing room. "I dont plan on being extremely emotional, but I dont know. Im really want to try and take it as it comes. It will be different. I guess I dont rule it out." That the right-winger is already with his second team -- the Boston Bruins -- puts some distance on the deal that sent Iginla to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a first-round draft pick and two college forwards to the Flames. Iginla played 13 regular season games and 15 post-season games for Pittsburgh. He then signed as a free agent with the Boston Bruins, a team he turned down in favour of the Penguins the night he was dealt. There will likely be more appreciation than animosity expressed towards Iginla on Tuesday. Hes Calgarys all-time leading scorer with 525 goals and 570 assists in 1,219 games. Iginla was the NHLs leading goalscorer twice as a Flame. He captained the team to the Stanley Cup final in 2004 when they lost in seven games to Tampa Bay. But Flames faced a fourth straight season out of the playoffs when Iginla was asked by general manager Jay Feaster to waive his no-trade clause. Iginla did so and supplied a list of preferred destinations. Not unlike the sentiment when defennceman Ray Bourque left the Bruins after 21 seasons to pursue a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche, there was a sense that Iginla couldnt be faulted for wanting to join a team that could win him a Cup before his career ended.dddddddddddd "I dont think there was a lot of hard feeling as far as I know," Iginla said. "I had great experiences. I loved playing here. Im going to enjoy playing here tomorrow and being back in the Saddledome. "Hopefully its a warm reception and I know it will be special for myself. I imagine its going to be a little bit different at the start, but it will be cool." The Bruins could be Iginlas vehicle to that elusive Cup. Boston tops the Eastern Conference at 20-8-2. The Flames are second-last in the West at 11-14-4. Iginla has six goals, including a pair of game-winners, and 11 assists in 30 games for Boston. His last game at the Saddledome was March 24, when he scored the winner for Calgary in a 3-2 win over St. Louis. Iginla was kept out of the game against the Avalanche three nights later while trade talks were in full force. He said the following morning at his farewell press conference "I would have known it was the last one." If Flames fans decide to acknowledge Iginla warmly Tuesday, the rebuilding Flames wont begrudge him that moment. "Its going to be pretty different and weird obviously seeing him in a different uniform," said Mark Giordano, Iginlas successor as captain. "A lot of us played with him for a long time, but Im sure once the game gets going, hes a competitive guy and were all competitive so it will be a hard-fought game. Obviously its a big night for Iggy and Im sure hell get a warm reception here. "Theres going to be a good buzz in the building. Hes obviously meant so much to this city and team that its going to be pretty special for him to come back and player here, but we need those two points."
