Well that only helps the Wild if he isn't on the NHL team...which he likely will be, just doesn't seem like it helps them that much financially.

EDIT: How it does help is you'd rather spend $3mil on a scorer than a physical player like Clutterbuck.

Nino doesn't make 3 million, his actual salary is 900,000 if he gets all his bonuses, he will get 2.75 in salary, and I expect Cal to get about that much from the Islanders.
Yeah his cap hit is higher right now than Cal's but this wasn't a cap trade, this was a trade to make the team better and the Wild are not done,
Expect Seto to be traded, and Gilbert may end up being bought out.
Those would be cap moves for the most part.

And compliance buyouts end after next season.

Unless the Cap goes up, up & up, the Penguins have a lot of money tied up in 3 skaters.

EDIT: The usual TSN twitters have Lecavalier to the Flyers 5 @ $4.5 per

Does Phoenix need a 1b to spell Smith, or is LaBarbera still the subpar backup? AZ fits his politics.

On another note, what are some of these players smoking? Clarkson reportedly wants 7 yrs/$6m. Detroit is letting Flippula walk because he wants $5m/yr off the back of one very good outlying season in '11-'12, despite following that up with arguably his worst campaign as a Wing this year. Funny how some thought bringing the cap down would put an end to overpayment of fringe second liners having one breakout year.

Glendale city counsel votes 4-3 in favor of keeping the 'yotes in Glendale. Looks like this saga is over... for now.

Unless the new ownership rejects what they approved. However, the way the league has carefully vetted perspective owners to ensure a Phoenix-minded buyer is in line, it seems unlikely that would happen.
 
Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

I honestly feel horrible for the City of Seattle. Leagues just love using that place as leverage. I really think they could support a team. Not only do they get jobbed out of the NHL, but lost out on the AHL as well. They need to be given a team in the next round of expansion. (Which will happen.)

Can't easily link on my phone... If you want a good, make that GREAT laugh, go check out the first and second team all star lists.

One of these things is just like the other...
