Salary Cap concerns - all teams

Cap'n Clutch wrote:All members can make sticky notes I'm pretty sure so if you're willing to start putting them into the team threads I'm all for it. As for a dedicated forum for CBA and Cap issues I'll talk to the Co-founders but it sounds like it's something we could set up for sure.

The nice thing about the Kovalev signing is that now Murray literally cant take back more salary then he is trading. This forces GM's to make a better deal and worry about their cap problems first. Murray can clear up a little over a million dollars in salary fairly easily before the end of the season and still keep Heatley.

San Jose def has to make othe rmoves first... not sure how but I bet giving Blake that contract now doesnt seem like such a good idea even though signing Blake himself isnt that bad of a thing or deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Bingo only have 1 AHL-ready goalie right now in M. Brodeur? I think the organization still needs to add an AHL goalie, no?

I'm sure that Mike O'Keefe is there but an AHL backup should be easy to find.

I don't think we even gave him a qualified offer, tho' someone please correct me if they know better; and I think O'Keefe is still in junior.

Granted, I don't really follow the situation of minor-league teams.

It's nice to see them pick up Mike Brodeur for Bingo though. Plus the prospects coming in there the Bingo fans will have a solid team to cheer for.

OK, then, well, the problem again becomes (assuming that we're dealing with SJ), what does SH have of interest to us that we could want in return for Heatley, and again (with the Kovalev signing) assuming that we want to avoid taking back all kinds of salary given the predicament we're facing next year with all our RFAs?

Would Clowe/Michalek + Couture + McGinn / 1st be a good starting point? Is that something like an equitable deal for each team?
