This is creeping up around the hockey conversations so I thought I should chime in for my team. Through complex mathematics and weighty decisions that were laboured on for hours, I finally came up with the solution of fitting this championship caliber team under the proposed 60 million cap ceiling. This isn’t perfect and I know many of the moves seem extreme, but here goes.


Shane Doan (5.3) – Antoine Vermette (3.75) – Mikkel Boedker (1.1)

Steve Sullivan (2.6) – Martin Hanzal (3.1) – Radim Vrbata (3)

Lauri Korpikoski (1.8) – Boyd Gordon (1.325) – David Moss (2.1)

Raffi Torres (1.75) – Kyle Chipchura (675,000) – Nick Johnson (725,000)

Biznasty (737,000)


Keith Yandle (5.25) – Zbynek Michalek (4)

OEL (1.75) – Rostislav Klesla (2.975)

Derek Morris (2.75) – Michael Stone (845,833)

Chris Summers/Dave Schlemko (800,000/500,000)


Mike Smith (2)

Jason LaBarbera (1.25)


This team comes in at 50,136,583…oh…well that was easy.

Pimpin ain't easy
