Your all wrong... go to cap geek.... its (the amount paid-cap hit)/years left on contract.......
His Salary over the next 7 years in millions of dollars is 10,10,10,8.5,4,1.5,1

There are no savings when he retires because there is no salary and no cap hit
so if he plays: 3 years (30-(3*7.727)/4(years left) = 1.7 per year
4 years = (38.5-(4*7.7)/3= 2.53 for 3 years
5 years = (42.5-38.635) =1.9325 for 2 years


I long for the day that people quit stating "Facts" before they do the research and argue vehemently about stuff they haven't read up on

EXACTLY. Other than me using rounded numbers, and $38.5M instead of $38.625, $2M for 2 years. Precisely what I said.

So, let's say the Leafs trade for Vinny, and he plays 5 years, then retires at 38. To make it quick, I'll just tell you the numbers. $42.5M in salary paid, $38.5 cap hit, for a difference of $4M. That $4M would be the cap advantage recapture amount for the Leafs.

So, if he retires at that time, he has 2 years left on his contract. The $4M cap hit that the Leafs saved, gets applied over the 2 years, and it's $2M over 2 years. The Lightning get that $9.2M over 2 years, and their hit is $4.6M for 2 years.

If he goes on to play a 6th year, the cap hit on retirement decreases, due to the sixth year having a salary lower than cap hit. Similarly, if he's traded next summer, one more year of big cap advantage gone, a team he's traded to will have a lower hit on retirement.

I'd be willing to bet they just keep him though.

Really???

Streit, BTW, is a 35+ contract, meaning cap hit counts even if he retires/quits. Likely be looking for long-term deal in $5M/yr range.

yeah, my mistake, I thought that was taken out given that cap recapture would take care of the cap advantages from a front load.

That actually presents an interesting scenario. If they're at full cap hit on a front loaded contract signed after 35, if they retire early, there actually is the possibility of a conract having higher cap hit than salary over the life of the contract.

Regardless, it has nothing to do with Vinny's contract. It doesn't apply.

That was waaaayyyy out from the left field.
