Not according to capgeek.

You're right, it's 1.5M in bonuses. But that just changes the number to having to clear about 6.5M to avoid a bonus overage.

I call BS on that premise. If they NEED salary then why compliance buyout Jovo or sign Bolland for 5 years. 5 years with all that wonderful youth is a receipt for disaster IMHO. He has never had a 20 goal season. I know hockey is more then goals but 5.5M for a third line center coming off injury. Terrible
- coffee junkie


I'm not saying Its a good signing. They do save money by buying out Jovo. I'm just saying the money isn't as big of a deal as it would be for cap ceiling team.

Sure, I'm just not too worried about having a $1.5 million penalty to start next season. It will be manageable.

Can't see Hextall going into next year with RJ being only real addition which isn't much with the subtraction of Hartnell.

There may not be UFA signing but I have a feeling there could be a trade.

Mez went from "KHL candidate" in the beginning of this past year to playing his way into another deal. Unbelievable.

Free Agency is a two way street. Teams can contact him. And lot of times it's just faxes of offers sent to an agent. I'd be willing to bet that he received a bunch of interest and offers.
- MJL

I wouldnt doubt it... But again.. my point is that no one knows anything for sure. So to say he WOULDNT have taken the same deal with the Flyers... Nobody knows. All we know is that he signed with the Pens for 1 year 4 mil. Done over with.

EDIT: And never did I say that he didnt take a cut. That is pretty obvious.

Emery
Brodeur
Thomas
Nabokov
Vokoun
Giguere

Not sure about Vokoun since he hasn't played for a year. Did well the previous year. 99.8% sure Giguere is retiring.

- Streit2ThePoint



For me its giggy, he only wants 1 more year and his save % has been above 900 most of career.

His point totals make him look more attractive than he is. He's become a very one dimensional player at this point
