How do we retain salary on both? rent we already retaining salary on grosman? thought only two contracts can be retained.
- jmdodgeser4


A team can retain salary on 3 contracts....one of the downsides to this deal is that salary cannot be retained on any deals until this offseason...meaning Streit, Read, Amac, and most likely Gagner are staying

Vincent Lecavalier will play for the #kings for the rest of the season and intend to retire at the end of it. Last season in the NHL.

SO: Cap people:

DO they Flyers still have the $2.25M next season, or if he retires, it's gone?

Umberger it was nice knowing you! He's as good as gone I'd think with Vinny off the books entirely (right?) next year if he retires.

Because he gets to go out on his own terms, something he couldn't do here. He may not have retired if he wasn't traded.

That high pitch you hear as the wind is blowing in Philly is simply Nutter's screams from up North.

If that happens then no additional salary retention after this year for all 3 Grossmann, Schenn and Vinny

Bruce Arthur ‏@bruce_arthur 46s46 seconds ago

So the Kings will have nearly $8-million come off the cap at the end of the year, which helps with an Anze Kopitar extension, I guess?
