Wouldnt wanna take that cap hit!

One slight correction Mike - money won't be much of a factor at all in this scenario. Schultz will be still be obligated to sign an ELC contract. His base salary maximum regardless of what team he signs with will be (I believe) 875K. Of course, Toronto can offer him the maximum bonuses, but so can everyone else - especially since no one ever hits those bonuses (or at least 90% of them).
-
That's kind of what makes this scenario so intriguing. It's not like he's truly a free agent in the sense that the highest bidder will land his services. Other teams have nothing to offer that Anaheim doesn't. He just wants to choose the team he signs with. With that in mind, Gardiner's quote seems all the more important in this whole little scheme.

Sure, everyone can offer him maximum bonuses, but that does count on the cap hit, does it not?

Really, you'd do that? Deal!

lol
will anaheim be able to sign perry and getzlaf to new deals? or pittsburgh with j.stall? it seems like there could be a few name players left by the end of the year, hard to say though

Pitt has 40 mill committed to 10 guys for the 2013-14 season... not including Crosby and Staal.

Crosby gets 10... Staal? I doubt they can afford him too and fill out the roster.

Yeah then we'll trade you Eberle for Mike Brown

yeaah thats probably true, but even if he does make it to free agency, theres no way in hell he'd wanna play in TO. You'd think he'd definitely want a chance to play with one of his brothers

Carolina has 2 Staals already.... and money to spend

connolly, lombardi and armstrong all come off the books next year..
thats 11 million 250,000 in one year, and thatll be the year burke gets fired. Gives the new guy lots of money to spend. And this is only from 3 guys coming off the books !

Crosby could score 100 points with actual penguins on his line.

Out of all that I say you'll get Crabb signed. That's it.
- robin_steele264

So we're not even signing our own RFA's (Frattin, Scrivens, Holzer)?

Every team will be in on this player... If the Gardiner comment holds true, then maybe the Leafs are out in front. The Leafs also being as putrid as they have last season have spots available on D.
