Kindl cleared. Cap hit was probably too high for a 7th defenseman.

I actually think teams wants him, but have either no cap space or no roster space, and theyre in the same spot as us, trading is borderline impossible because no teams want to take on Lousy contracts,

theres a ton of teams who need to shed contracts due to roster

Kindl was gonna be a tough sell because of his contract. The $2.4 million cap hit is bad enough, but his actual salary is $2.5 million this year and $3 million next year. Even if somebody wanted to take a flier on him and had plenty of cap space to do it, it's a lot of coin for a player who may not work out at all, especially for budget teams that care more about their actual costs than "averaged salary."
