You keep salary - you also keep cap hit - it's the ONLY way it works under the CBA. Burkie's new rule.

If you keep 50% of salary you keep 50% of cap hit. No other way to do it.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Trading him for Hemsky seems like the best option

No worries - now go start promoting Liles on the Islander thread.

Cant afford Franson at 4 mil, but can afford Hemsky at 5

I think there are many of us that don't fit your description of "we".

I've got him in 4th. Rising ....but in 4th.

Poor Gluck.

No
Liles and Komisarek should have been bought out.

The correct play was doing that and not resigning Bozak. would have 2+ mill more available.
- senstroll

Keeping bozak at 4.25 is better than Grabs for another 4 years at 5.5

Plus keeping Bozak will keep us solid on the faceoffs, and make resigning Kessel easier.

I still think there's a market for Liles, it's just that a lot of team will be Richards about it because they know Nonis is squeezed

I keep seeing people saying Ranger is playing... isn't he only willing to play for the Marlies to stay close to home?

Don't get too fussy with the details now.

There is no statistical data showing Bozak and Kessel "working well together". you are talking out your ass if you believe that, and I dont care if they make a good xbox 360 team. Bozak wins 1 or 2 more draws a game than Grabovski. the limited stats show Kessel had better success in regards to production when with Grabovski.

My pref was to lose both of them and Sign a FA like Lecavalier, I am not a Grabvoski fan, but if you make me pick between him and Bozak its a no brainer.

Bye Fraser, or Franson, or somebody else, we hardly knew ye...unless it is Kulemin who is the longest remaining player on the team...whom we also hardly knew ye!
- AdamFrench

Crazy to think of how long Kuli's been around.

I really don't expect him to be resigned after next season, which would leave him where? at 6 seasons?

This guy knows the Marlies play in Toronto, right?

News to me - please explain. LA is eating part of Bernier's 2.9m cap hit?

Nope, we kept part of Frattin/scrivens $$

Dammit Nonis dont you realize leaf fans are impatient we wanted results yesterday gawd some people no respect for us leafs fans.

Because that's how trade happens:

1) Promote player "A" to another team's thread

2) Other team's fans get interested and start talking about it

3) A rumour site says it heard somewhere that player "A" might get traded to the other team.

4) NHL GM of other team notices the rumors and thinks about it.

Franson honestly can't seem to get any respect in this town

Well, number 1 is easy ...after that there's an argument to be made for any of the other 3 guys. But, yeah - that's how I'd rank them today.

Give me a full season of play from Franson and Gardiner and I'd hope they'd jump ahead of Gunnarson.

takes a hit to get the puck out and create and odd-man rush for Grabo? Is this supposed to be a negative clip or are you proving how valuable he is?

- markmark

They signed him to NHL one way deal.... yeah good chance he's playing.


If he's only willing to play of the Marlies to stay close, I'm sure moving to the ACC isn't going to bother him much in that regard.
