Yep, the Lin inside that article begins to tell how fucked up the cap situation is
These flashy, long term, overpaid contract, and not building are staring to catch up
Mickstix:
Especially when guys start getting hurt (cough) Oshie (cough) and the GM can't unload them.. I guess it's Niskanens turn, but not sure anyone will take that salary for his age, even healthy..

Trading Nisky would be moronic. Hate to say it, but he’s our most complete Dman, particularly if we can’t be sure Kempy will be 100%.
But, for two years left on a 5mil contract several teams would take him, but not for what we need to replace him.

Caps acquire Radko Gudas from Flyers for Matt Niskanen:
*After they retain some of Gudas salary, it looks like we clear around 2.5-3 mill in cap space, if my math is right. (it's early, only 1 cup of coffee, so don't hold me to it)
