I guess maybe you could get him at a very short term deal???





Would you want to?

The Caps won't pay Lundqvist anything like the salary he was getting previously.  Maybe a couple million.  These guys that are bought out get the majority of their remaining salary - teams do it for the salary cap relief.  Then they sign at a lower rate somewhere else (because the reason they are bought out is because of slippage/subpar performance), but their total compensation remains comparable to what they were receiving previously.

welp, Holts is gone. I can't say I'm too upset, he clearly wasn't the same without Korn.

as a result, we get veteran backup ...

richkrt99:
Holtby took a $2million pay cut to sign a 2 year deal in Free Agency?  WTF?
$4.3m for Holtby on a short term deal (2 years) is a steal for Vancouver.  Who the F is Holtby's agent?  This is the best he could get for Holtby?


I mean last year were were talking like he would fetch twice this.

Mickstix:
I thought the 8.6 mil was per year.. :huh:  4.3 x 2?? That's not really what I was expecting for a Vezina/Stanley Cup winning goalie.. He must of really wanted out or the Caps really -wanted- him out.

alta:
the Hens have shed more payroll...

 :huh:

this makes no sense to me...

"The 30-year-old defenseman recorded three goals, 12 points, and a -13 rating in 46 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins last season. In 482 career games with the Penguins and Edmonton Oilers, Schultz has recorded 50 goals, 214 points, and a -35 rating."

in fact, this looks like a really bad move. As I've said before, I don't expect a lot of goals from a good defenseman, but that career minus 35 coming from two very recient Cup winning seasons in shitsburgh is atrocious
