I'm sure Pete will be accused of wearing "Lightning-colored glasses" but this is well-reasoned, folks. Soak it up.

Yandle is a fine offensive puck-mover but, though it wouldn't hurt TB to acquire him, the benefit would be, IMO, marginal as you'd be acquiring, in terms of skill-set and play, a better (how much so...

Not quite true. Yes, the contract is voided and the Lightning wouldn't be obligated to pay the real salary owed but they would, in fact, incur a cap penalty. The cap penalty would be a fraction of...

Ohlund is owed $6,750,000 in real salary for the next three seasons. If he decided to retire and thereby forego these payments, maybe accept a front-office job (as has been speculated), then that's a...

Having dabbled further, it turns out Capgeek has created a "recapture" calculator and, according to this tool, Tampa Bay would, in fact, incur a cap penalty for several seasons if Ohlund retired...

Re: Ohlund's cap hit not counting if he retires.

There is this common assumption (I admit having had it, too) which is baded on the terms of the previous CBA, that the cap hit of a player who voluntarily retires prior to the season he's signed...

First off, this isn't the NFL. Secondly, various buyout and trade scenarios have already been floated on this board. It's do-able, IF Vinik is willing to pay a player or two not to play for the...

Two other defensemen that that interest me as potential trade targets: Niklas Hjalmarsson (CHI) and Matt Niskanen (PIT).

Ryan Malone departing the organization in some fashion (trade or buyout) during the off-season is a really, really, really safe bet.

Nope (http://capgeek.com/buyout-calculator/?player_id=884&buyout_y=2013&buyout_m=06&buyout_d=15). 2/3 of $45 million is $30 million. So, $2,142,847 for the next 14 years.

Malone is owed $5,000,000 but TB would only have to pay 2/3 of the remaining salary. So, $3.333,333 to reclaim $4.5 million in cap space x 2 seasons.

Similarly, Brewer may be owed $7,000,000 but...
