10M and need for a top 6 forward and top 4 d-man

Jets need cap. One year rental LHD Kulivov and 2 years of LW/C Perrault might be had really cheap. Kulivov might not be top 4, but handy enough to transition till next year.

Hey, if there's a couple picks and a prospect coming with them, by all means i'd do it.

Jets, Lightning, Leafs, maybe even Vegas, Sharks and Flames may have to dump some cap of competent NHLers to have the 23 that they want. It's going to be crowded "cap dump" market. You're right, teams might have add sweeteners.

Only for real cap dumps. Miller is a real cap dump, a healthy scratch making almost 4 million. Or Callahan in Tampa, a 4th liner making over 5 million. For the Leafs they can move high value guys like Kapanen or guys like Brown who have value and will get a fair return. Bargain guys are guys that make too much for what the offer.

I don't mind. I think we need short term guys to let Suzuki, Poehling and Brook play in the AHL for a year.
