When a team is as far over the cap as the Bolts will be this year, one will never know how low they will be forced to take for better players.
while I think Cirelli is not a player that they will be looking to move, teams with lots of cap space may be able to pick up some bargain basement bargains.
Does any one remember when Nick Leddy was traded to New York Islanders for Ville Pokka, Anders Nilsson and T.J. Brennan? Leddy for 2 minor leaguers and back up GK?
The trade came just before the start of the season and the Hawks were forced to get below the cap ceiling.
Just one more of my editorials:
I wonder what DATM was doing? He certainly was not on the phone looking for bargains. Oh yes, he took the lazy man method and signed Moulson to a five year $5,000,000, Gionta to a three year $4,250,000, Meszaros to a one year$4,125,000 contracts instead of looking for bargains.
Yet there still are people in Buffalo who think he did a good job.
Since Leddy was a free agent at the end of that year I am sure he could have brought in several really good draft picks, or, imagine him backing up Dahlin on the left side?
One may say the Sabres do not finish last with Leddy.
Well they also would not have had Moulson, Gionta, Meszaros and Gorges.
If they had kept Ristolainen in the minors and traded Stewart to the Bruins in October as Chiarelli wanted, then subtract their names as well and I think it is easy to see it is an AHL team.
