Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

•NJ clears off the 6M AAV Palat Deal from their books, which was absolutely awful since Day1.

•Grier unites Holtz/Eklund tandum for his SJ Sharks- a duo that dominated prior to both guys going Pro.
-Holtz has 1 ELC yr. remaining, so financially the deal is a wash.
•It is the following years that this trade gets tricky.
-Palat is barely worth $3.5M let alone $6M.
-Still, SJ may have easily landed an annual 30G sniper in Holtz, for 3yrs. of $2.5-3M more than Palat's worth, yet it will be during all rebuild years.
-For those reasons, SJ paid a small fee to NJ.
•This is clearly a trade NJ iniates, even though, it's a deal both Teams benefit.
-SJ gets the better bargain, & pay a 2nd rounder + an upgraded 5th Rd.

**P.S. to those who say SJ should pay more.... remember it's not like NJ is not doing nothing with the 6M from Palat + almost 1M from Holtz, then whatever he would cost next year on his extension. In a Cap League, a Money Matters, so The Devils gaining a nice chunk of change, as well as, a roster spot to alot that cap to a player who actually is deserving of the money Palat was getting paid will be a HUGE upgrade to NJ's lineup.
