Flames might have to give Cammy boatloads of cash just to reach the cap floor. In all honesty, I wouldn't be opposed to an overpayment on a 2 year deal.

A 2 year deal - kind of like a place holder, a caretaker of Moneyhand's money he'll be due when his ELC expires. This way at least you can't piss it away and have to low ball him and have a certain province rival put an offer sheet in on him.

Flames should overpay for mayray while theyre at it

I wonder if RJ would go to TO, because...

Wait. No. There isn't anyone I want who isn't named Reilly.

Nazem Kadri for Scott Hartnell!

Methinks the only way Kadri goes is if a guy like Simmonds is the return.

The initial post was more of a joke, but the way the Leafs are shopping him, who knows what they'd do

 

[IPostedWhat]

Did he flop again or something?

Could the Kings really buy out Mike Richards this summer? | Post-to-Post

EL SEGUNDO – When the Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup two years ago, Mike Richards played close to 20 minutes a game. This time around he’s barely playing 15. Richards star has indeed fallen in Hollywood, which has led to speculation that the Kings could use a compliance buyout on him even if they go on to win the Stanley Cup.

It’s a vexing dilemma for the Kings, who face having Richards and his $5.75 million salary cap hit on the books for each of the next six seasons. They could magically make that disappear with one stroke of a pen by buying him out this summer and if they don’t do it now, the opportunity to make that cap hit go away without a penalty will be lost forever.

If the Kings want to re-sign Marian Gaborik, who leads the playoffs in goals, it might be at the expense of Richards. But even beyond next season, the Kings are faced with Justin Williams and Jarret Stoll becoming unrestricted free agents after 2014-15 and Tyler Toffoli, Tanner Pearson and Jake Muzzin becoming unrestricted free agents in two summers. And looking even further ahead, Anze Kopitar has only two more years left on his deal. So the Kings are going to need some cap room, even if the salary cap goes up as revenues begin to climb.

I'd take Richards.

Wait, that will mean that Little Jeffy will want to come back.

No. Fuck Mike Richards.

Hope the Rangers get involved in trying to bring JVR here. Idk why they would want to keep Bozak over him?

I'll gladly take a flyer on bringing JVR here, hell, he grew up a Ranger fan in Jersey
