2probert4 8 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Burke said the Edmonton first won't be in play, but you never know what's truth and what's not with GM's talking trade. All Burke is doing is trying to drive the price up for anyone thats a threat to them repeating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Anaheim would NOT be able to afford to Jokinen. If they wanted to add him, they would have to get a guy like Todd Marchants salary off the books (or maybe even a bigger one) within a week of acquiring Jokinen. So basicaly, they'd have less than 2 days to acquire Jokinen AND trade Marchant in order to LEGALLY attain Jokinen. There is this thing in the CBA called "tagging room", which means you have to have a certain amount of cap space available on next years payroll before you add more salary to the present years payroll. If you go over the tagging space, you have 7 days to move salary. Jokinen would put them well over that, so theyd have to almost immediately move some substantial salary..and I cant see anyone biting on Marchants paycheck.. Aaah ok, didnt know about the next year thing. Was just thinking that since they couldve added Sundin, they could get Jokinen since they make the same money.

I thought i heard that it wasnt available for a rental, but since they cant afford Jokinen anyway i guess it doenst matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Trading for Hossa would be a plus IF you can sign him to a Contract Extention, He has stated he want s to become a FA at seasons end and test the waters, If you cant Sign Hossa long term as part of the deal I would not give up much for him, Realistically that would not happen, Just based on Hossa's value NOW But we shall see Link please.
