Here's a question just out of curiousity. Couldn't we sign Kovalchuk or Volchenkov and then just pay them a couple mil the first year but then the second year basically give them Lidstrom's contract? So say it was like a 4 year 23 million dollar deal.

First year - 2.5 million

Second year - 6.8 million

Third year - 6.8 million

Fourth year - 6.8 million

I'm not saying we should, I'm just wondering if it would even be feasible to do something like that

not possible, because the cap hit would be the average of the salary over the term...

Military?

Actually, I teach English. But it's only because the job market blows in America for recent grads now and I don't have to pay taxes here.

Look on the brightside, you could probably show up to any drop in there and look like Pavel Datsyuk.

Haven't been asked if I was a hockey player yet, but have been asked multiple times if I play basketball :P

No, Salary is pro-rated and is averaged out. The cap hit for that contract would be $5.75.

Add the 4 years up, divide by 4 and then you get the cap hit which is way too much for Det to eat! Unless you mean one year deal and then a three year deal?
