2.45 million against the cap for the next 6 years (you half the caphit and double the years).

I think that would be a horrible move. Especially since he's not taking a spot from a more productive prospect. trade him or play him on the 3rd line.

Ouch....completely agree. Buying him out would be dumb.

I think at some point he will ask for a trade which would be the best outcome for both sides.

...

Not quite. He would be paid 2/3rds of his remaining salary over double the term, which works out to $1.78m/year. Then you subtract that amount from his contracted salary for each year, then subtract the result from his cap hit for each year. So his cap hit would be:

$678k the first two years, $2.68m the third, then $1.78m for three.

Still better to trade him, but not too bad really since we can probably count on the cap going up as well as having a number of cheap kids. If we wait a year, it would be $1.4, 3.4, 2.5, and 2.5.

Ah, I must have read the rules incorrectly at some point. Thanks for clearing it up.
