Accepting Cap Dumps

On behalf of Jets fans everywhere...what would you need to take on Kulikov's contract? 1 year @ $4 333 333

Callahan absolutely, id rather not have darling unless something great is coming back. Atleast a guy like Callahan has value as a 4th liner as leadership but darling just soaks up money. Now if we can get one of those sweet dmen Carolina seems to have endless supplies of then maybe.

2nd probably, atleast Kulikov can sorta play

My thoughts exactly! Kulikov and a 2nd for a 7th or something like that.

I don't think there is any chance you get a 1st for one year of Callahan. As a Bruins fan I wouldn't give up more than a 2nd to get rid of Backes and his hit is for an extra year. He's a comparable player to Callahan as well; basically a 3rd / 4th liner now. The real money owed to Callahan is 4.7M dollars next season and Backes costs 5M over 2 years if traded after his bonus is paid out which makes them similar values. Most cap floor teams don't worry about the hit a player has, but they do worry about the actual money being paid to the player because it effects how much money the owner makes.
