My goals for next year for ACGMs quit trading Horton. He has no affect on the Leafs cap next year. And no team is going pay 5.3m out of pocket. Hardly the way to get to the cap floor.
As a Leaf, I wouldn't make that Florida. Leafs need inexpensive assets to play in the NHL like Liljegren and Woll. Want cap space...trade Nylander for young assets.
Hossa wasn't to traded to reach the cap floor. They are well above the cap floor, There are reasons that Arizona accepts Datsyuk and Hossa to their cap. It is not benefit Arizona. Even Hossa wouldn't affect the Hawks cap...as long as he stayed on LTIR.
