okay, this is the first, and I mean the very first instance where I've seen a Marleau move that makes any sense. Rangers ditch a contract they don't want, get a couple picks in return, and Marleau gets a more competitive team to play for. Interesting stuff.
I still think there's a chance the league shuts this down. I get the feeling they weren't happy with the Orpik stuff, and viewed it as cap circumvention. There is a precedent for them saying, "enough is enough, this isn't against the rules, but we're not allowing it." (Kovalchuk).
