Vancouver and Edmonton say thanks but no thanks.

Loui Eriksson and Milan Lucic are **** but that's an overpayment just to get rid of their contracts. The best the Sens can get is one good asset.

The cost of getting rid of a bad contract is not a first-round pick, especially two in the top ten.

for 2 players who can not longer play in the NHL with 3-4 years left on their contract at 6m a year, yes it will be.

I wish my DATM had utilized cap space for the Sabres. He was too lazy to trade space for picks or prospects, instead before the start of the 2014 season he signed Matt Moulson, Brian Gionta, Andrej Meszaros and Cody McCormick to $25,000,000 for 5 years $12,750,000 for 3 years, $4,125,000 for 1 year $4,500,000 for 3 years, respectively. Prior to that gave up a 2nd for Josh Gorges who had 4 years remaining on a $3,900,000/year. So he gave up a second and wasted over $18,550,000 cap. To put this in perspective, if you are presuming EDM will give you 2 first for of $10,000,000 does $18,550,000 equate to 3 first round picks? I would speculate he could have received a first for the $25,000,000 space (Moulson), a couple of seconds, if not another 1st for $15,600,000 space (Gorges), another second at least for $12,50,000 (Gionta) and a third for $4,125,000 (Meszaros). Yet to this day there are many people who think he did a good job and should not have been fired.
