4 millions isnt that cheap and it equals paying emelin for Savard but emelin is playing so it didnt affect their cap hit.
Honnestly, i am thinking for the devils D-man solution about 3 weeks now and my first was : yohan autivu (but hell need a ahl season) Second : Russel.. but devils are not ahead in that race ... sadly Third : Gryba, cheap physical and right handed.. but emelin is better and their like almost not paying him. Best trade possible for the devils</i></div></div>

Sorry bud I don't think you understand.

Emelin is being paid 4.2 and 4.4M a season for the next 2 seasons but his cap hit is 4.1M
Savard is being paid 575K for onyl this next season but his cap hit is 4M. The thing is his contract is insurable so NJ only pays like 15% to Savard, the insurance company pays the rest. PLUS Savard goes on LTIR so if the Devils needed the cap space (they dont) that 4M wouldn't count against their cap.

Emelin is an ok dman but no way NJ gifts us Savard's contract for 2 more years of Emelin. Gryba or someone else could replace Emelin at much less cost.</i></div></div>

The cap hit is counting other wise, injured player won't be a problem for a team, go see any teams with the players on injured reserved cap hit are counting. Plus go on the site, click cba and click after on LITR, it explained clearly the cap situation

I totally know that. The cap hit is still counting when a player is on Long term injury reserve and Savard is counting for 4.02 millions, but the team is only paying 575 m and the assurance the rest, well like you explain real well tho, so at the finals emelin is only 200 000$ more on the cap hit

Devils have the money to pay emelin btw

I understand your point but I was talking on the cap hit situation of both teams

i was thinking about that trade as a trade dead line deal if they are only fighting for a wild card spot but you're right on the fact that it didnt improve the wild at the beginning of the season !

Well mr born to be GM, you really are lacking in the powers of observation, as Clarkson was hurt, is hurt, and will always be hurt. When the wind blows, he hurts. All he is good for is collecting a big fat paycheck. I guarantee you he will not make it through training camp without some injury, illness, or his monthly cramps./quote]

Still you can't put it on LTIR... i know that clarkson just want the money but you still cant do this and it is not against you, im only trying to explain to you that it has to be a big injury to be on the Long term injury list</i></div></div></i></div></div>
