Master Mind Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's what trading a player can do for ya. Open up cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_trevor16 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 yeah it should be illegal since Thomas is not playing........but of course with the Boston Owner as the chairman, the NHL can't block it, any other team do this and it will blocked......the NHL has proven once again how corrupt and bias they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 There are no examples because no GM's would bother because it would be shot down in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Look up Vladimir Malakhov. Was fairly well-known that he was going to retire, and because of his age, New Jersey would be stuck with the cap hit. So before he filed the papers, Jersey packaged him with a 1st round pick to San Jose for scrubs, just to offload his cap hit. I'm not really mad about this. In fact, Boston had the most dominant goalie in the league for the last few years, and rather than trading him for helpful pieces that could improve their team, they basically had to offload him for nothing. As a Bruin-hater, that makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 /\ Yeah - I didn't mean it was exactly the same, only that teams have messed around with "cap hit" trades before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
