Just updating, nothing major has happened ... yet
NHL minimum wage is $500,000( five hundred thousand ).
Roster is 23 players.
Expect some moves from the following teams.
Philadelphia now $2.5 over cap. 23 players signed.
Signed Zherdev to one year, $2.0.
UFAs Krajicek, Asham, among others, are unsigned.
RFA Powe is also unsigned.
To the best of my knowledge Gagne has not been moved yet.
Carter, RFA in his final year, does not have a clause.
Vancouver is just $0.35 over. 23 players signed.
Mason Raymond(RFA) still unsigned.
Chicago is $0.113 under the cap, but only have 15 players signed.
Niemi(RFA) remains unsigned.
Hawks matched the offer to Hjalmarsson. $3.5 per, four years.
Calgary is at $0.65 under. 22 signed.
RFAs Ian White and Brett Sutter remain unsigned.
Boston is about $1.7 under, but have 18 signed.
Wheeler(RFA) is unsigned.
Can they move Thomas and his $5.0 per for three more seasons ?
Pittsburgh is $2.17 under. 20 signed.
Looks like Ponikarovsky, Guerin, Fedotenko and McKee will move on.
Montreal is $4.7 under the cap. 20 players signed.
Their apparent number one goalie, Carey Price, remains unsigned.
Toronto is $1.1 under. 22 players signed.
Expect Kaberle to be traded, which would free up an additional $4.2 in cap room.
Could Finger be traded or more likely sent to Marlies, if moved at all ? If yes this could free up $3.5 under the cap.
Depending on who comes back if/when Kaberle is traded, these moves could mean the Leafs would have almost $10. mil in cap room and a roster of 20.
I am sure Burke is preping for a big trade, maybe that #1 center.
I used Capgeek for above numbers.
