C, Patrick Sharp, $8.3m (2012-2017) fat contract few teams can add as easily as FLA
C Andy Miele, $1.1m (2014-2016) buried in AHL, eating this
LTIR - Kimmo Timonen, $1.5m (2014-2017) might play, old guy at 40yo nxt mth
Minor Leaguer - D - Adam Clendening (2011: 2/36 - 0 Games)
TO
Lars Eller, $4.7m (2013-2016) need to send some cap back to Sens
LTIR - Matt Cooke, $2.4m (2012-2015) out for the yr, stays on LTIR
Minor Leaguer - C - Reid Boucher (2011: 4/99 - 0 Games) might get callup in spring
Cap savings: 3.8m
Few team can eat cap.
In this deal we're going to eat 3.8 plus the Miele contract which is another 1.1 for a total of close to 5.0m Florida will be eating in this trade.
Eller is younger than Sharp.
Both are good players with Lars moving into his prime and Patrick on the back-9 of his career.
Sharp's 8.3 cap hit is a huge pain in the a$$ but we want Clendening.
Timo might return. but even if he does make be too rusty at age 40 nxt mth to help at a cap hit of 1.5 til 2017.
Shipping Cooke off to shed some cap in this trade since he's out for the remainder of the yr.
Good back and forth with Dickie.
Sens to confirm.
