I've really only got only question regarding this trade- IS IT EVEN LEGAL? I know the rules are very unspecific in this regard, but as far as I can tell, any trade that has been made where cash has changed hands from one team to another, it went along with a player in order to offset a portion or all of a players salary. Forget the cap ramifications- This is a straight up purchase of a player. Are we going to allow this to become an acceptable means of obtaining players? I think it sets a very dangerous precedent to allow players to be traded straight up for cash and a few middle of the road prospects. The higher tier teams already have a huge advantage in making trades, signing free agents and giving big bonuses to prospects... now they're flat out allowed to purchase a player? I don't agree with this and I really think this needs to be looked at... but maybe that's just me.
