How can Philly possibly...

[RadioGaGa 162]

TSN has them listed at 33.7 Mil with 5 undisclosed salaries, and they added 4 more today.

If all 9 of those are league minimum that's another 4.05 Mil.

$33.7 + 4.05 = $37.75 Mil......Hmmmm

thoughts???

It's pretty simple, these guys will be in the AHL and those salaries don't count against the cap.

I thought the listing TSN had was for 1 way or NHL salaries only.

Makes sence.

[EDIT] Woohoo 1,000 posts...didn't someone promise me a roll of tape or something.

It's a slow day and a couple of the names are somewhat recognizable. Chouinard played well a couple of years ago when he played for Philly. He's a good skater and I'm surprised he didn't have any other offers.

37.75M isn't the cap 39M?

[Chadd 916]

Choiunard is $450k

My favorite quote from the Minnesota Wild board about the loss of Eric Choiunard:

" We're going to miss his non-physical play and his non-scoring ability..."

When Minnesota Wild fans think you aren't good enough for their team, ouch!

37.75M isn't the cap 39M?

That was assuming that all 9 of those signings were league minimum. I'm sure some are more than $450,000

Kinda of a moot (sp?) point after Chadd pointed out the AHL thing.

I think they'll go with a 23 man roster, so those guys may be in the AHL, but they will be floating around the cap the whole season. Richards and Carter will both be around 800,000 + a year.
