Maple Leaf Shock Therapy
You could fix the Maple Leafs pretty quickly by doing this:
buying out. . .
Jason Blake for $1.25M cap hit for 8 years
Darcy Tucker for $1M cap hit for 6 years
Alex Ponikarovsky $833k cap hit for 4 years
Nik Antropov $716k for 2 years
Bryan McCabe $1.6M cap hit for 6 years
Pavel Kubina $1.66M cap hit for 4 years
Andrew Raycroft $1M cap hit for 2 years.
That's a total of a $5.8M cap hit for 2 years, decreasing to about $4m in years 3-4 to $1.7m in years 5-6, and $1.25m for years 7-8.
Next year's cap savings would be $23.7m, or, just over $3m per replacement, which means they could sign two star UFAs. How about Wojtek Wolski and Jay Bouwmeester?
