from Spector’s Blog at Fox Sports,
The NHL’s salary cap for next season is expected to remain close to last season’s cap limit of $56.7 million, which could seriously handicap the off-season plans of several clubs that have already committed a lot of coin toward next season’s payroll.
Speculation suggests the following teams could attempt to move some high-salaried players to free up that valuable cap space:
-The Philadelphia Flyers are currently sitting just under $50 million for next season and are rumored shopping Daniel Briere, who has a no-movement clause, an injury history, and a cap hit of $6.5 million per season until the end of the 2014-15 season.
-The Chicago Blackhawks have been rumored (mainly coming from rumor blogs so take with a grain of salt) to be unhappy with defenseman Brian Campbell’s performance and would like to move him, his limited no-trade clause and his $7.145 million per season until 2015-16 off their books.
