from Kevin Allen at Mucking and Grinding,
The Red Wings are pressed up against the cap ceiling already, and here’s my take on what could be done to allow the Red Wings to sign all three players:
+ Detroit will have to put together a similar long-term, front-loaded deal with Hossa, only the cap number has to end up in the $5-$5.5 million range. You can still give Hossa $7 million per season for several years and still get down close to $5 million cap number as long as the last three years are similar to Zetterberg’s deal. In his contracts, Zetterberg earns $3.35 million,$1 million and $1 million in his last three seasons.
