Zhamnov Deal Limits B’s Cap Room

from the Boston Herald:

Injured center Alexei Zhamnov has LTI status, and his $4.1 million salary for this season is part of the Bruins’ salary cap calculation. But that money pushes the B’s salary cap limit from the league standard of $44 million to $48.1 million. The B’s now are at about $47.1 million.

But in LTI cases, the full-season value of a player’s contract counts. So even for 20 percent of the season, that $1 million player would cost you $1 million on the cap, not $200,000.
“So we’re in a position where we have approximately $1 million in LCI room,” said Chiarelli, who thus is shopping from a limited list.
