LittleBallofHate Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 From Puck Daddy: Hossa has a hit of $5.275 million against the cap through 2021, thanks to the 12-year deal that started in 2009. Please note that his base salary dropped from $4 million last season to $1 million in 2017-18, and then it’s $1 million annually through the end of his contract, which is an amazing coincidence when said player suddenly steps away from hockey, isn’t it? (deep, cynical sigh) If Hossa had retired, the cap recapture penalty would be $3.675 million of dead space on the Blackhawks’ cap through 2020-21. https://sports.yahoo.com/marian-hossa-sickening-blackhawks-salary-cap-escape-165030318.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
