GOLDORAK Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Can someone explain why Elias' cap hit for '06-'07 is listed as $7.5M? (see TSN) I thought $42M divided by 7 years = $6M/year. Also, unconfirmed rumor from trolling around that Mogilny and a 2008 first round pick were traded for Rupp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Thanks for the Rupp info, interesting if true! Elias' contract is staggered not a straight 6 mill a year. It starts at 7.5 and goes down in incremental years. I forgot the entire setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 TSN is wrong. His salary for 06/07 is 7.5, his cap hit is the contract average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if your salary in a given year (year 1 being $7.5M) is greater than the per year average of the contract, then the higher of the two amounts apply? Or, does this mean that the cap hit in later years will be less than $6M per year? TSN is wrong. His salary for 06/07 is 7.5, his cap hit is the contract average. Thanks, Aylbert, I hope you're right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 No need to hope, aylbert is right! Interesting about the Rupp transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) TSN lists our payroll committments for the year, not the cap number. So TSN is right. And so is Aylbert on the cap number. The cap hit will always be $6M/year, even when he is only making $5M/year later in the contract. Edited July 8, 2006 by Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voros19 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 We didn't trade anything for Rupp. He wasn't given a qualifying offer, and was an UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) Mogilny and a first rounder for Rupp? That's not really plausible, given that Rupp was a UFA. Dammit Voros... that's what I get for posting about Rupp in two threads at the same time. Edited July 8, 2006 by insanity_gallops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'd trade Mogilny and a 1st for the rights to an UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDORAK Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Perhaps they are separate transactions The "source" said they heard it reported on ESPN radio about the Mogilny thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek21 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 ESPN is the source? That's how you know your leg's gettin' pulled. Was E.J. Hradek behind it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Succubus Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'd trade Mogilny and a 1st for the rights to an UFA. I'd trade Mogilny for a BAG OF PUCKS. And a pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
