Pretty simple…Morrisonn (2.075 mill) and Kotalik (3.0 mill) go to Rochester, Hecht (3.525 mill) could be traded as could Boyes (4 mill). With 8 D-men on the roster and Rochester so close another D-men besides Morrisonn could be sent down so getting under the cap won’t be an issue.

Teams are allowed to exceed the salary cap for a portion of the summer. Otherwise some might be handcuffed even if they plan on buying players out/making a trade/etc.

How do you go over the cap by $4 mil?
