The cap space is HUGE. It's clear we are making another deal, or should. Dion was CLEARLY an issue in the locker room and I for one am SO happy he's gone. I hated cheering for him, and this makes it even easier to hate Toronto. Good riddance.
Proof that NOBODY is above the crest on the jersey. People forget this is a TEAM game, and you can't have brutal personalities in the dressing room. I'm excited, and we will be a better team because of this deal notwithstanding Dion is completely overrated by almost everybody on this website. To me the biggest downside is the inclusion of Aulie.
Awesome day for Calgary.

The cap space we gained right now is $600k. Nothing that is really going to help us.
The cap space next year will be eaten up when we either re-sign or replace Stajan, Bourque, White (RFA) and Jokinen.... it will be used to maintain the status quo and isn't going to be magic beans.
