The Bryzgalov aspect and salary cap concerns seem to not have been an issue at all. There are a lot other guys that make sense to move for cap issues that if is their concern.

Whether or not he moved him because of other reasons, you're wrong when you say that Bryzgalov and salary cap concerns had nothing to do with it. Be disagreeable all you want, but salary cap concerns played a very large part in it, as cited by most reputable media involved (and it was mentioned that the deal with Bryzaglov was pending the completion of the EDM-CGY trade, if that didn't make it obvious enough.)
You're confused.
