Eaves also reportedly had 10-12 teams interested in him. Friedman said yesterday it was pretty quiet on both Doan and Iginla, their prices might be lower.
A major reason Eaves was so desirable was that he had a $1 mil cap hit, which a lot of teams can easily fit into their available cap space.
A guy like Iginla requires much more salary cap gymnastics.
