I was thinking about the idea of Smith being paid by AZ to play for Calgary. Since it’s Saturday and, well, no hockey, I started looking on Cap Friendly and seeing what teams were paying players to play elsewhere and also how much $ they had buried.
While I didn’t use any type of scientific approach or did I truly calculate the total dollars held it was interesting to see some of the retained salary and the term some teams are still responsible for.
In my estimate Arizona and Edmonton lead the pack. Roughly $5m each
Toronto might be the real winner (loser) when you take into consideration their mischievous LTIR deals (I forgot they still pay Kessel $1.2m to win cups with Pittsburg).
I thought it might inspire some conversation on a boring night
