If Arizona wasn't paying Bolland or the newly aquired Hossa contract they would be below the salary cap floor or floating right near it.
They have traded for "insured" contracts a few times before so it's not like this is a new thing for them..
I'm just saying we have some weak NHL franchises and even though, as another poster mentioned, network deals drive a lot of the business I still feel it is a shame that the league, I love so dearly, is still somewhat broken.
