$1.075 is the maximum that can be sheltered without caphit. The remainder, DOES apply despite being buried.

But do, please, be more patronizing even in your error.

Not bothering with the rest.

Except, he is correct.

The portion of the salaries of both players that exceed $1.075 are both included in the team's salary cap regardless of which player is in the NHL. There is no savings if the player with a higher salary is sent down. That portion above $1.075 remains on their cap.
