Honestly I think he'd fall into salary cap oblivion at $3.5M. With the Oilers helping out (Thanks!) he's really only $1.5M into "that's unfortunate" territory.

Still wonder if he hangs them up after his bonus in July.

And something I didn't expect I'd think when the trade happened ... I'm kind of hoping he doesn't.
