Hey, if you're trying to get under the cap, squeezing guys for $250,000-$500,000 less is hugely valuable. But when you do that, you have to be fine with dealing with the consequences.


They gave Jarome Iginla a full no-move, which kept his cap hit down. That's fine, but then you have to be fine with him having a stance on where he ends up (e.g., Pittsburgh over Boston).
