That's the salary cap. If you guys are defining "core" guys as guys who you would always keep and can never move I think that definition is pointless.

As for us, 7 core guys isn't a problem because some of them are making less than 4 million (Ferland, Bouma, Backlund, Bennett atm.)
You just questioned why I said 7 "core" guys would give you cap problems and then said cap troubles were why Chicago moved "core" guys.
