The NHL has no say on what is done in the NBA corect???
So if Toronto wants to sign Pronger for 3 mill thats his option...
and if Pronger appears in an NBA game helping out the NHL can't do anything about it...

Can you find me were it states what you said previously, since I don't understand where to look for it. That compansation has nothing to do with the team correct?blitzkriegs said:

No offense, but your loophole attempts are kind of obvious and uncreative, frankly.

I posted this over on another board.
For example, let's say a team are trying to land a big name free-agent who is looking for roughly $5m a season. Unfortunately they only have $2.5m of space left under their cap, whereas a competing team has $4.5m. Would it be possible to do something like, offer the $2.5m and then have, let's say Gatorade, tack on an extra $2.5m in an endorsement offer in exchange for investing a certain amount in the endorsing company?

You can't just cut a player- this ain't the NFL. Contracts are guaranteed - you have to buy him out at 2/3's (or whatever is the buyout %-age in the new CBA).blah said:
For the transition period, teams will be able to do a buyout and have it not count against the cap, but they won't be able to resign him.
After that, any future buyouts will count against the cap, although likely spread out over time, just like the buyout terms of the last CBA - 2/3's of the amount left on the contract paid out over 2x the number of years left. In this case, there would be no reason they couldn't resign him.

You can't do that now - the no cap buyout window has a no resigning restriction.
Later, maybe. But what's to stop the player from taking the buyout, pocketing the $$$'s (2/3 of remaining salary), and then going to sign somewhere else for a lot more than the 1/3 - you buy him out, he becomes a UFA.
Unless your team is small market why would you worry? By the way it will be done and the big market wil be the ones to do it. How ? All under the table and using a third party to get it done. The league will have no power to stop it because they will have no proof of it being done.
The rich get richer and the rest will be forced out of the league. Anyway I for one am tired of all these SMALL TEAM crying and *itching they cannot compete. Either put up or get out.
