The statistical requirements are play at least 25 games. He'll make it.
So is the cap hit $4 million? Or $3 million? TG said $3 million including the bonuses.
Is it $4 million including bonuses?
For example, if the upper limit is $64,300,000, teams can exceed it by $4,822,500 in performance bonuses. Any performances bonuses in excess of that total do not fall into the cushion and are counted as part of the team's cap payroll.
Any performance bonuses actually earned at season's end (ie. for games played, awards, all-star teams, etc.) are then added to the team's final cap payroll. The catch with the cushion is that if the bonuses earned at year's end push the team past the upper limit, the overage is carried over as a penalty the following season.
I don't consider him a 6th defenseman at all. Though I would take him over Volchenkov at this point. He's a number 7 on most teams though, could be a number 6 on a depleted defensive corps.
I think he is the clear #7 whether we trade Volch or not. And he brings the add bonus of providing some fwd depth.
Though I would not mind him as a #6. From what I've seen he is a capable player.
Thank god. People overhyped him so much I feel. He is nothing special. I was annoyed by his return.

I liked his return cause he is a good number 7. Though he seems to be a pretty big Deboer favorite, and I just hope he isn't played constantly over a healthy Fayne and Larsson.

Feeling much better about this deal, 1 year for 3 mill is good. I thought he'd be taking a spot away from one of the kids but Sal and Volch are guaranteed to break down during the season. I just hope we run a different PP this year.
Don't know why Harrold get a lot of hate, he was pretty good during the cup run. He's really cheap and can spot fill in here and there, a good 7th D. I wonder how things will shake out with him or one of the kids getting to play.
By the way, love your avatar.
Haha thanks! Need to make a new one, Lou has been doing a great job this offseason.
Lou builds an arc?
That has potential.
Are we the only ones old enough to know your avy?
pretty much. Someone else commented on it in the Schneider thread so there's at least 3 of us who remember really bad television when it was only on 4 stations and not 400.

Harrold shouldn't play a single game over Larsson or Fayne. Volch and Zids should be the ones he rotates in for.
Zidlicky won't be rotated out. It's Fayne or Volchenkov and that's the way it should be.
i hate zid more than anybody here, and im completely ok with this contract. im even more ok with lou's implications of dumping a defenseman (28)
4 milly sucks. wtf lou
