Chiarelli is getting all this crap in other threads for this problem. He went for it last year - didn't work out. If he didn't go for it, we'd be whining about that.
And this is absolutely true.

No, nothing is happening, just another solution to get Lou's roster cap compliant (or any move to get cap compliant)
-Send Hamilton and leave Knight in the AHL on the last day of training camp.
-Sign Krug to your $2.95 million contract.
-Leaves you 1 player short for the 20 man roster
-Sign Smith to a 1 year $1,035,025 deal (with an agreement with Smith) puts you at the 20 man roster
-Smith's contract gets rejected by the league because it puts Bruins $1 over the cap
-Bruins have 3 days to work out a new deal while Smith remains on the roster, has full benefits of a signed player and can play until a new deal is reached.
-Day 1, LTIR Savard, recall Hamilton/Knight and sign Smith to his $2.95 million
-Voila - cap compliant
An argument can be made that they simply erred in rounding up the contracts. Contracts signed under the old CBA were rounded to the nearest dollar, under the current deal they are rounded up
but wouldn't the league hammer them if after they became cap compliant, they offered smith like 2 million more than the original deal?
McKenzie: "I think you're going to see the Boston Bruins trade Johnny Boychuk, more than likely." Others possible tho.
