I have a question with regards to the cap circumvention policy: how is New York trading for Tim Thomas to reach the cap floor not circumvention? It's been speculated that that is the only reason they made the move, or so I've read. They will be trying to move Visnovsky I guess. So how can acquiring a player who is not expected to play, they will not have to pay, just to use his cap hit to reach the floor not circumvention?
Well I certainly see it as circumvention as well, but I think the NHL and the NHLPA are probably much more lenient on cap circumvention regarding the cap floor as opposed to the ceiling.
