To Chicago:
Dave Bolland
To Arizona:
Marian Hossa
Dave Bolland is currently signed at a 5.5 AAV for one more season. He is paid 5.5 million actual dollars next season.
Marian Hossa is currently signed at a 5.275 AAV for 3 more seasons. He is paid 1 million actual dollars for those 3 seasons.
Both players can be (and have been) put on LTIR if the team wishes to remove their cap hit.
Basically, Arizona gets a similar cap hit, but pays less real money over 3 years than they would in one lump sum next season, which should make their owners happy.
Chicago only has to deal with the whole LTIR dance for one more season, rather 3 more, which gives them more flexibility in the off-season to actually make big moves (especially NEXT off-season, given some of the names that might be in play).
Somebody may have to add, let me know what if you think so.
