Simply put, does a guy like say, Jeff O'Neill, deserve to get more than the amount of money needed to qualify him ($3.7 M)? No, not really. He had a terrible season, and is having surgery that could affect his play. Therefore, he probably would accept his qualifying offer.
Whereas, a guy like Raycroft has earned, by his good play, a sizeable pay increase.
Do you get what I'm saying? Someone who has had a weak season will probably take their qualifying offer and run. Someone who has had a good season will probably say no and ask for a nice raise.
Now, to just keep it simple, qualifying someone is just keeping their rights (so they don't become a free agent on June 20th). The GM may then decide to offer what they had to to qualify the guy, and I may or may not accept it. Got it?
Washington acquires delmore from Boston
In an attempt to improve a pathetic defense, the Washington Capital have traded their 6th round pick in this years draft to the Boston Bruins for Andy Delmore, and have signed him to a new 2 year, 2.4 m contract, worth 1.15 the first year, and 1.25 the second year.
The Capitals are hoping Delmore will return to the form he had in 2002-2003, when he led the Nashville Predators in defensive scoring.

Trade to Announce
To Cal:
29th overall
To Was:
Tom Poti
As mentioned earlier the Flames are set with top 4 of Regher-Leopold-Warrener-Phaneuf....Flames are also set to going strong after a unnamed defencemen as mentioned before...That will give them 5 quality Dmen, with Ference, Montador as 6th, 7th dmen. "We feel getting more first round draft picks will greater our chances of finding a gem."

The Blue jackets today dumped luke richardson and the rights to unsigned brian holzinger, who was going to be lost to free agency to washington for the 33rd overall pick in the draft.
The Blue Jackets will decide on a new captain immediately. Many people within the orginization have a good feeling who it may be, but the jackets have yet to reach a final decision...

The Anaheim Mighty Ducks have discovered one more free agent they have to sign.
Ducks signed Keith Carney to a 4 year, $8 million deal. Carney's option was for two years at around $6 million, but we declined, so he traded in $1 million more a year for long-term security.
Carney will be paid $2 million a year, except in year one(upcoming year) he will be paid only $1 million, while in the third year, he will receive $3 million.
Carney also has an option after year two, where he can be released to free agency. That's mainly the reason the $3 million is at year 3.

Approved.
I don't know about this... It's creative negotiating, but that's a significant pay decrease... Not approved... I assume you'll want even more to fire me now
Nice deal for you, IMO. Approved.
Carney made $2.6 million this year, I'm not 100% sure he'd take a paycut, unless you can find a link for me.

of course I'd wana fire ya now to....
.....for a backup, that shud be enuf with all the incentives...although since the DAMN COMMISH doesn't approve (i'm tellin ya folks, fire him before ot too late 
) I'll give him a 2 yr deal worth $2.4 million....Desibasha said:of course I'd wana fire ya now to....
Yikes...Turek goin' from 4.5 a year to 1.2 a year? I doubt his agent lets him do that.
monster_bertuzzi said:Yikes...Turek goin' from 4.5 a year to 1.2 a year? I doubt his agent lets him do that.
Agreed, his agent would never let him.
How about $2 million per year over 4 years? He ends up making virtually the same amount, just over a longer period of time. I believe that's known as "defering" salary.
he was to make all that money if he was STARTING....why wud a backup on his downside be making 8 million over 4 years???? 
Desibasha said:
Well the team you chose decided to offer him such money, so you're pretty much stuck with it, unless you can either dump him to another team or buy him out (pay two thirds of his salary).

Breaking news:
the Blue Jackets have acquired Ed Jovanovski in a blockbuster today, along with sniper Rico Fata and speedy Brandon Reid.
Rusty Klesla is on his way out, as is Andrew Cassels and a pick(2nd round) that was just acquired hours ago.
Klesla became expendable with the acquisition of Ryan Whitney earlier this month.
With no scouting staff, the Blue Jackets orginization decided to use their top pick in a trade, rather than risk making a drafting mistake(besides the aim is to win now, not 3 years down the road)
It was sad to see Cassels go, but he is injury prone and didnt produce last year.

I know, it sucks, but I think it's the only realistic way for you to get rid of him and at least you're not paying the whole financial freight.

Carney did make that much, but, he's in his mid-thirties, and I'd think he'd take a pay cut to have the security of being paid $2 million for 4 years. He has triplets, so I'm sure he doesn't want to move. If I give him a NTC, which would guarantee he doesn't leave unless he wants to, will that make is acceptable.

Buffalo - Detroit Trade seeking approval
The Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings have just completed a minor trade, which requires league approval. The Sabres, looking for help to make the playoffs this season, have traded away Ales Kotalik, Chris Drury, Dimitri Kalinin and their first round pick in 2004 to Detroit. Buffalo will pick up 50% of Drury's Salary this season.
In exchange, the Sabres are pleased to announce that they have acquired two key components to making the playoffs this season:
Center Pavel Datsyuk and Winger Henrik Zetterberg.
Datsyuk will center a line with Jochen Hecht and JP Dumont, while Zetterberg will join Daniel Briere and Miroslav Satan on the first line.
Buffalo's GM, Dwaynester, was asked for comment.
'You never like trading away quality players, and Kalinin will be a star in this league in the not too distant future, but we have to look at our fans. We would like a legitimate chance at the playoffs this season, and we feel this trade will aid us in that. Datsyuk is himself a rising star in the league, and Zetterberg, if healthy, will also make a positive contribution to our franchise. As for Drury, we hate to see him go, but there is a reason why he has been traded every year for the past 3 seasons now. His salary is large, and although we are paying 1/2 of it, it allows us the flexibility to obtain two quality forwards.'
Rumours out of Buffalo contend that another deal could be announced as early as today, involving a couple of prospects, and some picks changing hands.

I'm sorry Dwayne.... you got the short end here. Drury > Zetterberg, Kotalik is useless, and Kalinin + 1st > Datsyuk. It's party city in Detriot after this.

it may seem odd but i agree with flamestardevil....i totally won this deal because now i control the middle half of the draft with teh 13th, 15th and 18th picks this year. my team also got a Nikalas Lidstrom Clone in Dmitri Kalinin a great center who i will probably deal away now that hes making 2 million dollars a first and more importantly i get Kotalik who i see as a star in the making even though alot of people may disagree with me.
Sure i give up Dats and Zetterberg but getting Kalinin back is huge for my team as i now have an excellent young defensive core: With Fahey,Fischer,Backman and now Kalinin. thats a pretty good top 4
and i can pretty much assume to get at least one if not 2 of Green,O'neill,Valbaik,Thelen to add to my system and i think i have done a good job of rebuilding the Redwings
