What I want to know is what kind of rollback is associated with this? If $35M is the ultimate highend cap it could cripple a handful of teams (Philly, Detroit, Leafs, Colorado) and there is no way those owners would go for it.
I did the math in the trade forum and Detroit is sitting at $32M (post 24% rollback) committed to 15 players without their young core accounted for (Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Kronwall, Hudler, Grigorenko, a 2nd goalie, etc...). No way Ilitch agrees to this, loses his young core, and returns the Wings to the Dead Wings era of the 70's and 80's. No way.
