Save on Cap Space?

[Habman]

Just a question. If montreal were to say get a top 6 winger! How much space would we save if we sent Picard and Eller and maybe one more young kid to the minors?

*Without* Spacek on LTIR, we have the #nhl #canadiens at $1.185m of cap space post-Sopel http://www.capgeek.com/tracker/team....ate=2011-02-24

So if Spacek moves to LTIR that gives us close to 5mil

and you can save about a 1mil 1.5 if you send two down

Spacek is done for the season according to Kypreos.

Actually, if Spacek moves to LTIR, the Habs will put Wiz under Spacek's cap hit compensation (one player cap per player on LTIR), instead of putting Wiz on the Markov LTI cap reserve, thus liberating Markov's 5,75 of cap hit. In the meantime a trade goes through, they will probably put Hamrlik under Markov's cap hit.

So essentially, we have little cap room left, but have Markov's space that can be used for one player.

I predicted one week ago that he'd go on the LTIR.
