Man, and I thought the peso was in bad shape. In Mexico the contract would only be worth $148 million

Off-season allows you to go 10% over the cap. And if MB can land him, he is making moves to fall under the cap. Teams have until opening night to get beneath the cap. Lots of time to move pieces around.

unless he buys out an expensive player, how the hell do you expect MB to move a hefty contract? Other teams will undoubtedly outbid Montreal for Shipachev.
