4 teams had 8.7 mill in spaceActually i don't think anybody is jealous , we are one of the few teams (maybe the only 1?) that can take his cap hit for two years without directly affecting our plans whatsoever. The whole basis of the trade is that we don't care to burn 9 million on this guy mid rebuild. No contending team was touching this as it might directly impact spending in other places which is not our case.
Utah, Anaheim, SJS, and Calgary.
A lot of low revenue teams trying to minimize payroll, and then Utah. Utah presumably decided to pass.
Maybe if chicago passed on some free agents but I really like what they did in terms of building a legit veteran dcore to shelter Vlasic and Korchinski, and the adds of Teuvo and Bertuzzi without giving too much term.
They also made their similar move last year with the Taylor Hall trade tbh, and took on mikheyev as a dump as well.
