Girardi for Bieksa and Despres
Anaheim saves 2.2 mil against the cap.
The Rangers can make it work cap-wise, as they'll have to trade or demote someone to fit the roster limit. Next summer, the Rangers can buy out both players if they want. Bieksa will only have 1 year left. Despres will have 4 years left, but he'll still be 25 as of July 1st, so his buyout is only 1/3rd.
There's no effect for expansion, as both Bieksa and Girardi have NMCs, though obviously they would both have to waive for the trade.
Does that clear enough money for Anaheim to get Lindholm signed?
We could also do Bieksa and Stoner, but then you're only saving 1.75 mil.
