With regards to the penalties put in place with tail sliding contracts.
If I remember correctly, if a player retires before their contract completes, then somehow the team is "in debt" to the league for the cap space that was saved throughout the active period of the contract. I also seem to recall that it is the team that signed the player that takes the burden, not the team they retire with.
Is that correct? If Luongo retires after 2017-18 season, does Vancouver take a penalty? If so, how much cap over how long?
