Mike Heika recently held a chat to talk all things Dallas Stars. Here are some highlights:
Question: If the Stars could trade Kari or Antti, would they have to eat some salary? I'm not sure if the NHL salary cap works that way or not. Would that be possible?
Heika: The guess is they would have to eat the maximum allowed, which is 50 percent.
Jim Nill doesn't feel that way, which is one of the reasons he is being patient. I believe his thinking is that if either or both goalies play well, and their contracts start to decrease this season, they will become easier to trade.
