Solving the Detroit Red Wings' Salary-Cap Problems

Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland knows that he has some work to do to ensure that his team is compliant with the NHL salary cap.

Last week, Holland told MLive.com’s Brendan Savage that even after allowing for long-term injured reserve (LTIR) exemptions for players such as Johan Franzen and Joe Vitale, his team will be over the CBA-mandated $73.0 million upper limit.

“I think realistically, when it's all said and done, we're probably a little over the cap,” Holland said.
