CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Whoever takes over as the Penguins' general manager has a mess to clean up in regards to the salary cap.
Some fixes are harder than others.
One that is nearly impossible is what to do about Jeff Carter and his contract that has one year left at a $3.125 million cap hit.
Carter's contract has a full no-movement clause, which means he can't be traded or waived and sent down to the minors without his consent. His contract is also front-loaded in its salary structure, which makes it a true 35+ contract.
