Same here. Shore appears to be a bottom 3 guy at best, Gaborik is pretty much finished at this point, Phaneuf is worse than ever, and Nate Thompson also sucks.
Gaborik has 3 years left at a $4.875M cap hit
Phaneuf has 3 years left at a $7M cap hit. He has $18.5M left on that deal salary wise, so 75% of that is $14.0625M. Over 3 years that cap hit is $4.69M. Ottawa eats the remaining 25%, or $4.6875M. Over 3 years that cap hit is $1.5625M
Add that to the Gaborik contract we have, and Ottawa ends up with $6.44M in cap hits
So, Gaborik and $6.44M in cap hits over the next 3 years for the Senators
And
Phaneuf and $4.69M in cap hits over the next 3 years for LA
Looks like to me, LA made some cap room
