From the link Esq provided;
We'd like to clarify a point from our previous tweet in which we refer to Berglund's contract termination as being "mutual", based on info we've received.

Contract termination is almost never mutual, in that the player is not required to sign-off on his own termination.
What if he agrees to sign-off? Does that not indicate both parties can move on?
That would be great, LOL

Mike Richards' cap recapture penalty was not reduced.

Twas the cost of a normal buyout that was reduced.

It's important to note that cap recapture penalties are never reduced or eliminated.

I corrected Rikster the other day when he said something similar about Kovalchuk's recapture penalty.

If a recapture-eligible player has his contract terminated or he retires (non-LTIR)

... the full recapture penalty is applied in all circumstances.

I defer to you, I assumed it was reduced because the cap hit is so low, but the Richards contract was pyramid shaped instead of front-loaded, which greatly reduced the cap recapture.

Yeah, if you look at the Richards contract, you'll see the math works:

https://www.capfriendly.com/players/mike-richards

Up until the termination in 2015-16 Kings benefited ~ $6.75M

... so penalty is $6.75M divided by the 5 years left on contract

... equals ~ $1.35M per year for 5 years.

If you go to the Kings page at capfriendly you'll see Kings get hit with that in this, year 5.

You'll also see the Termination penalty separated from the Recapture penalty.

And that the Termination penalty goes on and on and on.

Friedman had the two penalties combined in the link I gave in my previous post.

Got a tip trying to 100% verify but I'm being told
@NHLFlames have traded James Neal to @EdmontonOilers
for @27MilanLucic


. May be other players involved. If I'm wrong my apologies to Neal/Lucic and the teams..

Can confirm deal to send James Neal to Edm for Milan Lucic isn’t done yet, but is close.

Oilers would include a conditional draft pick and retain some of Lucic’s salary when its completed

This one is a head scratcher.

Neal has 4 years left at $5.75M. Looch has 4 years left at $6M.

Neal stands a better chance of keeping up with Edmonton's top-6 forwards in terms of speed, but that's about it.

I feel like Calgary is making out like gangbusters here. They get stronger, scarier (in the scrums), and are managing to get Edmonton to retain salary AND pay them a pick!

I thought Ken Holland was supposed to right the ship.....not take the final masthead below the waves with his first course correction.

I think the opposite, I wonder if Calpuck is having a meltdown acquiring the slower Lucic, while Neal has more rebound opportunity to score again.

I agree - this isn't a good deal for Calgary. There had better be more to it than just Lucic for Neal. Salary retention by Edmonton and a decent draft pick at least. Otherwise, Treliving has shit the bed on this one.

wouldn't it be ironic if Neal gets 60+ points.

Neal has little competition for a top six spot, he should do much better in Edmonton.
Calgary doesn’t need Lucic to be much more than a grinder, so that is better for him too.
Might be a good trade for both teams, but Lucic is more likely to bust because he is quite slow now.

Rumour: Neal for Lucic. Oilers retain 10% of Lucic salary.
Not confirmed, probable. Not enough, is it?
