Carolina gets Teurvo Teravainen in exchange for a 2nd, a 3rd, and taking on Bryan Bickell's contract, which has one year left. Teurvo is 21 and still on his entry level contract. Nice get.

Las Vegas must select one player from each of the existing 30 teams, including at least 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goalies. It must select a minimum of 20 players who have existing contracts that carry through the 2017-18 season and the average annual value of the total contracts it takes on must be at least 60 percent of the 2016-17 season salary-cap limit, which is $73 million.
The earliest Las Vegas can buy out any of the contracts it takes on is the summer of 2018.
The existing 30 teams will have the option to protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie, or eight skaters regardless of position and one goalie, from the expansion draft.
salary cap set at $73 million for the upcoming year. Sabres at $50 million. Ya i think they can meet the Stamkos contract.
on another note, who is going to sign eric staal right now for anything over 5 million per? i wonder what kind of crazy number he is going to demand on July 1
Great, still have to live with the Canadians trying to poach Carolina. Fantastic. Go fuck yourself, Quebec.
