That's making Boston pay that much more than they wanted to for the player, limiting their ability to spend money on other parts of the roster. <br /><br />Furthermore, you're neglecting the fact that Boston has less than 3M in cap room, as I recall. So if you offer sheet Kessel for say 3.5, Boston must either dump salary to match the sheet, or let you take a great young player for a bargain price. No reason that offer couldn't be successfully made.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-71636283686284451282009-07-06T17:24:36.610-04:002009-07-06T17:24:36.610-04:00unless your name is kevin lowe and you have a the ...unless your name is kevin lowe and you have a the math smarts (and talent judging ability) of your average 5 year-ol.aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155387401188892909noreply@blogger.com
