Cap Info

Maybe I am slow on this, but I just figuered this out. If you go to nhlnumbers and check out the Bruins salary data, it says the team is on the hook for guys like Stastny and Jurcina, well that cap number is how much of the salary the Bruins paid for, and thus counts against their cap. So when the Bruins trade a 2 million dollar contract, they don't count off 2 million the cap, but the rest of the deal. Ratio wise, it is like dumping 2 million, because they can go get another 2 million guy.
