Stafford is super easy to move at the TD...  UFA so you don't have to protect him with maybe $1.5 mill cap hit?  Chevy will get something for him.  Prob 2nd rounder.

 

$1.5 mill average. At that time of year, teams only have a fraction of the cap left.

Point is, you're going to have a difficult time including him in any Trouba without taking some salary dollar back, like an experienced LHD like I mentioned earlier.

The cap is the same - its for the whole season...  plus there's always injuries.

I could see a team like Pittsburgh trading for Staff for another run - anyway, we'll see.

I doubt that Pittsburgh will have the room given that they're at the cap right now. It would mean finding $1.5M in savings. That won't be easy unless a significant contract goes down injured for some time or if the Jets are willing to take on cap in return.  

If they could trade Fleury for a low paid goaltender that they could expose in the expansion draft. Unless they have one in the system, already?

I want to say the cap doesn't really apply in the playoffs plus the Jets could Could Could retain up to 50 percent of his contract... so staff at let's say 800 000 ? That's a pretty nice pickup for a team looking for some playoff help.
