I'm taking this game of Pick A Devil and making it just a bit more serious.
Info brought to you by TSN:
Martin Brodeur - $5,237,238
Brian Rafalski - $4.2 million
Patrik Elias - $4.18 million
John Madden - $3,861,561
Vladimir Malakhov - $3.6 million
Alexander Mogilny - $3.5 million
Jeff Friesen - $2.28 million
Scott Gomez - $2.2 million
Dan McGillis - $2.2 million
Viktor Kozlov - $1.746 million
Colin White - $1.71 million
Jamie Langenbrunner - $1,655,130
Sergei Brylin - $1.52 million
Richard Matvichuk - $1.368 million
These are the top money makers for New Jersey.
Their cap is currently $43,748,929.
Obviously a trade like Bonk for Friesan doesn't work because the salaries are too close. So what's a fair trade for both teams, but lowers the Devils overall salary?
You don't have to knock them all the way down to below the cap, and certainly don't knock us over ours.
