na

I was really surprised because they already took on Datsyuk for salary? Did they really need more?

They don't need it to reach the cap floor, but clearly they don't feel like they need the space, and Lawson Crouse at 11th overall for a second and an extra 3rd round pick seems like a pretty good deal for Arizona.

Also, it's a conditional second. If Crouse doesn't make the NHL this year, then it becomes a third.

Datsyuk is only for a year, Bolland is for three. They might not have needed it but it's probably not going to hurt them too bad since their young stars don't get their big boy contracts for a couple more years.

Also if Bolland doesn't actually play Florida is paying like 1/3 of his salary.

What do you mean?

DA, I'm assuming there's a clause in the trade that says Florida retains a third of Bolland's salary if he doesn't play?

AYRT

I haven't seen that anywhere, which is why I'm asking. The Sportsnet article made a point of saying there was no salary retained. The closest I've seen is someone saying that the insurance company would end up paying most of his salary if he doesn't play, so that Arizona would be not be out as much in actual dollars. Although I assume the insurance policy he'd be covered by at the time of injury would be Florida's so maybe that's what the anon was referring to.

Original nonnie here. I was wrong. I read this tweet and swapped Florida and Arizona in this tweet.

If David Bolland is not healthy to play then @ArizonaCoyotes will pay $3,300,000 $1,100,000 per year or 20% of the contract in hard costs.

Plus, they still have HOFer Chris Pronger.
