There projected cap space is in the 5 figures...highest payroll in the league.

So essentially this cannot happen. You would have to trade half the team just to balance it out!! Something along the lines of:

To Vancouver: Rick Nash (7.8)
To Colombus: David Booth (4.25) OR Keith Ballard (4.2), Mason Raymond (2.55), Cory Schneider (900k), 1st round pick OR Cody Hodgson (1.66)

Sounds like a step backwards to me...

And why are they highlighting Chris Tanev?? Hes a nobody..and relatively worthless trade chip.

Wait a minute .. hold on. So you're saying in a salary cap league, a team with two $6.1 million forwards (who they will never get rid of), a goalie making $5.3 million for the next 40 years (who they will never be ABLE to get rid of), a forward making $5 million, and three dmen making $4.5+ million .. CANT add another player making $7.8 million?

Huh. What wonders never cease.
