Ducks will go for him

If there are 15 teams interested, there should be one willing to give up a late draft pick for him instead of crossing their fingers come summer.

6.5 mil cap hit

only makes 2 a year

could see some low salary cap teams pick him up

florida got cap space etc

make a deal :<

He just exercised his NMC

gets more money, chooses where he wants to play

don't think he'd waive NMC to go to florida

yeah i guess, just saying that there are teams who probably would be interested

im not sure about briere though, if he just wants to play in a low preasure enviroment with top line minutes and no income tax (iirc, or very low) and beaches, he could go to florida :<

Not really. Those 15 teams are interested in getting briere between 3-4m max. I don't find it weird at all that there are 0 who want him at 6.5. Simple supply and demand.

This.


Just 'cause there are teams interested and his actual salary is low doesn't mean a trade is easy to do.


The teams that would be interested in a low salary / high cap-hit are probably ones he doesn't want to waive to.




There are likely 5 or less teams on his list and most/all of those probably can't handle a 6.5M cap-hit.

If you sign him for $3M-$4M you're actually paying him more. For small market teams like the Isles who don't need to worry about the cap, he'll be a perfect contract to take
