Aren't they in cap purgatory as well since the new Toews and Kane deals kick in this year?cshea said:

They're taking on north of $5 million in the deal, so at the moment they have less than $2 million in cap space. Didn't move salary out, return was meh. Dano is a nice piece but Anisimov is meh, and makes $3.3 million.
Anywho, Bieksa to Anaheim for a 2.

Yeah very weird move for Chicago. That's a case where I'd say you'd rather take any offer sheet in that $6m range, as it wouldn't include Anisimov's $3.3m (unless they think they can find a taker with assets coming back for him).
Wings buy out Stephen Weiss - he would be a very interesting option for the B's if they can move Kelly IMO. Cap hits:

TMZ is reporting that Mike Richards' border crossing incident involved him carrying oxycodone. http://www.tmz.com/2015/06/30/nhls-mike-richards-nhl-notified-about-oxycodone-drama-at-canadian-border/ …
Our sources say Richards was stopped while crossing from the United States into Canada on June 17th ... and we're told he was questioned about oxycodone pills, a powerful painkiller.
For the record, Richards has NOT been charged with a crime.

If this is anywhere close to being the issue, the guy could be in serious trouble, and I mean that both legally and from a personal safety point of view. What I'm not too sure about is how this constitutes a material breach of his contract. It's the off-season. He didn't miss a game or a practice. Obviously, still a lot to learn about the details of the matter.The Napkin said:
Maybe they think Richards is out the door/wouldn't accept another 1 year, $2m-type deal and they prefer at least one Handzus-type player as 2C/3C (presumably Teravainen grows into 2C)
