how does Brown's bonus count if we buy him out too?


No option to buy him out. It was a one-year deal, so he cost the league minimum against this year's cap, and then $3.225MM next year no matter what (after he'd suited up in 10 games). It's an amazing farewell gift from Holland to his successor and especially galling given that Holland's big excuse about why they haven't been able to get over the hump is that he expected cap increases that didn't come. Now there actually is an increase, and he's spent it for us a year early.

So next year, no Holland, no Brown and virtually no cap increase.

Oh yeah, and probably collateral damage from needing to do something to flush the Campbell deal. They should probably strip Old Dutch of his Hall of Fame status for how badly he @#$%ed things up here.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
