80 this is how i see it.
calder is at the end of his 2.9mil contract
williams has another year left worth 1.6
so 1/4 of calder's salary is about 325k
so they have 1.4 left under the cap
thus they can sign/trade for an additional 5.6mil in salary
so you make an about equal move in detroits view, but free up 1.6mil in cap space for free agents this summer in essentially cutting williams loose. wings will use this for their big holes that are potentially there from all their ufas.
all makes sense to me now. unless its part of leverage in another move. which im not going to be suprised by at all. thats the one thing ive come to enjoy in the "new nhl" the chess game that has been sent up in this cba that is so complex it takes 23923 candian lawyers or one slick ny lawyer (gary bettman joke) to figure out.
