I think you are confusing 2007 for 2008. I should have said 2006/2007 season.
Ok that makes sense but injury acceptions mean they aren't paying anything out. You can send guys down like NJ did with Mogilny, they dealt Malakhov to SJ and then they put him on the injured list therefore not costing anybody a dime. Look at the numbers with the amount of money teams have to spend and be honest how many are going to spend a lot.
