Cap Sheets updated

[Defensewins]

Matt Bowen $2.4M salary but only $400K release fee.
Brandon Noble $2.6M salary but only $930K release fee.
Cory Raymer $1.1M salary but only $133K release fee.

The first two are logical cap saving cuts, they are as good as gone. Cory is most likely gone, but Buges may lobby to keep him.

Does the entire release fee have to go on that year's cap (dead money) or can it be strung over multiple years like a bonus?

I think it's a one year thing. From Canuck's notes:

2. ReleaseFees - lists each player's cap hit, followed by his "release fee" in that given year. The release fee represents the amount of dead money that would be incurred by releasing/trading the player prior to the year in question (before June 1st).

Does Buges like him that much? I would classify cutting Raymer not as "logical", or "super-logical", but as "super-duper-logical".
