CapGeek: The Bruins will be hit with an estimated $4.5 million bonus overage penalty next season. $3.7 million may come from Jarome Iginla’s bonuses. He didn’t collect $250,000 for not making the Stanley Cup Final, and another $250,000 for not making the third round. Torey Krug, Dougie Hamilton and some others will also collect bonuses that will come off the Bruins cap next year. Other teams will have bonus overage penalties, but the Bruins was the biggest. More will be known late next month.
CapGeek: Red Wings Daniel Alfredsson hit all of his bonuses and will get the full $2 million. The Wings were a cap team and most will carry over.
Pierre LeBrun: Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said that Matt Beleskey won’t be available for Game 7.
