Michael Del Zotto will hit the open market on Tuesday. The Nashville Predators were unable to trade the defenceman ahead of the deadline to qualify restricted free agents and have decided to allow him to become an unrestricted free agent. The Predators acquired the 24-year-old in January from the New York Rangers in exchange for defenceman Kevin Klein. Del Zotto scored three goals and added 13 assists in 67 games with the Predators and Rangers this season. In 317 career NHL games, the left-handed shooting blueliner has scored 27 goals and 126 points. Del Zotto was drafted in the first round - 20th overall - by the Rangers in 2008.

That leaves New York with about $80 million to spend on the rest of its roster if the team wants to get under the 2014 tax threshold. Jeter and New York agreed Friday to a $12 million, one-year contract. Major League Baseball determined its value for purposes of the luxury tax is $12.81 million. The Yankees captain, injured for most of this year, was playing under a three-year contract with a player option for 2014 that wound up being worth $9.5 million and was replaced by the new salary. Baseballs luxury tax uses the average annual values of contracts as defined by the sports collective bargaining agreement. Determining Jeters payroll figure for the tax is complicated by the option and the new salary, and New York may contest his 2014 evaluation. The Yankees want to re-sign free agents Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Hiroki Kuroda, and need to fill roster holes after missing the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years. The team figures to be interested in free-agent pitchers and catcher Brian McCann. Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner has said getting under the $189 million tax threshold for 2014 is a hope but is not essential. "Its a goal that we have if its possible," general manager Brian Cashman said last month. "Theres a lot of benefits to staying under that, but its not a mandate if its at the expense of a championship run. It just depends on what the opportunities are before us, and the costs associated with it." New Yorks other signed players are Alex Rodriguez ($27.5 million), CC Sabathia ($24.4 million), Mark Teixeira ($22.dddddddddddd.5 million), Ichiro Suzuki ($6.5 million), Alfonso Soriano ($4 million) and Vernon Wells ($0). The impacts of Soriano and Wells on New Yorks luxury tax payroll were reduced because of cash being paid by their former clubs attributable to 2014. The Yankees will receive $18.6 million from the Los Angeles Angels as part of the acquisition of Wells last March and $13 million from the Chicago Cubs as a result of Julys deal for Soriano. Rodriguezs payroll impact for 2014 would drop to $2.5 million if arbitrator Fredric Horowitz upholds a 211-game suspension imposed on the third baseman by MLB for alleged violations of the sports drug agreement and labour contract. Rodriguez, who is contesting the discipline, has a $25 million salary for next year, and the Yankees would not have to pay him for any period he is suspended. Payrolls for the luxury tax include the entire 40-man roster and a 1-30th portion of the cost of benefits and extended benefits for all major leaguers. That category totals items such as health insurance premiums, pension payments, club medical costs and payroll, unemployment and Social Security taxes. The 2013 figure will not be completed until next month. For 2012, each teams payroll was assessed $10,779,500. New York has paid luxury tax for every season since the provision was put in place for 2003, a total of $224.56 million. The Yankees will pay again for 2013, when the threshold was $178 million. But there are large benefits if the Yankees get under the threshold in 2014. The teams tax rate would drop from its current 50 per cent to 17.5 per cent in 2015, and New York would be eligible to get back a portion of its revenue-sharing payments. ' ' '
