TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to Boston and Minnesota being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Boston and Minnesota had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out unless trade exceptions were used for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
