A player's cap hit goes down by a certain amount each day so that when you acquire a player like Paul Kariya you're not taking on the entire $6,000,000. For example, what the Kings would have to pickup if they got him today (January 14) would be $2,735,751.
You get that number by looking at the Remaining Salary column for Paul Kariya after you click on the link for the St. Louis Blues.

It would be uber cool if they had drag and drop abilities there.

12 midnight Friday, Feb. 12th (Saturday morning). Ends 12 midnight Sunday Feb 28th (Sunday morning) (Both Times Eastern)
The deadline for the 2009–10 NHL season is set for March 3 at AT Noon PST.
That essentially means that we're going to see deals done 2 weeks from Saturday (And the team receiving the players pays their salaries during the Break) or the deals wait until the Olympics are over.
The GM's will likely spend quite a bit of time during the Olympics hammering out the deals they have, and then beginning Sunday the 28th, there will be 3 days of "Get er Done".
