I was going treat do roster management separately, but it strongly affects cap management, and visa versa. The numbers show us with (hypothetically) under
Chevy may want to pluck somebody off the waiver wire (again ), so that's cutting it a bit thin. Besides, we'll run into injuries, so we'll have to call up guys from St. John's. And we do have to cut the roster down to 23. If things get tight in the cap and/or roster-slot situation, our options for sending people down to St John's are...
- Thorburn... nice guy overall, but probably playing his last season with us anyways. Not waiver-exempt, but "waiver-proof"; $866,667 cap-hit reduction
- Jokinen... again probably playing his last season with us anyways. Not waiver-exempt, but "waiver-proof"; $925,000 cap-hit reduction
- Scheifele... waiver-exempt. His 2-way contract results in a $1,563,333 cap-hit reduction.
Some additional comments...
- KHL == "Kap Helping League". If we had signed Burmistrov to a "show me" contract around $1.8 million, we would be screwed cap-wise. As it is, we keep his NHL rights, without a penny against our cap limit.
- I got flack for suggesting a compliance buyout of Jokinen. His injury situation made that a moot point, but an extra $4.5 million cap space would sure look nice right about now.
- Remember all the demands that Chevy get expensive UFAs, because "we've got tons of cap room"? #that's_why_Chevy_didn't_do_anything
- And don't expect us to pick up waiver-wire players or UFAs out of the blue this season, unless we clear some cap space first.
EDIT: As per thread http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1474437 O'Dell has signed for $600,000. I had estimated $750,000. Numbers have been adjusted as necessary.
EDIT: Major update for Wheeler signing, and O'Dell being waiver-exempt
