Yup, teams will have to use up some of their cash to get from under the deadwood. The NHL should provide a period in which these buyouts do not count against any cap #.

likea said:anyone have a list of what payrolls will be with the 24% rollback along with the RFA's they need to sign
could we see a team like the Pens go after a big named RFA because the other team is close to a cap???

It does in the NFL.Mr. Make-Believe said:I don't think a buyout would count against a cap anyway.

Whoa! So is Davidson saying the proposal contained a $32-million floor or is that just his educated guess?NYRangers said:There will be a 32 mil low point he said. So Detriot will be selling Nashville would buy. He said everyone is informed on this and it will happen before any hockey is played.

Brodeur said:From the NHLPA's proposal:
Top 6 payrolls with 24% rollback, number of contracted players in parenthesis:
Philly: 50.0 million (24 players)
Toronto: 46.6 (19)
New Jersey: 46.3 (24)
Detroit: 43.4 (21) -- Datsyuk, Chelios unsigned
Dallas: 40.7 (18)
Colorado: 40.3 (25) -- no Forsberg, Kariya, Selanne
Bottom 6:
Nashville: 19.8 (19)
Chicago: 19.1 (18)
Atlanta: 19.5 (21) -- Heatley and Kovalchuk unsigned
Florida: 14.3 (18) -- Jokinen unsigned

How many teams are close, or at the 70million payroll mark ? Probably two, Det and NY.
nyr7andcounting said:JD was saying that teams MUST be under the cap by the start of the season, will the same be true with the salary floor. Assuming there is one, there probably will be, you are looking at some teams like Pittsburgh and Washington here who are going to have to put on at least 15 million in payroll in a couple weeks. Looks to me like these teams are going to be stuck signing a lot of the buyouts from the top teams.
It doesn't seem to me that it would be smart to say all teams have to be within _ and _ by the first day of the season. As much as some don't want the big contracts to be grandfathered in, it would hurt the small markets to NOT have grandfathered contracts, because they are going to get stuck adding to their payrolls in the form of cast-offs from other teams. That doesn't make much sense and isn't really good for anyone invloved, not the teams or the tons of players who are going to be switching teams.
youre not factoring the 24% decrease on salaries. only a few of teams were over the limits when that was factored in. the bigger deal ios where is the floor? are teams going to have to go on signing spress to get there? boston has some work to do, i would think. all the lower payroll teams would likely have to get up to about 30 mill. i think the first couple of weeks would be amongst the craziest in terms of signing and trading ever seen in any sport. i think after that, deals will be less frequent, especially around deadline time. free agent signings become just as important as trades, and a lot of trades are either flat out salary dumps....or even money deals. everything we consider "value" in trades could be out the door.HABSoluteDMB11 said:How the hell are teams like Philly, Detroit, Colorado.... supposed to get their payrolls to $46m before a season would start this year, assuming a deal is reached?

trolling small market fans in a thread like this is pretty immature - stick to the topic please.NataSatan666 said:How about the NHLPA removes the offer from the table then?
Because if that was to happen the players would not agree to a cap period. Seriously who wants to play in (add small market team here)?
