Here's our CapFriendly situation IF Marner made $4M less:

Again, that isn't how LTIR works. It isn't a pool of ununsed cap space to use. To get the full $13.6 million LTIR benefit, they need to be exactly at the cap ceiling on opening day.

If they are $4 million under the cap when the season starts like in your example, they will lose $4 million of LTIR benefit.

Ask Cap friendly directly.

You do that when you lose? Odd

Here is how cap relief is calculated.

Exceed value = ACSL + salary relief pool - league upper limit.

Now Marner at 6.9 million

Exceed value based on example shown = 77.4 (cap hit) + 13.6 - 81.5
= 9.5 million exceed value

They would be allowed to exceed the cap by $9.5 million, not $13.6 million.

There goes the mythical $4.1 cap space. It doesn't exist.

Having said that, they could have tried to get players which total that to add to the team, but it would have had to happen in preseason, which teams don't generally do.

At the end of the day, it's a moot point. There was no way that Marner is worth less than $9.5 million on his term.

I don't know what more to do other than publish an actual calculation from CapFriendly like I did.

You do understand that I used the cap calculator tool from the CapFriendly website?

And not calculated in accordance to the CBA link I sent.

It's wrong.

You can only add the LTIR to the cap hit, not the upper limit.

Yeah, go with that.

Looks like Carter Verhaeghe has made the Lightning roster

Maybe Edmonton Oilers sold their soul to Old Nick for that other worldly team of superstars in the 1980's and these last two decades of teasing and pain are just the beginning of their eternal price for the 1980's dynasty. But what did Connor McDavid do to deserve this fate?

Nobody demanded that he signed an 8 year contract with them.

 

[Superstar]

To be fair it's not like the Oilers have been picking in the top 10 for a decade or something like that. Oh nevermind...

Imagine if they had this core?

Connor McDavid
Taylor Hall
Leon Draisaitl
Matthew Tkachuk
Morgan Rielly

This is a legit debate. I'm taking the Marlies.

That's genuinely shocking. They are trying to get better aren't they? I can't tell.

Looks like the Canucks are naming EP as the captain after 60 something games.

Where do you see that?

I think it will likely be Bo.

If you're referring to this tweet:



I doubt they go with a C and 4 alternates. One of the 4 will be the C.

They highlighted the As. It's definitely going to be EP.

 

[Legion34]

Can you have 1 captain and 4 alternates? There has to be a limit right?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If Pettersson doesnt fill out quickly he is going to have an injuried plagued career. He was literally getting tossed around last year, boy vs men

I imagine the four alternates will be split between home and away games.

 

[kb]

Yeah, go with that.

I did. Because it was correct.

Rosen down in the AHL. Some people were upset about losing him.

Watching the Oilers player intros makes me a little sad for McDavid, just a waste of a generational player with that dumpster roster

I couldn't be happier. Can't stand the Soilers and I hope they stay mediocre forever.

This Oilers team is looking pretty rough
