TSN: Cap will go up next season. 84-88.2mil (cap increase now in jeopardy)

[4Twenty]

So which is it, Cap will go up next season. 84-88.2mil or wait and see

Just be happy they can fit Hughes and Pettersson’s bonuses from this season under next years cap now. We’ll wait and see if they can fit next years bonuses on next years cap yet.

All this means is salary inflation for all expiring contracts, of which we have many. A $3.5MM increase is $108.5MM of additional cap space league wide.

The only teams who benefit hugely from cap increases are teams where their star players are locked up long term.

This is also his LAST chance at a big money contract.

And if he takes the big contract on another team, I won't judge him for it. Just saying that with a rising cap, it opens the window, however slight, to sign Marky to a realistic deal if he's willing to take a pay cut to stay here.

When you say pay cut, you mean discount

It’s hardly realistic to expect a guy to take a pay cut at this point in his career especially with the cap rising imho. It’s not like the case of a Hamhuis who took less because he’s from around here.

Plan for the low end projection, and hope for the higher end. Also, I hope the NHL confirms the new upper limit earlier this year.

Sweet! JT Miller contract of 5 mil! That trade is looking better and better every year!

How high does the cap have to go to make Eriksson's deal look good?

High , but he gone soon! All is well that ends well!

Those 2 years are going to feel like 20.

Trust me, you wont have to wait 2 years to get rid of Loui Eriksson.

I highly doubt he sticks around 2 years for 5 mil

And I VERY highly doubt even more he sticks around 1 year for 2.5 mil next year.

Yeah. Looks good on cap friendly. Hope it means something substantial for the franchise for the duration.

Trust your hopes and dreams? People like to be based in reality.

I guess we’ll see if your 4 year deal is legit when we’ve seen lots to suggest it’s a hope.

Again, they did well by Gagner with two years left by loaning him to AHL Toronto? If they even waive him it seems very much like the precedent is set for Loui to go to AHL Texas then no?

Gagner had aspirations of another contract and still being an NHLer.

I dont believe LE cares for riding the bus in the AHL in hopes to signing another NHL contract after.

Im confident his goals are aligned with family and his high establishment restaurant business in Europe.

LE has litterally made somewhere around an estimate of 80+ million dollars with career earning and business ventures.

We're just going to ignore that we our two core players are current unsigned and the price just went up with this news?

I tried to do the calculation . . .

I think his deal will look fine once the salary cap goes over $300 million.

Yay the cap went up!

Oh now Pettersson will make like 15m instead of 12m? Hughes 10 instead of 8? Well shit.

Every team will have that problem that has their studs on ELC. its a good problem to have.


no need to worry, cap going up will be good for us.

Like you said , cap going up is fantastic for teams that have core players signed long term. Aka Miller, Horvat

Having an internal cap now that our core is formed is also good.

Horvat
Miller
Boeser.

JT Miller making 5 mil is fantastic for us. He is our point leader. Even with inflation to set the internal cap its still a heck of a contract.

I know i wont change your mind tho , im just wired to see the glass half full i guess.

People think that once LE is mercifully gone, Jimbo isn't going to hand out another similar contract?

As great as we think Pettersson is, he isnt going to be making Marner, Mathews money.

I'd look at Pettersson closer to Aho money that he signed this off-season 8.45 range, probably a bit higher with inflation and cap going up. but thats a great comparison.

Myers contract is a great internal cap. 6 million for a #4 offensive defenseman that doesn't put up points. Jethro Bodine for the win.

I just think people dont live in what if , bad case scenario outcomes.. who wants to live that way anyways

How long ago did Myers get his current deal? FACTS.

I guess owning the team changes your perception and reality of things. FreeMcDavid is going whole glass full on the entire cap structure of the team.
