Djoos had a cap hit of $1.2 million, but $1.075 million of that was buried in the minors. Sprong's cap hit is $750k and he's restricted. Once the playoffs start I believe your allowed to call up 4 players. From now till the end of regular season, the Caps have $125k more cap room to call up a player. And now you know why BMac had the Habs retain 50% of Kovy's $700k cap hit.
LD is a position of strength in terms of our prospects, so this was a move that made some sense.
I think starting at midnight today (Trade Deadline Day over) and going straight through the playoffs, you can call up as many players as you want with no salary cap restrictions or ramifications as long as they are on your 50 man contract list. There are no more roster size restrictions now.
Calling up a whole bunch of guys now would demolish your AHL team of course, but once AHL playoffs is over for that team, go buck wild.
Edit: oh wait, teams are restricted formerly for 4 non-emergency callups from their professional minor league teams until that affiliate is out of their respective postseasons. So it is a formal restriction, I was wrong I see now. Unlimited callups can be used for any other prospect from any other leagues that is not the AHL and the ECHL.
I thought it was just a courtesy not to do that to your minor league affiliates. So you were right.
