ANOTHER mistake by Buffalo. He should have been traded this past weekend after the agent released the statement. They are really playing with fire here. When disgruntled players/agents go out of their way to release statements like that, its not soon - its NOW.
I was explaining it in simple terms. Its called an LTIR Relief PoolThe cap is always the league cap. If you put someone on LTIR it’s still the league cap, but you get to exceed it by the LTIR amount. The cap ceiling doesn’t change to your cap hit plus the LTIR. Perhaps you’re not wording it well because that would mean a team with a $75m cap hit would have that as their ceiling if they put someone on LTIR and thus would have a lower cap ceiling than the rest of the league.
Yea, I was putting it in simple terms as well, that’s why I simply said you get to exceed it by the LTIR.I was explaining it in simple terms. Its called an LTIR Relief Pool
Also no you dont get to exceed it by the LTIR amount. They can exceed it by their Accrued Cap Space Limit (ACSL) + their LTIR relief pool - the Leagues Upper Limit
As for your 75M team example, not thats only their ACSL
at least until SeptemberThis thread will continue forever won’t it?
Adams pretty much guaranteed that he would get bent over when he failed to trade him before the draft. The offers are only going to get worse the more he waitsSo take whatever is out there because the agents applied public pressure? That seems like a great way to get bent over in a trade.

Unless the offers to this point have been massive underpayments. I'm fine with Adams slow rolling this.
But why? They traded Ristolainen and Reinhart. The team is back into full tank mode. The Eichel situation is a distraction and a cancer, but that can only help their tanking. There's nothing there to destroy.ANOTHER mistake by Buffalo. He should have been traded this past weekend after the agent released the statement. They are really playing with fire here.

The problem is that there is no reason for the offers to get better the longer this goes. Things just get uglier and uglier for Adams, not better the longer this goes and pretty soon, no one will be able to afford taking back $10m w/o moving out contracts. So instead of futures, Adams will have to take on money. The "let him rot" discussion is ridiculous....no team wants that headache. His ownership will pull the rug out from under him before they allow an entire season of "what's up with Eichel?" everyday.
How much of this is really about the surgery vs. just wanting out of BUF?
Any chance Eichel is insisting on the surgery because he knows BUF won't budge?
Would be fascinating if he suddenly 'changed his mind' about getting the surgery after being traded.
I'm struggling to see the consequence if they run out of that runwayI'm curious at what point teams are going to just say **** it, we need to make other arrangements. The surgery timetables are a big one. Buffalo may run out of runway if they slow roll this too much.
