It's not the cap hit that's the problem, it's the NMC come 2021.

If you mean because of the expansion draft - if Tyson Barrie were still around to protect in the expansion draft, I'd agree. But I don't think losing Graves or Zadorov moves the needle that much.

You have no proof that EJ and Cole are not the reincarnations of the greek gods apollo and zeus.

Base Byram will make little, but he will certainly hit some bonuses. If the Avs are against the cap, they roll over and count where Byram could still earn more. Within a realm of possibility that Byram is effectively 3-4m on the cap in 2022 or 2023.

ah yeah I always forget about that. It still helps though with the percentage of the cap. Byram's actual hit of 3/4 assuming he does well would be filled by someone making at least 5mil otherwise and if he does really well even higher. So there are still savings.

EJ won't be a huge problem on his own. The problem is having EJ and Cole or EJ and Z both making 6 and 4 respectively. That hurts.

Ideally your top defense would make x% of the cap etc. having roughly 1/9th of the cap in your bottom pair (assuming inflation) is not good even if the top pair is way below their actual percentage requirement. But Cole will be gone by the time EJs deal looks really bad and that money++ will go to Makar.

The good thing is is that EJ is the only bad contract on the avs. You can argue Cole too but its only 1 more year. Most teams have multiple problem contracts

Yup that is the big problem... two highest paid defenders currently and next year the top and third are really bottom pairing guys. It hurts and the Avs just can't make it their 4-6 defensemen.

Landy will end up joining EJ in that group, might as well get used to the idea of Landy at $8m.

Ugh. Landy at $8m with Drai at $8.5m is disgusting to think about lol.

Landy at 8 million$ where? Here?! f*** no.

Add two seasons of inflation and Landy being the better player... and you have $8m. We all know the contract is gonna suck, but sometimes you just gotta take that chubby.

Is it too late to reference back to the Duchene cap?

8 Mill is insane for Landeskog. That better not be is ask and if it is he should just give Mackinnon 2 mill of that. Lol Wouldnt it be funny if the reason Nathan is willing to take a pay cut to win here is because Landeskog and Rantanen are giving him a cut of their money haha
