They have 10m in capspace with 11f, 8d and 2 goalies signed. Its not an issue, send a couple players down and they will be fine. People really need to look at how many players teams have on their NHL roster and not only the total cap hit.

So are they not signing their key players? Is Tkachuk going to sign for $5M? They still have to make some moves. Their situation isn't dire, but I don't think they get there by sending a couple players down....especially if Tkachuk gets something similar or higher than Aho.

It's an issue when one of those forwards is looking to taken 7.5 of that 10 million.

Misleading title, it had nothing to do with the Lucic trade. The trade actually improved it.
The title is fake news

They were in a cap crunch pre Lucic trade too.

Cue the " Tkachuk offersheet" thread?
Edit: Scroll further down the page....and there it is!!

They can’t sign all their RFA’s without additional moves. That’s an issue. It’s not a huge issue as they don’t need to clear a ton of space, but there are definitely guys currently on the roster that won’t be in October.
They're piling up all of these contracts and yet have the stones to come to the overtaxed residents of Calgary and demand money for their new arena. They brought all of this on themselves and I'm not shedding any tears over this predicament.

I am not commenting on the arena thing as I am not familiar but as for the cap, people would be complaining even more if they dont spend the cap.
Their problem is they spent it on Neal, Stone, Brouwer...etc...but that's more of a hockey problem.
Also, it's the cost to have a good team and despite what jealous Oilers fans say, they do have a decent team, Lucic is not their main guy

But the subject doesn't. Which is what people are commenting on.

Sorry....usually the minute someone mentions "cap crunch"...the poaching of said team's great young players becomes the thought. And not surprisingly, there is a Tkachuk offersheet thread.
Edit: i meant further down the trades/proposals page. I missed it earlier.

Unsure why people say they arent in a cap crunch.
When people in threads say "oh they are fine, they just have to trade this guy and that guy and send these guys down and then will be able to hopefully afford the RFA signings" is a definate sign of cap issues.
Its not that easy

Like 90% of the league is in a cap crunch.
I think Bennett might be the only casualty depending on Mathews asking price. Even then Bennet is not worth more than 3 million per year so you can easily get Mathew in the 6-7 million range.
There is still two months left, they will make more moves.

They do have some issues like bunch of other teams but it's not like it's not fixable and they have to lose their good players because of it.

Stone buyout seems like the best solution right now, he’s their 4th best RHD making over 3M for 1 year.
Then go with a tight roster for the deadline.
Should result in enough space to sign their guys.

So people are just commenting without reading the post? No wonder they are confused, they deserve to be arguing against a brick wall.
