Got a quick question for the Coyotes fans:
When the Pronger trade happened, I was having lunch with a good friend who is the host of a very popular hockey podcast. He was bemoaning the fact that the Coyotes made this deal so that they could reach the cap floor "artificially", and I explained to him that this was not the case - from what I gather, they took on the Pronger contract in order to get Philly to make the deal, and I even suggested that Arizona would be above the cap floor even without Pronger's contract.
So we made a wager: at the end of the season, if the Coyotes remained above the cap floor WITHOUT Pronger's deal, he would buy lunch. If not, I had to buy the lunch. As best I can tell, I've got a free lunch coming my way. I have watched a LOT of Coyotes games this season (and saw them in person in San Jose back in February), but I wanted to pose the question to all of you to get full confirmation:
Have the Coyotes been over the cap floor all year even WITHOUT Pronger's cap hit?
Thanks in advance!
