[Wolfpuck]

Somebodies in trooubbblee

 

[Fire Stan Bowman]

Um... he’s right though

you guys are just sucking the nba right now cuz you won the finals and it was new and awesome, nobody in america who follows the NHL and NBA closely thinks the NBA is better than the NHL.. absolutely the salary cap should have been set by now, that blows my mind

 

[Langdon Alger]

How is this a bush league move?

It should be announced before the draft. Ideally, it’s announced shortly after the season ends.

Ratings saying otherwise, that's the key indicator.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Hopefully the signals to the league to fix their officiating and DOPS.

I know a few people who didn't watch the playoffs because of this.

VGK tradeorama begins in 3 2 1...

yeah thats cuz nba fans are people who dont know anything about basketball and go to the YMCA and start shooting shots 10 feet behind the 3 point line during pick up games.. yeah the nba might make more money but if youre a true fan of basketball you know the NBA is the WWE of basketball

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

For once, Chicago doesn't care its lower

Nice to not have to worry about it

 

[RocketKing]

Allot of GMs are really feeling the heat after this news

 

[PWJunior]

Leafs fans finding out the upper limit is set to $81.5M...

From HF Isles...

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

When are the gates going to open

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

For everyone complaining about the timing of this, I'd like to share the following, copied directly from the CBA -

(iii)For the 2014-15 League Year, and each subsequent League Year, the Lower Limit and the Upper Limit of the Range shall be calculated by the Independent Accountants no later than June 30 of the immediately preceding League Year, using Preliminary HRR and Projected Benefits, which shall be based upon the Initial HRR Report for the immediately preceding League Year.

In other words, they announced it 8 days earlier than they needed to.

And it was calculated by third party accountants.

Eugene finding out the lower limit is 60.2

How is this a bush league move?

It’s a bush league move to not have your cap set way before today as the offseason moves start the day the cup is over. You don’t see the other big sports ran like this.

Looking in your direction Vegas.

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

Looking in your direction Vegas.

Future odds have them 2nd with 7-1 odds to win the Cup. Yeah........

 

[Leaf Fans]

You didn’t know the whole league revolves around the Leafs and all their recent championships

We haven't won since 1967, so that can't be right. Though the board seems to revolve around the Leafs much more than it should.

 

[MinJaBen]

VGK tradeorama begins in 3 2 1...

Haula at us if you need some help with that...

 

[Leaf Fans]

Looking in your direction Vegas.

Or Edmonton perhaps Nashville, Pittsburgh probably; even with Marleau off the books the Leafs have work to do.

 

[kilowatt]

There ought to be a deadline in place that the salary cap must be set one week prior to the NHL draft.

 

[kilowatt]

This is a pretty great time to NOT be in contention though, for whatever it's worth.
