Where are you getting the cap space
JR will find it. He's an EXPERT at managing the salary cap.
Where are you getting the cap space
Maybe teams should have waited a bit to figure out how the cap was going to look to do all those big trades.
I think it's gonna right about at 82.
What are the factors in the cap stagnating? Business bad, lately? Kinda seems like it but I don't have any of the numbers.
Jake Sid Duch would be one damn expensive line.
Also not paying Matt Duchene more than $8,699,999.99, regardless of context or inflation.
The main factor is the players using their 5% escalator. Last season they used 1.5% of it to artificially boost the cap. But given that almost every team is spending well over the mid point, all that means is more money in escrow coming off their paycheques every payday. I suspect that they won't want to use it at all.
Yikes to the cap strapped teams. The Penguins probably have to clear out another $1 million to get cap compliant now.
Kessel for Zucker more or less gets us there if that comes back around.
You could also just buy out JJ if you needed to.
GMs are idiots.
Thanks. I honestly haven't kept up with the CBA since the original cap was implemented.
Is everything still tied to revenues? Is this indicative of (even more) disinterest in the sport? Last I checked ratings were... not so good. What's the TV deal looking like?
Sorry for playing 20 questions.
Why limit yourself to 1M when 3.25M would be so much better?
You indicated that Sid should just pick who he wants, so what does the coach (Sully) actually do?
Allowing Sid to handpick his line mates is silly. I mean he normally picks Rust when it clearer isn't in his best interest (or the teams)
The only teams that need a backup and don't have their own version of Jarry are Toronto, Anaheim, Calgary and Edmonton as far as I can tell. There isn't much of a market for backups or young goalies right now, pretty much every team has a good prospect on par with Jarry.
Potentially clears up the Kessel situation if Arizona was hesitant because of this.
You saw my other link I hope where JJ has decided to co-opt Maatta’s old number...doesn’t sound like he thinks he’s going anywhere...

I like to toss the commoners a bone every now and then. hahaAnd bless us with your presence for sport?

And the officiating is like navigating a bureaucracy in a Third World country....
Hopefully Johnson going back to his old number causes him to go back in time 5 years too, but color me doubtful.
