Could you imagine a flat cap and a lucky draw to move up to at least the 3rd OA pick. Boys this site would be flooded.Flat cap works perfectly for the Habs.
so 2 years that the habs won't spend much; not sure what all the hoopla is aboutIt until 2021/2022
How can the cap stay at 81.5M when they did not meet their revenue projections? Makes more sense for it to go down...? At this point, the regular season for next year may not even start on time...this is ugly folks, especially for pro sports.
This is a HUGE advantage for teams like Montreal who have a lot of high profile players to sign in the next two years; UFA (Danault, Tatar, Gallagher, Petry, Armia) and RFA (Domi, Kotkaniemi, Poehling, Suzuki, Lehkonen).
This is also a huge advantage for teams who currently have a lot of cap space. It’s time for those teams to take advantage of the situation.
Travis Greene said that in the last 5 days the mood around the league has been different and seems to be optimistic about salvaging the season. Trump has also met with him among others and wants to work to get sports back sooner than later. Worst case its without fans but personally by the end of May middle of June I think this hysteria will have died down. By then majority of infected will be recovered or in isolation. The demographic that would go to a game are the the same people who have been isolating. I cant see in 6 weeks from now there will be a large amount of people who would be infected without knowing. People are overreacting imo, 50.000 alone die in the USA from the flu every year, the world still turns.How can the cap stay at 81.5M when they did not meet their revenue projections?

Totally agree with this, Why should GMs be rewarded for bad cap management?If the Cap stays flat I hope there also is no compliance buyout. Should be no bailout for teams with those awful contracts. If it's irresponsible spending, suffer the consequences. Teams with Cap space can choose to bail them out for a price.

bad way of thinking what it's for.Totally agree with this, Why should GMs be rewarded for bad cap management?
We'll just have to disagree on this one. Every team needs to be compliant with the Cap when it's set. I work in compliance in another industry so the concept isn't lost on me. However, when you run up against a limit and the limit changes you need to find ways to adjust and it isn't shouldn't impact those that remain compliant. That's just my way of thinking. I don't begrudge teams for wanting to spend to the Cap but in most cases this is a result of the Free Agent system and the players right to get what the owner is willing to pay. If the Cap is indeed flat, there are already rules in place to get compliant. They have regular buyout options or you work with your fellow GMs to move the salary - in this case it's at a cost to the team not in compliance. Again, just my opinion.bad way of thinking what it's for.
the compliance buyout is supposed to help teams comply with a lower than expected salary cap through no fault of their own. it's not right that they have to be punished because of covid
Doesn’t matter if the qualifying offer for Meier is 10m, 9.9m for Tkachuk, 8.25m for McCavoy, 7.7m for Werenski etc...
Teams are going to have to overpay to keep those guys or let them walk for nothing in a cap that will stay flat with high escrow % for a couple of years
Yeah, missed him. Wow that is going to f*** San Jose big time.
Surprised it's not going down
If there are escrow debt paybacks how does that work for someone who’s contract changes this season? For example if there’s 25% escrow this year but the players only paid 15% from their cheque’s they owe 10%. Would a player who was paid say 1 million but resigned for 5 million be paying the 100k he owes(10% of 1 million, his prior contract to make up his share) or does the NHLPA as a whole pay 10% this year, meaning the guy who is suddenly making 5 million is paying 500k now. I would assume the former, players individually make up their share based on prior years and not as a whole based on next year

Habs cap management is bizzarre to say the least. Marc Bargainbin is a clown...doesn't matter what the cap is.Flat cap works perfectly for the Habs.

If theres any issues, they could have the rinks at a lower capicity in a way to keep people at a distance.
Shocking
