GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 PART III

[ACC1224]

Short answer is yes.

They are currently just under the cap and accruing cap space, even with a 23 man roster and another 4.37 million on LTIR. So today they could add a player making 5 mill and still run a 23 man roster but they'd have to clear that space as players come of LTIR. I think it's fair to assume they are doing paper transactions to maximize cap accrual with the two waiver exempt players on their 23 man as well, which basically means they will have enough cap space to add anyone they want at the deadline.

So to summarize the longer answer, yes for right now, no once players come of LTIR (Nutivaara may be done for the year though), and yes again at the deadline.

They do, next year looks a bit dicey for them cap wise though. 6.5m in dead cap space with buyouts.

Thanks

As far as the cap goes, I was more pissed off at the league for allowing Tampa to kutcherov the league.

Why? It didn't break league rules.

Tampa has won a lot of games this year on Vash’s back, that’s the only thing that worries me in a head to head match up with them.

He’s one of those game breaking elite goalies that gives his team a lot of belief and stability, more so than other goalies with high save percentages.

You are right but I doubt I am the only one who was not happy with the move. Loophole is still open so Vegas might kutcherov Eichel.

Helps to have massive pads.

Marchand with an excellent point.

Good. The cap sucks so I hope teams find more loopholes to exploit.

Never looked at it from that angle.

That's absolutely terrible.

EDM all over FLA early on but no goals.

 

[saffronleaf]

lets go panthers

 

[TheShape]

The more I watch of Florida (especially on the road) the more pretender vibes I get from this team. Sam Bennett's had a good season but you're probably not winning a cup with him as your 2nd line C. They also need a top 4 D as bad as we do. And there's something about Bobrovsky I don't trust.

With all that said Leafs/Panthers 7 game series would be a coin flip.

 

[keonsbitterness]

2-0 Panthers after 2 despite being outshot 29-13.

The pressure mounts in Oil country.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Lol 3-0 Florida on a soft goal

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Florida has no business even being in this game and yet they're up 3-0 lmao

 

[3blizzard4]

LOilers losing again?


You don’t say

 

[Jozay]

Oilers have no luck lol

 

[BertCorbeau]

Lol wow

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Should’ve traded for Bennett instead of Foligno last year.

Also wow who could’ve predicted that the high octane Panthers would torch the leaky Oilers?

 

[keonsbitterness]

5-0

This is sad viewing.

Weegar is an excellent d-man.

 

[keonsbitterness]

6-0

 

[BertCorbeau]

Boy this escalated
