Lets not go crazy but can you imagine the 3 of them on one squad?

The Hurricanes set off a chain reaction of moves, because the Rangers, likely in reaction to Rantanen going to their rival, quickly responded with upping their Miller package and getting their man. Dallas was also clearly in the mix for Miller, as well, seeing that they responded by trading for Granlund and Ceci.

Oceans-style heist movie about JR executing an Elias Pettersson trade.

The objective: make it through the official NHL trade call without anyone realizing you’re including the other Elias Pettersson the whole time.

We started everything by trying to collect all the Staals. And the Sutters, for a while.

Maybe the number of cap teams will decrease but that will benefit all cap teams equally, including us.

The teams that will benefit most are the teams with core players already on long term contracts — like us. Rags and Leafs don’t exactly fit that bill

I wouldn't say it doesn't include the Leafs if they bring Marner back, they just need to bite the bullet and focus on fixing the defense for a change once Tavares is off the books.

Sure, but the reality where a raised salary cap leads to the big market teams spending significantly more every year than smaller market teams creates an advantage for them. Not sure how that’s controversial or a disagreeable fact. It’s up to those teams to still be smart about how they spend that extra money, but at the very least it mitigates any poor spending and allows those teams to take risks and operate with less “efficient” contracts.

The biggest thing I think we'll see going forward is it being more difficult to weaponize cap space the way we did the first couple years of this core, which led to us getting Jarvis. The teams that are just treading water aren't going to be spending to the cap, even the ones like Vancouver and Calgary where the market can afford it. When you go from 1-2 non rebuilding teams having cap space each season to 5-6 of those same type of teams having cap space it's going to be harder and harder to take advantage of the Toronto's of the world.

Maybe it's just me but seeing the aging NYR pick up a player who is arguably just pase his prime at what is accepted to be a bad long term contract, I can't shake the feeling they just panic moved into setting up their own demise.

That team isn't getting any younger or cheaper
