I find CapGeek to be unreliable, so I decided to do some more accurate calculations as to what the Flyers current Salary Cap 'woes' look like.
The way it works is all 1-way deals are counted full against the cap, but all two-way deals are based on their actual cap cost in the past season, which is calculated based on bonuses & how many days they actually spent on the Flyers roster. All qualifying offers are based on what the QO was valued at and then again based off of how many days spent on the Flyers roster in 2013-14. Using Gustafsson as an example:
Qualifying Offer of $850,500. Spent 56 of 99 (57%) of the season on the Flyers roster, so therefore we take 57% of the Qualifying Offer and use that against the Cap. Of course, once an actual contract is signed the number will likely change and go up.
1-way deals:
Hartnell - $4.75mil
Lecavalier - $4.5mil
Voracek - $4.25mil
Simmonds - $3.975mil
Giroux - $3.75mil
Talbot - $1.75mil
Read - $900k
Rinaldo - $750k
Rosehill - $675k
Hall - $600k
Timonen - $6mil
Streit - $5.25mil
Pronger - $4.94mil
Coburn - $4.5mil
Meszaros - $4mil
Schenn - $3.6mil
Grossmann - $3.5mil
Gustafsson - $1mil
Gervais - $825k
Bourdon – $612.5k
Emery - $1.65mil
Mason - $1.5mil
= $63, 278, 939
2-way deals & Qualifying Offers:
Schenn - $855,000
Couturier - $925,000
McGinn - $555,808
Laughton - $160,859
Akeson - $43,333
Konan - $45,429
Heeter - $6,742
QO Wellwood – $48,000
QO Lauridsen - $195,000
QO Manning - $86,667
= $3, 776, 838
Buyouts & Overages:
Bartulis - $100,000
Overage - $182,927
= $282, 927
TOTAL:
$67, 388, 704
---
CAP: $64, 300, 000
SPACE: - $3, 088, 704
So the Flyers must shed around $3mil in order to get under for the start of the season - and yes Pronger and Bourdon's caphits need to be included as they don't go onto the LTIR (if injured) until the season has already started. Even if injured, the caphit counts until it is able to go onto LTIR. The team is allowed to go 10% over throughout the offseason, but before training camp and the season starts they must be under $64.3mil.
So really, hardly woe worthy. Still, something has to be moved with a caphit north of $3mil...
Anyway, any thoughts? Any ideas on how they get under, who they would move and if they can add anymore players?
EDIT: Added Gustafsson's 1-way deal.
