The bridge contracts (or contract) will need to happen before we get to Sanderson's 2024-25 10.2 (c) contract. It took about 3 or 4 minutes to build a spreadsheet (did this a week or so ago), and then maybe a few seconds to run subsequent "what if" scenarios, but I don't think anyone looks at posts that contain the numbers.
When did he say this? Recently? CBA & Bettman says only $1 to $2 m increases to the ceiling until 2025 and until the player escrow is paid off and the revenues hit a specific number. Maybe there's been something more recent that came out.
Yes, because the teams have to meet cap. Several teams made some pretty drastic moves this year to meet cap. We'll figure it out as you say, but that doesn't mean teams don't get into situations where measures need to be taken to meet cap. Running the numbers is informative. Situations can change as well of course.
Excellent. Thanks.Bill Daly believes NHL salary cap could rise significantly after 2023-24 season
Daly says the revenue projections for the 2022-23 season are "very solid" -- meaning the cap bump could come one year ahead of schedule.www.sportsnet.ca
He did sign long term in Ottawa, so that says something, but this seems like a decent fall back option for him.
If you read the article, he was actually pretty clear that a competitive team, the coaching staff and a tight group of players are what drew him to Florida. The rest was a welcome bonus. Mendes actually gave a bit of a leading question to get the response about the weather/beaches.
I think he says the main factor was a playoff team [with decent chance to make noise and go deep.]
I don't even think it's a high road thing, he genuinely seems like a positive guy and a good reason why he was said to be popular.
Weather and taxes, sure. Luxury goods? That's a new one. Maybe if this was the 80s and people were still driving to Plattsburgh for cross border shopping excursions, but aside from certain flavours of junk food I honestly can't think of a single US consumer product that you can't also buy in Canada. And even if there was, online shopping pretty much makes that a moot point.
There are some spectacular wine lists available at Ottawa better restaurants, no idea where that comes from. The Hunt Club and Royal Ottawa are both excellent private golf clubs. There are a couple of community’s within 15 minutes of CTC that rival any of the places around the Pennsylvania Pillbox areas or DC. They aren’t Gated because they don’t need to be. Flights out of Ottawa suck and high end night clubs are non existent. If you want to compare to NYC then almost every NHL city comes up short on your criteria.
