Speculation: Guess The Cap Ceiling! Yay...

[Ron*]

Okay here we go. We are officially in bored-to-****ing-death no-hockey summer.

Let's take a poll! (sung to "let's have a parade!" by Tim Lie-Weekly)

Where is the cap gonna be?

I would have posted this on the main board, but hey: I'm not a moderator. I'm not allowed to do that.

Anyway, I've given a range of options. Give your opinion! Vote!

Vote! Vote! Vote!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Going with just under 71.

 

[Ron*]

Jesus H. Christ I am a moron.

Ashamed even more, since I have a B.A. in Math (a long time ago, don't ****ing ask).

Of course, the poll options should read:

CAP < 69%

69% <= CAP <= 70%

70% <= CAP <= 71%

71% <= CAP <= 72%

72% <= CAP <= 73%

CAP > 73%

 

[Buddy The Elf]

why is it listed as a percentage? In my defense, I only have a public high school education.

 

[Martyros]

75 million

Because Bettman is a Kings fan.

....and, oddly enough, a Hawks fan as well.

What do the percent signs mean

Give me a break, man. I'm losing it today.

Of course, the poll should read:

ah, **** it. You know what I meant. :/

It means I am a bigger moron than I even thought I was.

BD, correct my moronic poll, please. Thanks.

oh no worries.. I saw when people were voting that you probably meant millions but I honestly didn't know if the percentage was indicative of anything. Wasn't trying to give you a hard time! Grab a cold one.

 

[Ron*]

Ah, here's a better way to look at it:

The percent means of $100,000.000.00.

Yeah, that'll work.

I'm gonna grab several cold ones. Right after I finish with this one.

$1, Bob.

I'm more curious about when the NHL actually plans to announce the cap number. You'd think they'd have done it before the buy out period started.

The rumors are intensifying that it will be sometime next week, perhaps as early as Wednesday, June 24. I originally heard June 22, but that's a Monday, making it highly unlikely that they would announce it right after a weekend.

But who really knows?

This guy...

 

[kingsfan]

Looks like he's having a stroke

 

[Captain Mittens*]

He needs an eyepatch. Like this, but of a Stanley Cup

 

[ADifferentTim]

Realistically speaking, I see the cap at US $70M and flatline at that amount for three years in a row; afterwards, US $73M.

Kind of agree. I think whatever it lands at, the needle will be there for at least a couple of years while currency figures out what the hell it's going to do.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

$71,000,001

Final Answer.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

$70,700,000
