Can't there at least just be like a temporary bump at the deadline and you have to be compliant at the start of the season?

Would that put the owners on food stamps?

It would be interesting to have the cap go away for 2 weeks before the deadline. And just have it reinstated the day after the deadline.

Open up some room for trades.

I think the issue is that they weren't expecting to get Tarasenko and Kane so now they are scrambling to get some space they didnt know they would need.

I understand that, but you should be looking to accrue cap space for flexibility at the deadline regardless. You never know what could potentially pop up. Being ready for it should be table stakes, not just a prayer that someone forces their way to your team.

I went with trouba, mika, and Igor as the stars. Trochek was a standout too. Team effort but those three really set the tone and led the team tonight imo.

Not to harp on Igor, but us having the first lead of the game is SO important and happens way too rarely this season. That's what we need Igor for. He got us to the 2nd up 3-0 and we took off from there. If he's turned a corner, not even Meier worries me in the devils. Let's hope.

I went with Mika, Harpur and Mikkola, though Trocheck deserved a vote. But Harpur and Mikkola were unsung heroes tonight

I could buy that in some manner but it’s been the worst kept secret in the league for 12 months that he had a ton of interest in coming here

We also might be able to afford an additional depth defenseman right now if we were accruing space all along.

Long story short, there was zero reason not to be accruing space this year. Especially in favor of keeping Kravtsov and Lesch on the team.

we wouldn't be under the cap if we trade for Kane on Wednesday
Click to expand...
We need a total of 2.625 mil to fit Kane.

We are at $1,722,283. We are projected to have $1,927,317 by Friday, based on our current lineup. That's a difference of $205,034. Divide that by 5 days and we are saving $41,006.80 per day. With Schneider (5000 per day) and Carpenter (4054 per day) sent down tomorrow and Tuesday, we will save a total of $100,121.60.

That will put us at $1,822,404.60 + 750k for Carpenter staying in the AHL = $2,572,404.60. Just a little short.

So you are right that we won't be able to complete the trade on Wednesday. Assuming we will bring Carpenter and Schneider back up for the game Wednesday, we will only accrue $41,006.80 that day. That will put us at $2,613,411.40. Still a little short.

We should be able to make the deal on Thursday, if my math is correct. We will accrue another $30,871.55 if Kane is on the team instead of Carpenter on Thursday, which will be enough to fit his cap hit. I think we can do that.

If Miller is suspended, we may have to suit up Lindgren on Wednesday and sit him, but Schneider should be able to play that day, as we won't need to send him down again.

That 2nd goal allowed.... why is Trouba getting aggressive up 3-1 and shorthanded?

and it was another soft goal. Last year Igor gobbles that up. Vally talked about it in the pre-game. He's getting way too wide.. dropping way too fast or getting a terrible read on the puck... The upper part of the net is wide open

that puck should be stopped.

I was hoping it would be possible by Weds AM... so be it

He needs to fix it ASAP

Kane is coming. But is there something more in the works? Maybe...

Not unless we put Lindgren on LTIR
 
Kane gets to rest up a bit I guess before he plays his next game. Hope he will be ready for a strong 20 game push plus the playoffs.

Wow... Look at Mika in the bumper. A lefty on the right wall...

It worked...

I said this is what we would do. We have a right to left PP. Requires a righty in the bumper. It's not my ideal but 1000x better than having Chytil or Tarasenko there and 100x better than having Panarin there.

Just saw this... Maybe they could make the trade, dress Lindgren to meet requirements? w/ Schneider called up.

Who knows... This is so convoluted. It happens when it happens I guess.
