25 of the 32 teams are US based. Most Americans are on holiday today...why shouldn't the market for those 25 teams dictate what time they play today?

Cap question guys..........concerning the Leafs. Chris Johnstone says they are working on a deal for Taveres that is like the McCabe deal with deferred money?? How does deferred money count towards the cap??
Are the Leafs the only team to use this loophole?

Carolina signed Jarvis to a deferred contract in the offseason.

Why should Calgary or vancouver fans who are working have to put up with it?

It's just the way the contracts are calculated. The AAV is the average of the length of the contract, if a signing bonus is deferred it doesn't count on the numbers used to calculate the AAV.

There is probably a limit to how much can be deferred. And some teams might not want to owe a few millions to someone in 10 years.

Sadly Bettman sees Canada as an after thought
