With Martin’s one-way contract, does his pay while in Chicago go against Canes cap hit or only when he is called up?

Somewhat surprised, but the Patera claim and Martin's salary being one-way was probably helpful to get him through.

Martin isn't really that good. Our system makes goalies not named LaFontaine look better than they are. Glad he cleared as it makes things simpler if we do wind up needing a 3rd goalie but reality is even if he was claimed we could manage with some other goalie in a pinch.

nope, he's under the 1.05M cap hit required for any overage on that number to accrue

Anything amount league minimum + 375k (so currently 1.125m) applies to the cap. If a one way contract at or under that threshold, the cap impact in the AHL is zero.

Yeah, it was great he was able to fill in a bit for us, but he's not a permanent NHL solution for most outside of injuries. At least a guy like Patera might still have a bit of youth and upside on his side (compared to Martin, at least). And we make most guys look good as you mention.

Cheers all - hoping you all and your families are safe and well.

Wondering if anyone has any insight into which of Andersen or Kochetkov is likely to see the majority of starts or who looks better at this point? Or is it more likely they split the season?

Appreciate any thoughts anyone has on the matter, my pool is drafting late so I thought I'd ask the folks that know best!
