I’m not saying I would swap defense I’m saying if you played skinner behind the Bruins D and Swayman behind ours is the gap really that big?

The Feds make the rules the provinces have to live by which do a pretty good job handicapping the provinces, but let’s not get into a political discussion here.
25-26, once the 15M yearly cap penalty is gone. They have a very nice young group of players in Faber, Boldy, and Rossi (to a lesser extent), and Yurov, Buium should be in the line up joining Ohgren, Wallstedt, and one or two others. Add those players to Kaprizov, JEE, Brodin, Spurgeon + a FA or two and you have the makings of an above average team. If just one or two of Heidt, Ritchie, Bankier, Kumpulainen, Spacek, Peart then better than that.
Guerin would never admit it because he has to fill the seats now, but the plan was always to wait out the Cap penalties and prepare for afterwards.
Healthcare falls under provincial jurisdiction per the constitution. Provinces make the rules. Nothing political about that; it's just the way it is.

How to deliver the federally mandated service is up to provinces. No province can actually afford to deliver the federally mandated fully publicly available system themselves anymore though. It's all a nice little game that helps ottawa try to claim our federal debt to GDP is not that bad vs other countries, when the provinces have to keep racking up debts to deliver various federally mandated services.
Back to hockey though
Kane's contract would expire before he got publicly funded surgery in any province within Canada's medical system was the point I was making. But Lets not get into a political discussion here.

If Kane is gone for say 41 games, does that mean we'd accrue apprroximately:
350K * 3 = 1.05M from that cap space
+
5.25M / 2 = 2.625M?
Or maybe i'm misreading it

The federal government sets a standard for healthcare insurance in order for provinces to receive federal cash contributions. If it really wanted to, a province could go it alone or privatize healthcare services and there's not much the federal government can do. Privatizing services is not politically popular though. There would also be some new charter challenges, but Quebec has already shown that such challenges might be an uphill battle.
Anyways, how bout them Oilers!

The Fed's taking the vast majority of taxes, and having access to borrow from the infinite money printer, and then setting the rules of how provinces get some of it back certainly makes breaking free difficult. But that is supposed to be the case.
But for sure , go Oilers indeed

You don't get any accrued space space from Kane on IR. All you get is accrued space from the amount you are under the cap with him on IR.
No. Kane still counts against the cap. You can exceed the cap by Kanes cap hit while he is on LTIR but you have to be cap compliant the day he returns.
Not Wikipedia. It’s a summary from the Federal Govt.
Anyway I never intended my comment about Kanes contract expiring before he’d get surgery publicly to take on a life of its own. But it is true however much people don’t like hearing about it.
Feds set the rules the provinces play by. Provinces don’t play nicely they don’t get their tax money to play at all. Feds already went to withhold under Klein when he went to privatize. Anyway not getting into it anymore.

Some say…
The problem is, unless you think he’s taken a massive jump this summer and can be a top 4 dman, he doesn’t help us. If he was a lefty you could give him a shot maybe, but we’ve already got multiple RD on the team who were his teammates last season, and played above him.
That would be ideal. If Kane were to play up to the deadline, and then get shut down until playoffs, you’d have like 9 million in cap to play with

That LTIR would let you go over the cap while they're out, but it's basically zero help unless that player pulls a Stone and is out until after the regular season is over.
I just bought a wia

He can have a recovery setback in Feb and go on LTIR before the deadline and then return in 100% condition for game 1?
