I must have misinterpreted it, it was that podcast explaining accuring space/LTIR. Also said you cannot combine LTIR and accuring cap together.

My understanding is that you cannot exceed the cap using LTIR and accrue cap space. Just having a player on LTIR is fine as long as you don't go over the cap while he is there.

Seravalli and Stauffer say Kane has been feeling great and it’s been confirmed pretty much by Weekes that he’s back by the New Year… lmaooo

Foegele "thriving" is the other end of the "Arvy and Emberson suck" spectrum.

Foegele is exactly what he's always been, and until last night had 1 point on the season through 8 games.

Prop up one player on 8 games played, and knock down others on 8 games played.

Now do McLeod.

With the accrued cap space we will potentially have, there will be no shortage of cap to add basically anyone we want.

The bigger challenge is going to be who is actually available and will we have the assets to outbid other teams considering our razor thin prospect pool and no 1st rounder this upcoming draft.

Well this makes sense considering they have been handling the cap as if he will be back in-season rather than a Mark Stone situation.

I heard with this cap, you cannot do more than 1 move with it. You acquire a player worth 5.25 or less and that's it. Is that true?

Yes you have to use the accrued space first and then the LTIR after. It can't be simulataneous

And it's looking like we might not use LTIR at all. Kane is coming back before then (but who knows that might be us just laying out a paper trail that we had good intentions)

Grab him to piss Drive off

If Kane is not going to be on LTIR the whole year then the earlier he is ready the better. This is true for cap considerations as well as on ice. If they add Kane to the active roster they have the option to send someone else down and open up more space if needed.

With how the team looks, I wouldn't mind an earlier Kane return

 

[GOilers88]

Now do McLeod.

Why? I see nothing wrong with noting McLeod is having a good start in Buffalo.

Don't even get me started on the Ceci Top Pair part of that post. Lmao.

A healthy Kane is better than anyone we can get on the market so just forget using LTIR.

Now the accrued cap space is another story. I’m thinking Marcus Peterson and Carrier

Ekholm-Bouchard
Petersson-Nurse
Kulak-Carrier

With Peterson(you know I love my swedes) there are 3 things to factor. 1--UFA after this year--we would need a favorable sign and trade or a new contract in place at the time of the deal. We will be looking at trading 2027 first and maybe a 3rd for him. Regardless of if he has a new contract in place. 2) If the pens decide to trade him I can see a few teams doing what they can to trade for him. 3) Petereson is on 4 and Carrier is 3.75--so we would we would need more than just Kane's LTIR money to add them. We would need a team to take Kulak off our hands.
