So I tried and new strain tonight and it is absolutely excellent at squashing the nausea from the chemo, but it had my mind trying to come up with ways to battle salary cap circumnavigation. *LOL* Sad thing is, at the end of two hours all I had was, well, you know, the salary cap doesn't count in the playoffs, so here's the deal, once the season is over, any player who didn't make the playoffs can sign up to be a black ace for any team that made the playoffs. They just won't get paid shit, but will get a ring and their name on the cup as long as they play in the playoffs.
[edit..probably have to limit to only players who are becoming UFAs but still...p
The NHL refused to do anything about some pretty obvious examples of circumnavigating the cap rules so let's flip the switch and lean into it and make it easier for all teams to play. Holy shit the upsets would go through the roof and as a long-standing member of Team Chaos, I'd be all in for a couple of seasons of it to be honest.
