To those who questioned it...I hate to say I told you so......but I also enjoy saying it. I told you so.!!!!

Oilers joined the shenanigans. It was soo damn obvious people
Your late to the party. Ive been claiming since Tampa did the cap circumventing that it will be fine until a Canadian team tries it. The only reason there looking at the avs amd other teams is because it would be to obvious going after edmontin alone for it 😆
 
Speculated by a random twitter account run by a guy up in Alaska making some dodgy connection conjured out of thin air.

His speculation doesn't make any sense with regards to Landeskog, and he's already been proven wrong about Kane as he won't play till game 3
It wasn’t some random person- Friedman said it on air last night. Well, he hinted at it…very strongly
 
All they need to do is have teams ice capped teams in the playoffs. Get your guy(s) on LTIR, but you have to ice a team under the cap
Thing is, the way they have it works for an honest league. For example, we were in a playoff spot, but by no means guaranteed around the TDL. Say Draisaitl went down with an injury that would definitely last until the 2nd round or later, I think we should be able to use his cap on going for a bit of a replacement in someone like Brock Nelson or whatever. I would think the same for any team that lost a star like that legitimately.

The issue is when surgeries are delayed, everything is shrouded in a veil of secrecy, or you have weird stuff like Hossa becoming allergic to his equipment (though I think he just retired with that one?), and then they are perfectly fine for game 1.

I don't know what the solution is tbh. Selfishly, I kinda hope it ends up in a softer cap.
 
Problem with that is the cap is for a 23 man roster. Teams only ice 20 players so there’s still plenty of room for silliness to happen.
Just make it for a 20 man roster during the playoffs.

Even during the season the 3 press box players cap buy only the league minimum total shouldn’t count against the cap so teams can actually ice 23 man rosters during the season.

That would cause too many issues due to injuries and such. Teams couldn’t backfill positions if someone goes down. Simple solution is to submit your playoff roster the last day of the season. It has to be cap compliant. If players on that roster get hurt- it has to be filled internally (I.e black aces)

Still creates a problem as cap number per player changes for playoffs.
