Ticks me off, hate when those teams near the cap luck out

The only people that talk about the cap are people who don’t want to spend money or people that screw it up. That’s why I hate when people keep talking about saving cap space for future signings. Good teams know how to navigate it.

Cap recapture is such a weird thing.  Player signs with Team X, gets traded to Team Y years later, retires from Team Y years after that, and Team X eats a stiff cap penalty.

I suppose the lesson is don't frontload contracts.

Team X is the one that got the benefit so it makes sense in that way

You can push it down the road some and maintain with cap gymnastics but at some point the piper will be paid.

Chicago for example, although they went to extreme in their tear down, Dare I say Buffalo tank for McDavid/Eichel extreme

Other teams will be forced to make tough decisions, some will prolong for a little while longer, some will start the inevitable decline.

People been saying this for years. You can keep the guys you want if you are smart about it. Chicago made some stupid decisions.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
