Absolutely no idea. they have to play the Penguins 4 times in 16 days.

Ridiculous.
- BINGO!

4 weekend back to backs in March, all with travel too.. It's gonna be tough down the stretch..

So we hear..

How will the Canes makeout with their 16 games in 26/27 days? (frank)ed up schedule for sure lol

C-Bus has the hardest schedule.

The Athletic came out with an article yesterday with opponents expected winning percentage and actual winning percentage, back to backs, home/road games.

C-Bus has 5 home games left and one of the hardest opponent winning percentage in the league.

Still helpful -- that extra $2.5 mln covers the cost of having more than a shooter tutor as a backup goalie and the $1.2 mln in hot dogs we are still buying Kessel next season, with a little walking around money leftover!

If it goes up by $4M, the Leafs can afford Pietrangelo.. The downfall of the cap going up by $4M, means that the Blues can also afford Pietrangelo.

It amazes me how much a Leaf loss is 10X than any other teams' loss.

Tampa lost 4 in a row last week, including to the Leafs. they also loss Stamkos the rest of the year+1st round and it's not a big deal and they will crush the Leafs in 4.

Yeah, but in almost all of those the team on the second night played the night before as well.

Three times in the remaining schedule they play a tired team while also tired. Four times they get to play tired teams on at least one day's rest. They only have to play a rested team while tired twice. In rest terms their remaining schedule is actually slightly favourable.

Get wrecked Jones and Dell

Geez, with a comment like that, you'd think he used to coach the Leafs

Legend

it wont

count on it being 84ish
- senstroll

yup.

i'm guessing 83-83.5M.

they always come out high with their early estimates.

big deal. everyone has the same cap.

the upside of the cap not going up is we won't be able to afford barrie

yup.

Executives are saying the NHL got a lot of heat for last year. They said to expect it to be within range this year they don't want that to happen again.

Yep.

It'll be the $84 they projected unless the PA chooses to use their escalator.


Interesting that there are reports that the league is trying to establish firm cap numbers for the next few years ahead of time during the meetings instead of trying to figure it out on the fly every year.

$4M of the estimated increase is largely out of their control.

NHLPA ultimately determines how much of the 5% inflator they will use.

With 14% escrow, i am guessing somewhere between 0-1% is what they will come in at.

ONE BAZZILLON DOLLARS!

They should have gotten a lot of crap. The cap annoucement came far too late and ended up being less than anyone thought. They need to have that exact cap # set weeks before they did last year.

"team caps are eliminated. the only cap is on individual players. Marner and Doughty have no cap. Nylander cannot make more than $1.5 million per season."

If it goes up 7 million then Lou can afford 2 more 4th line grinders!!!
