Cap is going to be flat at 81.5 million right?

If they spend $74-$75 I don't think it matters too much

There are going to be teams that were banking on a cap increase (Tampa)

But if they set it at like $71 million and aren't flexible then they're a joke

Ideal time to land a player you normally wouldn't be able to land. Have to start working on a $72 million roster.

That should be a challenge.

I actually think on some level it's more risky to keep going cheap. You can keep paying low prices (2nds, 3rds, 4ths, b-prospects) for low-risk/high-reward players, but the most likely outcome of that is mediocre results for mediocre players.

If you're doing that, you have to hope that someone like Jason Nightingale can look at the data and identify some misunderstood asset to maximize

If you want an established guy, you pay a premium. Lower risk (short term anyways), no real upside (most of these are at their peak or beyond), and it's a temporary fix.

I've decided to just not care anymore, the Pegulas have officially put me in that group of fans.

I spent more time on this website than I did watching any games after they blew a lead against Tampa

I want them to be good but unless they actually do something that looks like they are trying to improve the team I won't make it a point to watch a game.

Lazar, Thompson, Mittelstadt, Cozens, Borgen, Murray

Risto, Mojo and Montour for picks.

There's a head start. Looking forward to the reed

Just saying

Temporary solution until Cozens is hopefully ready

Sabres interval videos set for low 70s. What a franking joke of an owner. Sell the team.

For those who want to know what this post actually is saying, the article says the Sabres are looking at an internal salary cap in the low-$70M range. So are the Penguins.

The Coyotes may be looking at sub-$70M internal cap.

I'd be fine with that + extending Larsson.

I did one at $75M...gonna revisit that and slash $3M somewhere


Edit: check that, the lowest I got was $76 and change...

I'm going $72.5M which is "lower 70's"

I'd be fine with that + extending Larsson.
- Lunaion

I can go back to last summer when I wanted him here to be a placeholder for Casey

He is a real center

I don't see Larsson staying unfortunately

Gerbe might be right about us getting Stepan.

$6.5M cap hit but owed only $2M cash.

It's hard to sign the RFA's and fill out a team at 75m.

Unless you move someone like Risto for picks and prospects

But we have also read that Pegula is willing to spend for Pietrangelo so what do we believe?

Teri fan pugala isnt going to spend under the limit if we're good.

Big if, but he's all in if were showing promise

Seems like yesterday, when many wanted ERod on a long term deal and he was a proven middle 6 C.

I don't see Larsson back either, in which case they need to replace him or suffer.

Well I'm out.

Better hope Cozens is legit or we're completely (frank)ed

Mojo to... somewhere for a 4th
- jcragcrumple

This year, I think it costs you a 4th (probably more).

Coyotes are absolutely franked.

They are going to have to gut that team.

He’s only due $2.5M in real money this year and has no more bonuses.

Yeah, you can throw basically any improvements out the window with a $72m cap

How much have they lost since taking over the team?

How much will they lose this year even with an internal Cap?
