Is there a cap until 2010 is declared uncapped?

If we tag Peppers for the 10/11 season then it goes against the cap in that year. As there will be no cap next year no problem. The only reason the to season overlap in this way is that otherwise player contracts would be up before teams could tag them. So teams have the last part of the season to tag players for next season.

If you cut a player he will count against you in the year you cut him. Therefore you have to have room under this years cap to cut Porter. Miami had not that kind of room.

If tag contracts should fit under this years cap we then had to fit it under the same cap twice and teams would never tag players.

The more I think about it more I think you are correct P55. Peppers contract under last year's tag ended a week or so ago so they only own his rights until March 5. If they were to tag him now and he sign then that contract would take effect immediately and thus it would effect whatever year you are in. Since the new year doesn't begin until March 5 and the last day to tag a player is March 3 there is no way they would tag Peppers and it be approved by the league, without cutting some other salaries first because the other expiring contracts are good through March 4.

I think you picked up on something here that could be very insightful.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
