Let's not forget that Blake, Morrow, Nikishin and Stankoven are RFA after next season. 

 

So probably going to keep 8-10m free, giving 18m to spend. 

You aren't taking into account that the cap is expected to increase 8 or 9 million or so for the 2026-2027 season.

Also NHL cap space doesnt roll over so there is no "saving" cap even if the cap wasn't increasing (which it is) you could still sign players with that money for one year deals  

 

So stop spewing BS cap metrics that you are almost never correct about.

Nothing to do with roll over or any other thing you posted. Fact is Canes will want to sign three of those four. Any big time AAV contracts are going to hurt that 2026 roster which is at 60m spent on 14 players right now. 

 

That's all I meant by it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Its literally an irrelevant point is my point.... you dont have to "save" anything for it because NHL contracts all have an equal yearly breakdown, spending to the cap this offseason even with longer contracts would STILL mean 8.5 to 9.5m in cap space next season not to mention its all of these guys first year of RFA. I'm not really sure what point you trying to make as ive shown that even if you spend the full 30m you still have the buffer you described.

Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season. 

 

I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward. 

 

Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."  

 

But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example. 

 

Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season. 

You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth. 

Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline. 

 

That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms. 

 

Have a wonderful night everyone

Now that makes much more sense....

Feel better dude! 

I suspect they will will be searching for trades early in the offseason though.
