Larry Brooks writes that there's a good chance the NHL salary cap may not increase next season. Canadian dollar taking a pretty steep dive is definitely having an impact on NHL revenues.

I still can't believe Montreal traded for him ??? Waste of locker space.

The Hawks will be in deep trouble if the salary cap stays where it is.

I am okay with this. Just don't look at my team's current cap situation.

A lot of teams will be, honestly. Teams like the Pens and Bruins are tight right now, but have a good amount of FAs after this year. The Bruins may be selling cheap on some talent though: Cap geek projects them to have $12M in space (w/ cap at $69M), which is fine and dandy...except that Torey Krug and Dougie Hamiliton are coming off of their ELCs.

Man, there are lot of FAs going in to next year just by looking around the capgeek pages. That said, it's November and extensions happen.

Yay. Really, how many times a year can you scratch in order to get a couple decent efforts from him when you let him return?

He was a line killer too.

 

[pixburgher66]

Oh man, looking at the Hawks situation right now. Signed for next year: 9 F, 4D, 2G. Cap space w/ proj $69M cap? $3.2M. Oh, and that Saad guy is coming off of his ELC. Even looking at their non-NHL roster guys that could potentially save them money, many are RFAs next year. Terravainen will definitely be full time since he's a $894K hit. Still, that brings them to 10F and $2.3M left. Yeah, they have work to do.

Honestly, the Oilers would be wise to pick him up, Rene's best years were in his home province of Alberta.

Maybe Calgary can add him for some depth, then?

Nope, in the immortal words of Austin Powers, "that train has sailed".

I'm glad Ron Hextall is with the Flyers now, their cap situation will look better going forward because if the young d-men develop, those are two or three guys that will have ELC deals and that will really help matters
