TheRussianRocket. Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 @mirtle: Salary cap will exceed $70-million at that number... RT @ChrisBottaNHL: Source: NHL revenue approx $3.7 billion this season. @mirtle: @BrokenBellSprts @ChrisBottaNHL no - I've got it around $70.6-million @mirtle: NHL's cap could well rise $6-million+ both this summer and next, hitting $76-million by 2015-16. Floor would be about $20-mil less. @ProHockeyTalk: Report: NHL revenue at $3.7 billion, salary cap could exceed $70 million http://t.co/lZZQvLcpLq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 With the cap potentially reaching $90 million by as early as 2019/2020 I laugh in the face of some of these people who claim Garrison and Edlers contracts are oh so terrible. Benning, be smart lock in our youth as fast as possible to as solid of a contract as possible because $4.6 million last season was a lot, in 4 years it will be a bargain!

Xbox Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Honestly the cap should never change it should just be a static 70M. The poorer teams with internal cap struggles get wrecked and that's the whole point of the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine 2 or 3 solid years with NO Canadian teams in the playoffs. Wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsedin33 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 It really doesn't matter, all it really means is the FA's will get more money, and it will all be relative. Sure the cap will be bigger, but the players will make more, it won't translate into getting a better team, there is only so much talent to go around.

Half...really? Not to be rude but I strongly suggest you erase last year for Edler and the entire team, and then do a search of D men with comparable or higher cap hits for production and then make that claim again. even now they're almost a bargain at their cap hits.

Edler was also absolutely horrible the season before last. Any way you slice it, -39 in a partial season is not worth $5 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY Edler is terrible at -39 we get it Heff, drop it already. Don't at all mention how +/- is an indicator of the entire team, just lay it at edlers feet entirely. not blowout games, poor partner planning or horrible coaching. As for the prior year, you of course mean the lockout shortened year where again the entire team suffered and edler still was on pace for a 40+ point season All Edler, Edler sucks....what about the other 20+ people on the team? Seriously man for all the good you say i might just block or ignore you for your Edler hate. It is endless founded on literally nothing and is honestly kinda childish. If he's potting 40+ point seasons again regularly with a dependable line mate all of a sudden his $5 million is bargain in comparison and you bloody well know it. Stop using last year as a one off because it's really getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop using last year as a one off because it's really getting old. Except for the fact that EVERY SINGLE OTHER CANUCKS DEFENSEMAN managed to post a much better +/-. A $5 million defenseman shouldn't need a babysitter just to make him an NHL player. Every other defenseman managed under Torts. What makes #23 such a special snowflake? You seem to blame everyone EXCEPT Edler. At what point does it stop being everyone elses fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbanks Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 edler racks up just over 1 hit a game as a 6'3" Dman as an offensive Dman his points have fallen way off and hes a career minus player and has a bad back... that just screams 5+ mill .. jason garrison even worse about .7 hits per game... you take away 1 good year he had in florida no one would pay him over 3 mill at best..seabrooke & keith combined 11.5 cap hit garrison and edler 9.6 these 2 guys are half the players keith and seabrooke are yet are only 2 mill less of a cap hit but thats the difference between a winning franchise and a losing franchise. kane and toews making 6.5 mill sedins making 7... hamhuis is 100% a defensive defenceman he got 5 goals 17 assists + 13 , to edlers 7 goals 15 assists -39 edler is our highest payed Dman is probably 4th/5th best Dman.

spook007 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Cap will go up and up...no problem. The problem really starts when they start to slash the cap like last summer, thus penalizing the teams that actually spend to the limit. Nucks got screwed last year because of that...

A good GM should leave some flexibilty, or "outs" in their roster, in case of this happening. If you want to be a bad GM spending like a drunken sailor, emulate Nonis. Poor leafers need about TEN BUYOUTS! (bwahahahah...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with flexibility, however don't believe the total balls up with Schneider/Luongo wouldn't have happened, if we hadn't been screwed by the cap reduction. It was extremely unfair, and one of the issues for which MG couldn't legislate. (That MG dragged it on forever didn't help matter, when everybody knew Luongos days were numbered...)

Bahh, I was pizzed too, but in the end the whole turn of events simply expedited our rebuild-urgency. We've already got some nice young pieces, with TL & JB calling the shots now...
