BigTramFan Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 1 minute ago, lmm said: I have to say, that I do not understand "banking" cap space I thought that was not actually possible. but otherwise I agree. Isn't the first day of the season like a "high water mark"? by being as close to the cap as possible + adding LITR gives us a higher "possible cap" if for instance Jim wanted to make a trade for $4M player? "Banking cap space" is essentially being below the $81.5m cap limit by a certain amount. For example, if we could stay $3m below it (on average) for the whole season then we could pay for $3m of performance bonuses without having to pay for them next season. However, with Ferland on LTIR, it is likely that we will be above $81.5m for most of the season and will rely on using LTIR relief. This will preclude us from paying for extra performance bonuses this year (there are exceptions to this but for simplicity I am ignoring these). You are right about a high water mark at the start of the season. That is why JB put our opening roster as close to $81.5m as possible. But we are now past that opening night roster so JB can use the max LTIR relief as required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was eating them with chopsticks. I said "That is bloody brilliant!" He said yes, fingers are clean. But the mouth still gets orange. LOL. Bud, I know Asia has been on choppies forever, but for about 4 years I've been on them for snacks. Doritos, chips, peanuts, those little soya sauce rice crackers with seaweed, it's 100% genius. I dare someone to give it a try and tell me it sucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a stupid quote/belief.

I think at the time some thought we could be below for X number of games then go above late in the season. thanks for the explaination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
