Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 say good-bye to the 2022 Karpat-Canucks Juho Lammikko Jesse Puljujarvi reunion we were all dreaming of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 So the Oilers are at $85M on the cap with Yamamoto and McLeod to re-sign. Something has gotta give there, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shekky Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 probably a sign and trade honestly they are up against the cap and Puljujarvi has asked for a trade again from the rumours going around about him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably looking at their roster and trying to see if they can do the Tampa Bay maneuver and put somebody on LTIR. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Klefbom's LTIR and Smith's potential for retirement/LTIR that could potentially give them an additional $6.4M. They only have 19 players signed so it will be difficult for them in any event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 3M$ for a 0.4PPG player, no wonder the Oilers have no depth and cap problem. Geez, the guy is a bust, trade him for a 4th rounder and move on Holland. Does he really think he'll get any value in return for him or that he will finally figure things out at the NHL level? This ship has sailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ship has sailed. I think they can get some value but it all seems strange. Why sign a RFA to 3M just to trade him? They could have traded him as is and let the next team negotiate a potentially longer deal if they want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not claiming it is a bonus. The simple fact is that Klefbom's salary of $4,167,000 and Smith's salary of $2,200,000 are included in the Oiler's projected Cap Hit of $85,431,333. This currently means they are over the Salary Cap of $82.5M by $2,931,333. If Smith does retire his salary will come off the $85,431,333 and their Cap hit would then be $83,231,333. If Klefbom is placed on LTIR prior to the start of the season, as expected, the Oilers would be able to exceed the Cap by up to $4,167,000 as long as he remains on LTIR. This is no different than the situation with Micheal Ferland on the Canucks where the Canucks currently show in excess of the Cap by $2.75M but will become Cap compliant when they place Ferland on LTIR prior to the start of the season. Training-Camp Equation Example The league upper limit is $69M. A team has an averaged club salary of $71M and a player with a cap hit of $5M ($5M cap hit, $0 in performance bonuses) becomes injured and the team places him on LTIR. The LTIR relief pools are calculated as follows: Team cap hit = $71M ACSL = $71M - $5M = $66M LTIR relief: Base salary relief pool: $5M Performance bonus pool: $0 Once the team operates above $66M, they have $5M in salary relief, and $0 in performance bonus relief pools. When using the training camp formula, 100% of the relief pools are used when the player is initially placed on LTIR. https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq#exceed-limit-estimation 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 3.0 is less than last year's cap hit of 3.4. Maybe it's a sign and trade but it's still too much. I wish them luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
