NHL各チーム、オフシーズンの過ごし方を考える（パート1）

プレーオフ敗退チームと、出場できなかったチームの原因を探っていくのが、今回の記事の主な内容です。この記事のユニークな点は、各チームのサラリー・キャップの運用状況を横目で睨みながら、どのようにチーム強化をしていくべきかを考察していることです。

CapFriendly: The Faulk trade also cleared $1.7M in cap space for the #Canes, who we now display at $500k over the upper limit.

This is however with a roster of 25. They'll have no trouble getting below the upper limit once their roster is finalized (max size is 23)

why we cant pay jeff skinner (yet)

ok kiddos listen up, the trade deadline is February 25th this year. soooo we gotta wait til Febuary 26th to sign Jeff bc he was signed off of UFA status for one year. the deadline has to pass for one reason: time

if we signed him today there is only 2.3 mil in cap space with no major contracts expiring this year besides Pomminville (who I dot see being traded bc hes a great veteran leader but not putting up points as well as he should so idk)

also: we cant sign him because he would only be eligible for a 7 year contract. if we wait just a few more months we can get him for 8 years to play with jack and maybe start a strong few years for us poor poor fans who have suffered

take this with a grain of salt bc I'm not that smart and could be missing something big

AM I THE ONLY ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT CAP SPACE????

[hockeyknowitall]

What happens if a team goes over the salary cap? Do they have a luxury tax like in baseball?

From what I can tell it’s very complicated and does not include a luxury tax. First of all, going over the salary cap blatantly is impossible the League has to approve of every contract or trade you make and they will not approve a contract that makes the team non compliant. So that kind of thing just won’t happen. However, if a team knowingly tries this, the league can still suspended those involved including the license of the players agent if it’s decided he knew what was happening.

 But there’s the idea of circumventing the rules and I don’t know what a good example of this is. but if a team somehow circumvents the cap rules the punishments can be any or any mixture of the following:

1. a fine of 1 million to 5 million dollars taken directly from next years salary cap.

2. The player can get fined anywhere from 250,000 to 1 million dollars 

3. the team forfeits draft picks

4. the team forfeits  the games in which they were circumventing the cap

5. the team gets audited 

6. The contract that put them over gets voided

7. Suspending the employees who were involved in the contract.
