An interesting wrinkle to this has been provided by Elliotte Friedman on the radio just now: if another team offer-sheets a player during the season, and the rights-holding team matches, the cap hit for the rights-holding team would NOT be prorated.
So, if it's October 13 and Tkachuk signs a 5 x $8.2 m offer sheet that Calgary matches, his cap hit for 2019–20 would remain @ $8.2 m.
