My take:

- Smith and Neal never play another NHL game. Or Neal starts maybe and is munching popcorn most of the season. Both have hit their Wideman status.

- No way the cap is going to the number that has been said, or it is taking a dive after next season. There won't be fans paying for tickets probably all next season, and are they going to move to a PPV model somehow?

- I can see NHL allowing 3 buyouts again if the cap is regressing. Neal, Smith and maybe caveman. Still will put Oilers up against a lower cap.

- Can't trade your way out of this one. No one wants to move to Edmonton if this is going on. Need to focus on the draft and pray you get lucky.

Anyways, looking forward to Spector's next book. "COVID the pandemic that robbed a city of a dynasty". Chapter 1 - The Play In Fix is In.

Makes for good reading around a campfire in Leduc.
