What should they have done with Kucherov facing season long injury? Anticipate he would be recovered 2 weeks to 2 months earlier than scheduled and field a team that’s $9M under the cap all year? And then go without Stamkos for a lot of the season as well?

As I said: it was within the rules - the rules need to change. I feel every team should have to have a roster that fits under the salary cap for any game - regular season and playoffs included.
If that was the case, Tampa would have had to trade some players before Kucherov came back - likely for pennies in the dollar since teams would have know they were desperate to make room for Kucherov. They could have had to give up some of their depth that was a real factor for them in their cup run.
