Tampa has 2 guys over $9 mil just added a 3rd in point and stamkos is close to $9 mil.
Stamkos probably isn’t worth his deal anymore either. It’s usually the $3 to $6 mil players stuck on you 3rd and 4th lines that kill your cap not your best players
Also drafting poorly kills your cap. See oilers off season. They have only graduated a handful of guys to their roster in last 3 or so years so. Bear was one and now they traded him for more than likely a more expensive depth forward. Mcdavid and Leon’s contracts aren’t killing them it’s everyone else
Eichel contract is fine so is Johnny and Tkachuk. Flames will be fine with high price talent as long as guys like zary Pelletier cornato dube valimaki develope. Even if we trade a couple we shouldn’t need top line talent. Just depth
