You know, you're probably 100% right but it's frustrating as hell watching other teams continually get away with the crap they pull.
I mean we just got burned directly by it.
San Jose should still be dealing with the $7 million cap hit they had for Kane. Instead, it's gone and they used that cap space to easily extend Hertl.
Meanwhile, the oilers are allowed to sign Kane, while they were circling the drain and looking like they'd miss the playoffs, to a fricken pro rated $2.1 AAV contract and the guy puts up 22 goals in 43 games (40 goal pace) and has so far scored 12 goals in 12 playoff games.
It's absolutely sickening to me.
