If Keith and Smith waited till playoffs and then came back then I could see your point. Imagine thinking a couple of 40 year olds retiring is cap circumvention 
Pretty sure SJS had to pay out Kane. Not sure why they didn’t get hit with a cap penalty. He was a free agent though. Not sure how the oilers are circumventing the cap there.
Oilers are icing a cap compliant team. The Knights are not |
Wait, Smith retired? I missed that. I thought he just suddenly became unfit to play, even after playing right up until the end the season before.
