Boy there are some truly jaded and callous responses here.
This isn't about cap hit. This may be the moment that you see a great player's career end early. Nobody is missing 2 seasons and a current playoff run just to alleviate a team's cap situation. Anyone missing that amount of time is probably worried they'll never be able to play again, or at least play at the level they were accustomed to.
The joke was funny with Kucherov because it did seem a little convenient, but saying this every time a star player is out long term is getting pretty old. Come up with some new material.
