Yeah that's quite a big change. Here's a summary from what I gathered:
- 20 man playoff roster has to be cap compliant for each game
- Healthy scratches and injured players don't count
- The full player cap-hits are used
- The only way to reduce a cap-hit is via retention
- Double retention is eliminated
- Takes Effect in the 26' playoffs
I think this would make retention and retention slots a sought-after commodity. Hopefully the fact that Andersson is a bargain will net the Flames some great assets.
