You'd think it would make teams more active in the summer going forward.
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.
