There are not a lot of teams that are vulnerable right now because of the rising cap but a few teams like the Stars are constantly at or over the cap. They are going to have a similar problem next year if they give Robertson a big contract.

I would argue that the Pens also did it when they acquired Connor Clifton from the Sabres. They received a 2nd round pick as a sweetener and only sent back Timmins (cheaper, but comparable to Clifton) and former 5th round selection that was playing in the ECHL. It's funny that the Sabres actually needed the cap space considering how bad they were.
