LTIR - The Training-Camp Equation (from CapFriendly)

The training camp equation can be used on the last day of training camp in preparation for the first day of the season:
ACSL = Team cap hit - LTIR player’s cap hit

Example: The 2018-19 upper limit is $79.5M, on the last day of the off-season a team has a projected cap hit of $78M and places a player with an AAV of $5.5M on LTIR:
Team cap hit = $78M
Player’s cap hit = $5.5M
ACSL = $78M - $5.5M = $72.5M

Edmonton can sign a player or players worth about 6.2 million still and still be under the cap - they are screwed if (once) Sekera comes back though as the cap space money will be weighted by the number of games missed.

Using Edmonton's rough numbers (rounded roughly)
