Teams can usually get pretty close by shuttling guys up and down from the AHL to get as close to the cap as possible, but that's not always enough to get there.
The above quote is from the Smid thread, but it got me thinking -- if Gaudreau isn't signed by opening day (or whatever the 23 man roster cutoff is), the Flames have no chance of being close to the ceiling, right? Wouldn't that mean that any cap benefit from Smid's placement on LTIR would evaporate at that time?

Will cap management considerations for year 1 of what will presumably be a multi-year deal add any more impetus to get a deal signed sooner than later?

This thread has finally taken a turn into the promise land. Keep this gif parade up and I bet Johnny signs Monday morning!

Talking hockey only serves to tear us apart.



The only cure for this wound?

If you think about it, the Starks suck at war. See screenshot of the Battle of the Bastards below for proof.

Spoiler!


It's frankly absurd that they got surrounded so thoroughly and easily. Jon Snow is failing upward harder than Kevin Lowe

Robb Stark never lost a battle.

Jon was baited by Ramsay and put his entire army in danger to save his brother. As tactics go, it's not the worst one.
