If they dont win it all this year they're going to have to burn the thing to the ground next year anyways just to field a team....so you might as well pay him.

If the cap goes up by about $4 million next year, Kenny has already spent most of the increase with this "performance" bonus.

And I think that $4M number is hugely optimistic.

Theres a few factors that might, and thats a mighty man-sized 'might,' make the cap go up by $4m...

[MrMike]

Add Campbells buy out and they will already be behind in cap next year AND still be paying 2m for James Neals buyout

Holloway and Broberg each got bonuses for making opening night roster, so with Brown's added to it the potentoal bonus overage is $4.725 million

[FlamesAddiction]

The cap overages next season for bonuses are the total overages, minus the cap space they have left this season, which is very small, but they do have a little. They could potentially find a way to dump salary this season to get more cap space and avoid having to take the hit next season.

It's not cheap to get a team to take a cap dump though, and there are only a few teams that can actually do that this year.

Using the new formula for calculating the cap that was put in place post-COVID, the cap is guaranteed to go up roughly 5% per year for the foreseeable future.

Last year's revenue was expected to be around $5.7 billion, which means next year's cap should be around $102.4 million, but they put a cap of 5% on year-over-year increases, so it can only go up by a little over $4 million to around $87.5 million.

16 games in and cup lock oilers still haven’t beat a .500+ team.

[direwolf]

Haha, stupid Oilers!

[btimbit]

Just keep playing McDavid 23+ minutes a night when he's injured, it's working out great

[PuckSlap]

Why do they keep saying that they are most likely to win the cup?

I'm starting to worry about Celebrini's NHL career.......

[FormerPresJamesTaylor]

Don't think I've seen a player look as lost killing a penalty as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins did on Tampa's tying goal.

Hope this road trip is the final nail in the coffin

Derek Ryan: 2G 0A, +2.

McDavid & Draisaitl: 0G 0A, -2 each.

Ryan played less than half as many minutes as either of the golden boys.
