For some reason, I don't think the Devils will leave today's game with zero penalties like they did yesterday.

It's not a matter of if but how many.

Guaranteed the Oilers will get at least 5 or 6 McPPs, especially if they're down by a goal, or if the game is tied in the 3rd.

The Oilers will start the game on the PP.

The Devils are shorthanded an average of 3.28 per game this season.

Since they were shorthanded 0 times yesterday, they will need to be on the PK 7 times today to balance it out.

Cap projected to go up 5% ($87,675,000) next season, meanwhile, the Oilers will get none of that with the Neal buyout $ and Brown’s accrued 3.25m bonus. And that’s not even adding in the potential Campbell buyout if they can’t get out of that contract prior to the end of July 1st.

I still think it's hilarious that James Neal continues to eat almost $2 million of their cap, even next year.

Well done James. Ultimate troll job complete!

Next year:

Neil: $1.916M (buyout)
Brown: $3.225M (bonus overage)
Campbell: $3.850M (buried penalty)

Total: $8.991M of dead space

Add Nurse to that, and that's $18.241M, and all you have is a mid-pairing defenseman to show for it

Everyone always neglects to mention the bonuses that are also owed to Holloway and Broberg. $650k for Holloway and $850k for Broberg for an additional $1.4 million against next years cap. Both will be paid as both players made opening night roster.

Neil: $1.916M (buyout)
Brown: $3.225M (bonus)
Holloway: $650k (bonus)
Broberg: $850k (bonus)
Campbell: $3.85M (buried)

$10.391 million spent on absolutely nothing.

That's not accurate. Both players are on their ELCs, and entry-level performance bonuses are much harder to earn than veteran bonuses. You can't just get your bonuses by showing up for a few games, you have to actually do something.

There are a variety of categories to qualify for. Some are basic counting stats like a minimum of 20 goals scored. Others are team ranking, like top 3 in +/- among all forwards on the team with a minimum of 42 games played. Also, a player can only earn a quarter of his potential bonuses in any one category. So, you have to perform in 4 different categories to maximize your bonuses.

This page has a breakdown of the various categories: https://puckpedia.com/salary-cap/ent...rmance-bonuses


At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Holloway or Broberg will achieve the minimums for any of the categories to earn any performance bonuses.

I'm assuming the Kane hit from behind never even got reviewed by DOPS?

He didn't even get TWO MINUTES for it, much less a DOPS review...
