Cap Situation Around the NHL - Early Free Agency Frenzy Edit

[bigoljetairliner]

Cap Situation Around the NHL - Early Free Agency Frenzy Edition:



As we are all continuing to wonder where or if Connor Hellebuyck or Mark Scheifele will be traded this off-season, thought I would take a look at the salary cap situation around the NHL after the initial free agency period has lapsed.



At this point, here is the list of available cap space, from most to least. This includes the number of players currently counting against the cap (players signed), the amount of unsigned restricted free agents, and empty slots in a standard NHL roster (23 players). If a team is up against the cap, the roster is cut down to the minimum of 13F/7D/2G (22 players).   It assumes that the RFAs will be signed, so team needs are above and beyond those signings.  Also, if a team "needs nothing" that doesn't mean that they don't have a desire to improve certain positions, all it means is they have a body for each of the forward, defense, & goalie slots on a standard NHL roster.



ANAHEIM:                  $29,873,333 w/ 17 players signed, 4 RFAs unsigned, and need another F/D

CHICAGO:                  $17,965,710 w/ 19 players signed, 1 RFA unsigned, and need another 3D

NASHVILLE:               $7,929,135 w/ 23 players signed, 0 RFAs unsigned, and need nothing

TAMPA BAY:               $2,979,167 w/ 21 players signed, 1 RFA unsigned, and need another F

CAROLINA:                $2,520,583 w/ 23 players signed, 0 RFA unsigned, and need nothing *+ $7.75M for a chunk of the regular season (Svechnikov)

CALGARY:                  $2,400,000 w/ 19 players signed, 0 RFAs unsigned, and need another 3F

TORONTO:                 -$3,206,450 w/ 23 players signed, 1 RFA unsigned, and need nothing

Philadelphia:  2 players @ $12.125M
Montreal:  1 player @ $10.5M

Still looking for a team to sign him as a UFA.  Hopefully won't be the Jets.

I saw some positives from him last year. By the the end of the season he used his size well and played a fairly sound defensive game. He began to be an aggitator and be "unpleasant" to play against. I guess he didn't do enough to stick around.
