Taylor Hall

If the cap goes up, how do any of those free agents sign for that little

Hall gets 9M. Ennis gets a lot more than 1.2M on a one year deal.

Basically most of the contracts you signed are very optimistic.

Russell's contract is bad. He's gonna cost assets to move out.

The only one that makes a little sense is Athanasiou.

The cap isn't going up. I thought that was well established.

Did you read the Team Explanation?


Yes, showing that obtaining Hall is unrealistic, something I wanted to illustrate.



No it isn't. He only makes $1.5M next year, there are teams that have had their budgets hit hard that will want value players who aren't getting paid much in cash - teams that don't care about the cap hit because they aren't spending to the cap anyways. The Kings aren't necessarily that team, but I engineered this trade for two reasons: Kings HC Todd McLellen loves Russell, and @kingsfaninSD hates Kris Russell. And no, I don't think Russell will get a 3rd from any team, I just threw that in to get a reaction.
