2020 Moves

12 of the 20 starters are on entry level deals or almost league minimum and still only 1.3mil in cap space?

Some stuf that’s really off here. One for the millionth time hank doesn’t have a recapture fee. 2nd highly doubt he retires (but let’s says for this he does. 3. If we trade for Brodie is notttt what we’re looking for.. we’re looking for a top LD. 4. If we do get another LD the most they’d do with deangelo is a bridge deal which would be in the range of 3.5-4 mil because they have nils coming. 5.u didn’t even sign lemieux. 6. These lines are awful

Minnesota isn't moving 9 overall unless they get an actual top 6 center (not Strome).

All together now. If Hank retires, he has a Zero cap hit. No money retained.

So why did Vancouver get the Cap recapture penalty when Roberto Luongo retired? Was there a change in the recent (July 2020) CBA extension?
In the scenario of Hank retiring, Hank was paid an AAV of 9 million for 6 years (54 million) & NYR had a CAP HIT of 8.5 per year. (51 Million for 6 years) So if he retried NYR would obviously not be obligated to pay him the 5.5 on the last year of his deal, but NYR would need to make that number whole for surpassing his CAP # by 500 K per year. At least, those were the rules in the last CBA. I see a lot of people saying no recapture with a Hank retirement, but nothing that explains why.
Is there a vetted article or an amended CBA note, that im missing ?
Man i'd be pissed if i was Vancouver.
