Description

I personally believe this season, with the taxi squad, teams close to the cap will try to manipulate it by carrying 20 or 21 players and a full 6 player taxi.

Since the taxi squad travels as well, teams like VGK could put a higher paid fringe guys on waivers to try and get them through over the cheaper waiver eligible players. And then play the yo-yo game.
