Description

apparently the cap could stay flat up to 4 years so escrow to rebuild
I think that basically just solidifies Makar and his agent taking a 3 year bridge deal so they can plan a mega contract once the cap can rebound

Use the little cap space that saves them in a flat cap in an attempt to keep Saad (give him same deal that Tofolli got), if the cap is ineed to be flat for that long, best thing the Avs can do is try to run it back and bring in their ELC young guys

saad's been decent but a 4 year deal isn't very appealing. not huge on jost being the 3c either. the rest looks good.

thats just a long term contract haha, its just based on that conf call that bettman said the cap could be flat up to 4 years. Could go up in year 3 as well so try to time it from his agents perspective
