Hibbs, you are absolutely right, and other teams are the same situation. Even if the cap goes up, it will mean the eight remaining players will have to average about $ 800,000 each. So, whoever they bring it doesn't look like a championship or even near championship team.

1. Cap will go up at least 2 million.
2. Most of those remaining spots should be filled by ELCs anyway (Pouliot, Sprong, Sheary, Murray, Sundqvist, Simon)

Really not a huge concern.

First, who says the cap will go up? Russia and Canada's currency are in the shitter, those are large markets for the NHL. It may raise for inflation, but 2 million is really optimistic.

And second, then how does the team above differ any from the team we have on the ice now? The non-playoff team. All of those players are a year older and a year slower. And you are depending on literally the worst prospect pool in hockey to fill 6 or 7 gaps?

So glad you aren't concerned. Good for you.

Oh. And that is also IF they are even still around. Anyone really believe that Rutherford won't trade what prospects we have for another ill-advised, pipe dream of a playoff push?

History says he does. So there is also that.

Not 100% but I believe the CBA mandates a minimum 5% increase.

That "worst prospect pool" has one of the best records in the AHL (and that team doesn't even have Sprong). If you're so worried about how old most of our team is, shouldn't you want some of those young, fast players on the roster??

Say what you will about GMJR, but he assembled a team that should be a cup contender this year. It's not his fault that at different times Crosby/Malkin/Kessel/Horny/Kunitz/Bonino/Perron have not lived up to their typical production.
