    It seems like there is a thread going around that if the NHL cap stays at 81.5M, each team will get a free buyout

    Thé situation is totally different this time. Last time when Nhl have authorized that, the contract rule had change. Now since contract rule are 8 years max i don’t think that anyone will get a free buyout. If the cap stay at 81,5millions team will get stuck with their bad contract.

    28 of the 31 teams will all be screwed....NHL will have to do something...The Jets basically would not be able to do the MTL trade here but most teams would not be able to fill out their roster. The NHL will do something...even if its not the 88.2M cap but a 84M or something...

    Cap increase is never a sure thing. The jet will have to managed better like 28 of all other team. There not a team right now that is over 81,5 millions for next year so every single team are supposedly ok. Team with cap space like anaheim or new jersey or Montreal will take cap dump and will received generous compensation for it

    No team is over 81.5 right now cuz they only have 16 players signed or whatever...The Jets will not be over 81.5 if they keep their same team...but they need to improve.

    Yeah like all 31 other team. The cap increase is not a sure thing each year and team who have managed their cap situation badly shouldn’t be able to walk from it.

    You are totally correct that all teams should suck like MTL and with that have loads of cap space.....but as most teams are not like that, the NHL will have to do something as no team will be allowed to only have 19 players on their team. There are currently 7 teams with their cap over 81.5M right now but with LTIR, they are under...

    and? some teams arent going to be able to retain some of their talent. this is why theres parity in the league. it will force teams to trade, this years crop of FA's to get less of the pie, etc.

    Because the jets and few other team have badly managed their roster. The Nhl should do something special just for them? That bullcrap, they should live with their mistake. Their plenty of team that have survive each year with tight cap, Pittsburgh, Washington, Chicago have had to trade prospect like tereivanen, and nick leddy to fit under the cap, why there should be a special rule for the jets?

    all these teams were going to have issues due to mismanaging their cap with poor trades or their young guys over producing early.

    I see only toronto and tampa bay being really hurt by that situation all other team can figure out thing with manipulation and maybe small personnel movement. Toronto and Tampa bay have a bunch of players to sign to complete their roster and with a very small cap amount to do it. This will benefits other team who have managed the cap nicely over the past few season. Look at the bruins, they didn’t wait until the last minute to fix their cap situation.

    I agree...but when 50% of the teams are going to be complaining to head office, the NHL will do something about it.

    or tell them to pound sand, there was a major world event that NOBODY saw coming. it is not the NHLs fault the cap will likely remain where it is.

    I don’t know why this bugs me, but they’re called compliance buyouts. Mostly because they’re not free. The teams still have to pay.

    I think the cap should remain flat or only go up like a million or so, I also think the cap should only ever go up by $2 million at most from one season to the next, the chance that it was possibly gonna go up to $88M seemed ridiculous to me though I never thought that was actually going to happen anyway.

    None of these GM'S should be given "get out of jail free cards", they should have to deal with their poor decisions or manage their cap situations more proactively. I feel no sympathy for any of these GM'S, they need to lie in the bed they've made for themselves and that includes the GM of the team I cheer for which is the Jets, Chevy isn't active enough managing this lineup imo.

    There are about 10 teams that automatically have problems...but if any teams what the big names in FA, most teams will go up against the cap.

    basically the OP's team is up against the cap and cant get better so they want a compliance buyout to make room for a free agent so they can get better. This is why drafting and developing is so important.
