Salary Cap Mode: Basic

First off I'm not 100% certain on LTIR and how that affects a teams ability to accrue cap space but I read the Capfriendly FAQs and this is my understanding of how it works

After the Domi trade EDM will run a 21 man roster with a cap hit of $81,236,500 and have an ACSL of $82,499,833, meaning they will be accruing that difference until the deadline. Im going to approximate TDL cap space by breaking the season into 3 parts: before Domi trade, After Domi trade but before TDL, and after TDL

Before Domi Trade (A): For the first 18 days of the season EDM has very little cap space, im going to approximate this as $0 accrued (they actually should be accruing a little but so im underestimating here)

After Domi trade but Before TDL (B): For the next 125 days in the season EDM trades for Domi 50% retained and also moves out Foegele. This puts them at a cap hit of $81,236,500 and have an ACSL of $82,499,833. For an approximation im going to say they accrue cap by being 1.25M under their ACSL for this period (again im underestimating how much they are accruing)

After TDL (C): For the final 42 days EDM will be able to spend the money they accrued from the previous 125 days and use it to acquire Jakob Chychrun. See below for calculation

Post-TDL cap hit calculation:
A = Pre Domi Trade Cap Hit (excluding LTIR) = 82.5M - 0 = 82.5M
B = Post Domi Trade Cap Hit (excluding LTIR) = 82.5M - 1.25M = 81.25M
C = Post TDL Cap Hit (excluding LTIR) = ?

A*18/185+B*125/185+C*42/185=82.5M
C = (82.5M-A*18/185-B*125/185)*185/42 = (82.5M-82.5M*18/185-81.25M*125/185)*185/42 = 86.2M

So they need to make sure they dont exceed an average of 86.2M cap hit for the last 42 days of the season (excluding LTIR). With the Chychrun trade it puts them at $85,836,500 so they should be fine and actually could have some space left over for performance bonuses to limit carryover to next season
