Take it easy man. Care to explain why Vegas has 8+ mil in cap space right now?
Bc they have Stone & Lehner on LTIR
Putting 14.5mil on LTIR didn’t open up $28mil in Cap space
It simply gives them the option to be able to add $8mil in Cap bc with them on LTIR their Cap is down to around $73mil
VGK is already using some of the $14.5mil in relief from taking them off the active roster & putting them on LTIR
If we were to send them Bishop, it doesn’t give them an additional $5mil in Cap space
Don’t believe me….
Make a VGK acgm for this year & do NOTHING to it
You’ll see they have just under $9mil in available Cap Space
Now trade Bishop to them for nothing
Now they have just under $4mil in Cap space
Move him to LTIR and they are right back to having the EXACT SAME Cap Space they had before they acquired him
Again, this isn’t that difficult, just a bit complicated to figure out the fine points
But the bottom line is that adding Bishop doesn’t create more Cap Space for a team
Take 5min to learn a bit more about how LTIR works bud
That’s the best explanation i can give ya
