Jared, try hard to concentrate and understand how the cap works.

Sometimes the total contracts of a teams players exceeds the upcoming year’s salary cap limits. This can happen as a result of late season/TDL acquisitions as teams have players on LTIR so they go out replace those players. When the next season rolls around… ooops they have too much on the books. Things such as performance bonuses can make the situation even worse because if a team doesn’t have the cap space available in the year they are earned, they automatically transfer to the next season as “carryover bonuses”, in Boston’s case these bonuses count $4.5m towards their 2023/2024 cap.

Now, teams can’t ignore the cap, they have to be compliant or face league discipline. In order to make sure they compliant for the upcoming season they had to let certain players walk as free agents (Bertuzzi, Orlov etc). Despite those tough decisions the Bruins still needed to free up more space, they achieved that by trading Hall and the negotiating rights to Foligno to a team that had cap space available and saw value in the player… Chicago. Boston didn’t make this move because they don’t believe Hall has value, they made the move because they HAD TO in order to be cap compliant.

The Bruins probably would have loved to keep Hall and potentially traded him at the trade deadline to help restock their draft capital however, they couldn’t wait to move him because they HAVE TO BE CAP COMPLIANT at the start of the season.

So read slow, go through two or three times if you have to, move your lips while reading if it helps… you will eventually get it, I have faith in you!
