Hard pass on Ward and Johnson. We have younger kids that are better and cheaper.

Am I the only one that think that was a irresponsible statement by Bettman.? It is a about 20% difference between the high and low estimates. If I'm right , the cap would between 72.5m and 88.9m. Thanks a big frigging difference.

We wouldn't get Johnson, Ward or Berra. We traded for Copley again to fill the backup spot assuming we lose Grubauer.

I don't think I'm understanding what you're saying... Are you saying the cap could drop 2.5mil from last year? Because it won't. I've hear 80-82 million in cap next year is the probable figure. 72.5-88.9mil is insane, and would never fluctuate like that.

the beer leaguer. I figured 4.5b divided by 31 takes and the players get 50%. makes 72.5m. (I agree it won't go down.) I thought I read the top would 5.5b hence my 88.9m. Even 5b makes it just under 80 m cap.
The usual thinking was 3% organic growth and about 1.5% in the higher Canadian dollar, is 75 X 4.5% approximately is 78.4.
As long as it's about 90m in 2019/20 when Leafs hope to resign Matthews, Marner, Gardiner, Kapanen and others.
