Thread: Ducks Clear the Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>It literally doesnt count against the upper limit of the cap? like I do not get how you dont understand that at this point, its either stupidity, ignorance or both

Keslers cap will not count against the Ducks upper limit this season or next unless he is deemed fit to play (which is pretty much impossible at this point)

The Ducks could go out and sign someone at a 6M AAV if they wanted and not need to trade any cap to make it fit. Keslers would move to the LTIR and essentially negate it. It doesnt actually remove it and he still gets paid but it wouldnt count against the upper limit should the Ducks exceed that</div></div>

Yeah 100% true, LTIR doesnt remove it but it allows a team to spend over the upper limit, in this case 81.5M. The Ducks have no reason to move any asset to shed cap as they do not need cap space with Keslers deal moving to the LTIR and no longer affecting the upper limit threshold
