Thread: Kane at deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CEO</b></div><div>Wait how did you calculate that?</div></div>

If theres 186 days in the season (146 before TDL, 40 after TDL - these values were found from the trade machine tab in capfriendly - I'm not sure if they are completely accurate with the 22-23 schedule but if not then it's a good ballpark estimate), then you can average the daily cap hits over each day and set it equal to the 82.5M cap

If you have 3M in cap space that means you have a 79.5M cap hit for 146 days

146/186*79.5M+40/186*(After TDL cap hit)=82.5M
Then rearrange to get:
After TDL cap hit = 93.45M

Which is 13.95M higher than the pre-TDL cap hit of 79.5M

This is all assuming no LTIR is used and they have the same cap hit every day before the TDL and the same cap hit every day after the TDL

Good point. It’s good to remember that not everybody knows everything you do. Some of us watch our home team and don’t really know the players on other teams beyond what their stats show. Some of us live in non-traditional hockey markets where we don’t get much analysis from the local media, so we come to places like this site for that. I’ve been crazy about hockey, especially at the NHL level, for a long time, but I hate it when people post analytics without explaining the point they’re trying to make with them. I wouldn’t over-explain everything, but I don’t think it hurts to include some additional information even if most of the people on this site already know it.

The question Senators fans should be asking about DeBrincat is not whether he’s good but whether he’ll stick around. He has one year left on his current contract. Then Ottawa will need to offer him a one-year, $9M contract to retain his rights if they don’t sign him to an extension first. If he accepts that offer, then I believe he can become an unrestricted free agent the following summer, or he could turn it down and go to arbitration with a similar result, so Ottawa is only guaranteed two years of his services, and if he wants to go somewhere else after that, there’s nothing they can do to stop him. Chicago would have been in the same situation if they had kept him. Their rebuild horizon is more than two years, which is why they were willing to give up a young 2-time 40 goal scorer who seems like an ideal player to build around. The trade was not as lopsided as it appears.
