Thread: I challenge you to make a better team under the cap

LOL are you serious? Do you watch hockey? You can only dress 20 players a night and Im not going to make a team with healthy Scratches thank you very much, So How about you take your innacurate comments elsewhere. :)</i></div></div>

What? I don't even know where to start.

You can dress as many players as you want as long as you are under the cap. Scratches take the ice, the pre-game skate and are dressed all the way until the puck drops.

Why?

What if someone gets injured during the warm up? Or gets injured during a long road trip during a back-to-back game situation. Think that farm call-upis going to be 100% at a moments notice flying 6 hours across North America?

You need at least one extra player and that extra player has to fit under the cap.

All teams carry at least 21 players under the cap. Most 22 or 23.

Once the puck drops, yes, 20 man roster. But up until then you need the insurance of "healthy scratches".

Thread: The Rob Scuderi Conundrum
DD and Stormm: Let's take a look at some recent other successful teams caps.
Top 5 players on each team. Hawks 38m, Pens 37m, Rangers 34m, Boston 33m, Kings 30m, Tampa 29m.
You know by reading Armchair GM the amount of effort it is by Chicago &amp; Ranger "teams" to get under the cap. Boston had to trade RFA Hamilton for just draft picks, partly because his 5.6m salary (which he received from Calgary) would have impeded other signings.
I was singling out any player, but I tried to say, " collectively.....the Penguins top 5 salaries are collectively are high, which impedes their secondary signings."
Regarding Lunquist.....he might be the best Ranger in the past few years, but to make 8.50m a year when the next goalie makes 7.425 a year, gee Price only makes 6.5m, seems very high. See how the Lunquist contract looks in 2021 when Lunquist is 39 years old. Good luck to him, but it might be a drain on the Ranger as there is
no "cap" relief for players over the age 35. Geez, his contract (not necessarily his play) is a strain on the Rangers cap now.
