If the Cap Significantly Drops and Each Team Gets 2 CBOs

haha I literally just posted a similar thing maybe 1 minute after this.... I think the cap will go down 10% unless they can get everyone on board for the playoffs. even with the playoffs it still probably drops 5million.

If we get to CBO two contracts it should definitely be Vlasic and Jones. Burns has way more value than Vlasic and can be traded much easier. But that defense you have their makes me want to keep Burns on board cause that D would be full of holes.

I'd imagine if the cap is going to drop due to this pandemic, players would be asked to have their contracts clawed back by the same amount. Otherwise its going to hurt teams up against the cap who don't have any bad contracts. Its not their fault this happened and it couldn't planned for. San Jose has a tonne of garbage contracts while TO has none but would be hugely affected by a drop in the cap. I doubt the league would be able to drop it without the NHLPA agreeing to clawing back their wages as well. Which I doubt would happen, a flat cap is far more likely.

Maybe you'll get lucky and you can buyout 4 contracts.

Sadly Doug is in love with our lovely defensemen. He would probably end up buying out Meier, Couture, Jones and Hertl so he can sign more defensemen to insane deals that further cripple the team.
