You set it too high

85 is too high itll be between 83-83.5

3 roster spots short under paying kappy and johnson

Cap is too high and you need 3 scratches

Right or wrong when the Leafs made Tavares the second highest paid player and now Matthews the second highest paid, some other pieces are going to have to move to fit 23 man roster in a 83m cap

Sparks makes no more than 800 k, no on Ennis (Bracco should take his place) Ron Hainsey is probably gone in favour of Rosen and Oz (975k) on the bottom pair, give Marner 10 mill over 6 years, that should make him happy, probably 3 mill for Kapanen, 2 mill for Johnsson, and yes you'll be under the cap even if its 83 mill.

On the CAP I think I set it too low. I am expecting $7 Million per year per club or $3.5 more in Cap space due to Gambling.

>> The National Hockey League’s (NHL) annual revenue may increase by $216 million annually due to widely available, legal, regulated sports betting, according to a new Nielsen Sports study commissioned by the American Gaming Association (AGA). <

On the Roster spots you can choose to Carry only 20. With the Marlies in town next year, it is expected the team will carry 20. And on the road maybe 21.

-- Prior to the start of the season, each Club must submit to the NHL its "Opening Day Playing Roster" which shall be comprised of not more than 23 players. Each Club must have a roster of at least 20 players, composed of 18 skaters and two goaltenders. Players on Injured Reserve do not count in the 23-man limit. --

My reason to keep Hainsey is to train Zeitsev. O returns to the KHL to a big pay raise.

No one is taking Z without a retention or an asset so we need to fix him. Playing him with Gards is an obvious day-in-day-out mistake.
