You'll have to show me where 88.5 was projected at any point in time.

it was either 88 or 88.5

I thought they projected somewhere between $84-88 mil.

my bad it could have been $88.2M sue me

ceiling was 88.2. I was off by .3 in my head

Here

Its not that its 88.2, its that its projected as between 84-88.2. If you were going to do a hypothetical why wouldnt you take the average of 86?

because this is more fun

It's alright dude. I wish it was somewhere near that number. Life would've been simple for the Rangers.

Would have been simpler for most teams. But honestly at this point hockey is hockey. I don't care what the cap is I just want NHL hockey back even if it means the league is in flat cap hell

no it was projected to be between 84 and 88.2, everyone knew 88.2 was a pipe dream that probably only happens if 2 Canadian teams are in the finals. So no it was never going to reach 88.5.

Swap Johnsson for Kerfoot and it’s close.

if If's and But's were candy and nuts...

But it didn't, so all the problems are real

Dude I'm counting down the days till we have games to watch. I'm a huge Rangers fan and cheer for the Lightning (favorite players in Stamkos and McDonagh, plus it was Rangers south for a while), but I love watching the entire league. I figure you can't be 8-9 hours of hockey for 9 days.

That wasn’t a projection. That was the high end. Big difference.

Anyway, we’re not seeing that until 2025.

Sorry man way too much for a rental goalie. Look at what Lehner just got

But it didn't. So... all of this is completely meaningless.
