Like I said in the year 1 post, we are lacking right-shot defenseman. Seamus Casey: Starts out at a 72 Ovr Med Top 4. At the end of the season he requested a trade so I did just that to move up in the draft to select Seamus Casey. Player salary information via the 2022 Draft I traded Timmins. Historical salary information via USA Today. Salary cap and collective bargaining information via NHL.com and. While the salary cap has improved league parity, it seems to punish successful franchises. Even the most well-managed championship team risks being gutted to remain cap-compliant. Maintaining a Cup champion becomes expensive as players become eligible for substantial raises.
The Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings have all paid the price in varying degrees, losing key players to free agency or trading them in cost-cutting deals. Thanks to cap constraints, every Stanley Cup champion since 2009 has struggled to maintain its roster depth. In today's NHL, however, it's become increasingly difficult to keep a winning lineup intact. Prior to the salary cap, it was easier for free-spending teams to maintain their championship rosters. The Blue Jackets receive a serviceable player in Clarkson while shedding a player they didn't want to keep on LTIR. Horton might never play again, which allows the deep-pocketed Leafs to get cap relief by placing him on long-term injured reserve. The Hockey News' Ken Campbell cited the Toronto Maple Leafs trading David Clarkson in February to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Nathan Horton as cap circumvention. Examples include Philadelphia's Chris Pronger and Boston's Marc Savard. Instead of being charged the full amount of his remaining salary, the team receives cap relief by placing him on LTIR for the entire season.
One form of existing cap circumvention involves players who suffer career-ending injuries remaining on long-term injured reserve rather than retiring. The new CBA implemented term and salary-variance limits to close that loophole. Under the previous collective bargaining agreement, some teams signed several players to ridiculously long, heavily front-loaded contracts to garner a lower salary-cap hit. Following the salary cap's implementation, it didn't take long for teams to discover loopholes.
