Watching the replay of the Stars preseason game against the Blues that was on last night during our game and Adam Erne is playing on a PTO. That caused me to look to see if he could be added to the roster or if that would put the Stars over the cap (it would, but about $300k). Anyway, that caused me to look at where other teams sit with the cap and saw that both Vegas and Florida are projected to be several million over the cap. Anyone who understands these things better, what do those teams have to do and by when in order to be compliant?

That said, super excited about the season and seeing who comes out on top. Who you got? I like my Stars' chances, but it's a long season and a million things can happen.

By opening night. Florida will have Tkachuk on LTIR to start the season making them compliant until he returns. They will obviously have to make some changes to their roster upon his return to absorb his $9MM+ cap hit. I’m not as familiar with Vegas’ cap and roster situation but I can’t image it being too different from Florida. The big LTIR change really only affects teams roster construction heading into the playoffs as far as I understand.

Sasha Barkov set to miss the entire regular season after injuring his knee in his first practice. Major blow to Florida’s campaign for a three-peat. Hell of a fucking player.

yeah, I hate seeing shit like this. it was going to be a monumental task to 3-peat. with Barkov out and Tkachuk out for much of the season. I don't see it happening. but who knows!?

any predictions for the season? Vegas looks stacked, again.  I have the Isles swapping with the Devils for the last eastern playoffs spot, otherwise my prelim predictions show the rest of the field will be the same as last season. similarly with the west, I look to minnesota to miss this year and the ducks, of all teams, to squeak in the last western spot. I think WSH, LA, STL are going to be better than most are predicting. I expect the Blackhawks and Sharks to fight it out for worst record. sadly the preds might be in that mix too. thoughts?

McDavid get 2x$12.5M. Guessing he's hoping for a cup in the next two or will shop whomever can bring him one

Yep, that's how I read that contract.  He's put the Oil on the clock.
