    Told by an NHL & NHLPA source that 2016-17 cap could go down as much as $4 million. If true, interested in what that does to trade deadline

    Good gravy and Kopitar just got $10M per. If you are an upcoming UFA take the money and run because July 1 could be a cold cold day.

    It's ALL about the USD vs CAD exchange rate. Cuts into the bottom line when your top revenue generating teams are taking in CAD and paying out the players in USD. Stupid world economics stuff that I don't understand.

    Yzerman's offer to Stamkos just got a whole lot less insulting I guess. Probably narrows down the prospective buyers for a guy like that quite a bit. He'll have the option of staying in Tampa and competing or joining a "budget team" that can manage his salary under the cap

    Personally I think the players are getting way too much anyways!! It would be nice if the stars of the league were making $5 million per season and that they thought that was huge money.. With the amount of free clothing, equipment, vehicles, food, etc, etc. these guys get, it's ridiculous when you add it all up..

    I guess I'm just one of those people who are happy to see the cap go down.. But we all know, one day, that cap is going to shoot way up once again..

    If true, this is gonna make it a lot tougher for teams against the cap (this year) to manage their teams going forward. It could make for an interesting summer.

    That would be a hard news to swallow in cap leagues especially in actual salary leagues.....New contracts have been hard to fit in lately.....i.e Toews, Kopitar......Stamkos will be next.....
