Pretty telling that the only team "investigated" by the NHL for cap circumvention last year was Edmonton with Kane.. courtesy of C. Campbell and Bettman.. while Florida was the one icing a team a mile over the cap.

Worth remembering, it was Evander Kane's big mouth that got us investigated. He indicated he was feeling great and expected to play again soon right before the Oilers announced he was done for the regular season. Just the dumbest and most selfish player.
I am surprised that the NHL has decided to take this particular path related to playoff cap. It is a little more forgiving than it could be - since the regular season it's the 23-man roster that has to be compliant, and in the post-season it's only the 20-man roster. That said, this will make it a lot harder to get deals done at the deadline and you're going to see teams forced to trade/take back roster guys in order to make the numbers work.
It will be interesting to see which teams figure out the best angle on how to manage that. I would think that you don't want the Trent Frederic's of the world on 8-year deals as it'll be way easier to send expiring contracts to non-contenders than any long contracts.

Think that's why Kane is gone.
The year before too, still makes no sense how he turned a hernia in October into multiple hernias and muscle tears that took him out of the playoffs. Some of the dumbest crap I've ever seen. If Kane got the 1 hernia repaired and LTIR'd to let us add 1 extra good player at the deadline, we probably have a cup win in 23/24, and who knows, maybe Marchand wants us instead the year after. OH WELL!!!! And who knows, maybe our stinky goaltending still finds a way to burn us in 23/24 no matter what we had on the roster.
