The salary cap's going down $6 million next year, but the Kings' master capologists are thinking ahead -- planning everything around Brown's next contract. Here's why I'm calm about the roster turnover to come.
I'll bet you forgot there's no bonus cushion next year. Didn't you?

Add the $3.5MM to Chicago's cap hit and they've got about $48,000 in cap space (over $100K if you figure in their bonus cushion -- oh, go ahead and spend it!), plus the $5.94MM summer overage. And...

Not only is Chicago's bonus cushion penalty more than estimated (it's at $4.15MM) but eight other teams join the Hawks in having their cap ceiling reduced in 2010-11. Obviously, some of these...
In the Kovalchuk lull, now is as good a time as any for a self-serving "you said I was stupid but in fact I was right" post, and what better topic for that the the Chicago Blackhawks. Now that they...
And it didn't even take 24 hours. So by my math, dump Huet in the AHL and Chicago is under the cap. And all they had to get rid of was: Dustin Byfuglien Kris Versteeg Andrew Ladd Ben Eager Brent...

What does this trade mean? It means the Hawks now have $2.3MM in cap space for next season, with 13 players signed. If this number seems too low, visit my last post for an explanation (hint: bonus...
...and then give it all back and more. What now?
Hawks lower their own cap ceiling $4-5MM
No, not that cup thing.
I'm pretty sure I will be thrilled, relieved, terrified and disappointed no matter what happens.
Sharks' cap chart with newer less stupid numbers!
I do enjoy it when big lurching behemoths spend themselves into a Cap-22. However, looking at San Jose's cap figures for next year, I don't see any kind of crisis. Unlike Chicago, who has to choose...
What's your preference: Salary dumps? Humiliating demotions to the AHL? Buy-outs? Who says you can't have it all.
I think I have a pretty good ideov.
Does this look good?
