Vodka Drunkenski Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Seems like there's a few ways to do it. Require a salary cap to be adhered to during the playoffs? Require a number of games played in the regular season to qualify for playoff play? Significantly reduce the amount of LTIR pool that exists when shelving a player long term (something less than a dollar for dollar cushion to replace who you lose)? I guess you could just say a team has to remain cap compliant in the playoffs. If you have to be cap compliant in game 81, I don’t see why you don’t have to be in game 82+ Seems pretty reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Cap compliant is based on 82 games, can’t just have some teams compliant for 86 games and some teams compliant for 106 games. Some teams played short handed during the season bc they would have been over the cap by season end. Best solution would probably be that a player has to play like 5 regular season games to be eligible for the playoffs if they were on LTIR. 5 games would give the player/team about 1.5 weeks to get ready for the playoffs if the player was out the full season with an “injury” TB mayor wants the Lightning to lose tonight so they can win on home ice. WTF!!!! Cocky sonofa…..would be nothing better right now if TB somehow chokes this series away. Secondary would be TB lose tonight, then MTL wins Game 5 in TB. Can’t take shit for granted.

Dunny Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The Habs.. Have less fans in the stands then we did for the Midget All Ontario BB Finals. It's really unfortunate that they can't employ one of their best weapons. The Bell Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Significantly reduce the amount of LTIR pool that exists when shelving a player long term (something less than a dollar for dollar cushion to replace who you lose)? Honestly, this isn't the first time we've seen a team abuse the LTIR system - the Blackhawks did it in 2015 too. The more and more I think it over, the more I think the cap has too many loopholes because it has insane rigidity and will, I think, outlive its usefulness within 3 years. Tampa showed us that this year, and I'm CERTAIN we're going to see Vegas, the Islanders, Tampa, and a few other teams embrace sketch solutions over the next year or two. Especially with the massive new TV deals, the NHL should be focused on maximizing the product footprint and not having artificial limiters on the success of nationally recognizable teams and talent at the expense of and in the name of keeping Arizona and Ottawa relevant. This should be a floor, soft cap, luxury tax line 1, luxury tax line 2 sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I don't see Montreal winning four in a row, but if you're Tampa, you really want to just clinch this thing tomorrow. Montreal isn't a team you just want to hang around. Islanders clinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 IIRC, Toronto were the kings of the loopholes since the start of the season. Didn't help them in the playoffs. Kind of like the tax code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
