The base is 4, but yeah, you would think it would be somewhere around 8.

Of course, the bonus is paid out if he plays 10 games....that's kinda hilarious.

It's basically short-term cap circumvention with dead cap next season, if they need it.

When you try to set your kid on one of two specific courses in life, and he chooses a third option.

I expected some action with offer sheets because of the poor UFA market ...
I still expect some action there ...

But I had to check if this was a joke/legit

That's an offer sheet alright.

Oof... that's a stinger for ANA. The Ducks are $8M below the cap floor, so they probably match. ANA doesn't spend money, so what does Carlsson care? It's not like they cannot do anything else.

 

[cabber24]

Crazy, this really changes everything. How much is Matthews going to want? +$20M? He better score 70!

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

With the cap rising exponentially, I would imagine offer sheet compensation will be adjusted at some point.

Over a certain threshold it was five first round picks. It was lowered to four picks to stimulate more offer sheets. I doubt they increase the compensation just because it's higher dollar values.

I am saying the opposite. $5M today is not what it was 5 years ago in the NHL.

Your saying adjusting the thresholds, not the actual amount of picks. Got it.
