Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Washington Capitals analyst Al May (8/27/26) · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

And you you've seen what teams have done manipulating the cap in Florida and Tampa in Montreal, heck, even Washington a little bit one season.

And you just figure out ways.

And you know, the long term IR can't is not as easy as it was to fool every

everybody or you know, put it over on everyone as it used to be.

But when I look at, you know, y what you have out there, so Alex Tuck, I look at his contract, it's not my money, it's not your money, it's the owner's money, and there's always ways to move it around.

And if at some point it's time to move on from him, you eat some of it and you know it's gonna it's a little different than it was as well, because now you ha yeah takes

two teams you have to have I think seventy five days between, you know, eating contract amounts with with different teams.

So one team can't just stick to fifty.

And I I just look at th there's a lot of different ways to do it, but the bottom line is they're trying to win right now, this year, next year, whatever the year after.

And they've got a lot of positives.

And Alex Tuck right now is a very big player, uh, six foot four, whatever he's.

I I I love his skating.

He'd be a great Edmonton Oiler.

And you know, he's been a positive two way player.

So I I look at that and they're paying for the now.

And that salary cap with another monster US T V contract that's coming up in a couple of years and potentially two to three more teams in that time frame, I don't think the salary caps are going down.

They're only going up.

Well, I one of the things is that Jordan Cairo came in as a right winger.

He he's going to be a right winger and we've always known that.

He's been a guy that's had a pedigree of scoring.
