Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · PuckPedia's Hart Levine (1/31/25) · 1 Feb 2025 podcast

gonna be talking about an extension um the summer and normally you would know what the cap is the they would have just announced that what the cap for that season is gonna be in like June, right before the draft. matched

And you're just guessing what it's gonna be the following year. matched

And so when he's trying to think about what's my cap it gonna be as a percentage of the cap when it kicks in, like you don't you don't really know. matched

People can project, but then that's another point for the for the team and agent to have to agree on like what's a reasonable range for the matched

projections for where the cap's gonna be. matched

So you just take all that uncertainty out of it. matched

You know exactly what it's gonna be. matched

You know it's gonna be increasing the subsequent two years by a lot. matched

And I think what that's gonna lead to is matched

higher higher contracts compared to like even if we got to the same cap numbers but we didn't know what it would be until the end of June, like normally, I think by knowing it in advance it's gonna lead to a a higher uh cap number for contracts, kinda all things equal. matched

So you know thinking about Connor McDavid now. matched

You know, he can he's eligible to sign, we know now for twenty percent of a hundred and four million, right? matched

So twenty point eight million he could sign for. matched

Uh you know, he's probably not gonna sign for that much, but in the past, um, you know, they it's twenty percent, but it was always twenty percent of the of the salary cap amount we know for that current season. matched

So that that twenty percent would have been on the the cap at ninety five point five if it was only announced a year at a time. matched

So matched

There's definitely some repercussions of knowing it further on and I think it's all gonna lead to higher caps for for contracts coming up. matched

Oh, I I think that's a certainty. matched

I mean, I think we already ha I mean we we have a lot of teams that are at the cap, over the cap using L T R but we still always have, you know, three to five teams with millions and millions of cap space. matched

Well, now we're gonna get to a place where, you know, in that third year, not only is the cap gonna be a hundred and thirteen and a half million, but floor is gonna be eighty three point nine. matched
