Nope I think you’re correct. I watched the CMac presser & I believe this was alluded to. You’d have to think if Burns achieves said bonuses the money would roll into next year, because they’ll be right at the cap post trade deadline. But if not then it counts this year.

All the good depth players are gone.

We can use any d-man with a stick longer than 48″

He has size but doesn’t use it; how else does a guy play 925 consecutive games? Anyone expecting him to be a physical presence is going to be disappointed. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a decent defender, though.

As I understand it, if the Avs have space at the end of this season, it would count against this year’s number. But I could very well be wrong.

Yes. His cap hit for this season is 1 million. If he hits certain bonuses (I believe games played markers). The other 3 million roles onto next years cap.

Anyone, please correct me if I’m wrong. His bonus money for incetives such as games played, etc, doesn’t count against the cap this year. At the end of the year, any that fits under the final cap total will be counted under any cap room. The remaining $, if any, will go against nexr season’s cap.
