Re: Salaries
People want to piss and moan about Reiger and being "stingy & stupid" not making deals.
During the Cup run and the following year, - two pretty successful playoff runs- Reiger added Gilmour ($6 million) Audette ($2 million), Chris Gratton ($2 million) Stu Barnes/Heinz ($2.6 million combined) during the trading deadlines. That's $12.6 million added for playoff pushes.
Can't really argue the success of those moves
Given resources- he's done well. Under the crooked ownership- he dealt off very expensive older Talent (Hasek, Gilmore) and unproductive expensive talent (Gratton) and built a core of solid young players- and a roster that could take a year off if a strike occured.

I agree about Reiger. I think he's always done a great job with what he had...and I've always been very pleased with how he always manages to improve the team before the trade deadline for the stretch. The problem I've had with this team is the players seem to have a problem playing for Ruff at times....especially early in the season. It would be nice for once if we weren't pathetic for the first six weeks and didn't have to dig out of a hole.
Don, thanks a lot for these numbers...can you put what the current cap is going to be in this thread to complete the analysis?

Re: Salaries
The current cap (tied to 53% of league revenue) will be set to $39,000,000
That may GO DOWN next year if the League struggles at the gate
Teams actually can hit 10% ABOVE that cap number (Around 42 million) in a short grace period from the opening of camp to opening day. When they drop the puck , all teams must be under the $39 million
Teams must pay a minimum $21 million to their rosters
Look for the top teams not to exceed $36 million or so at the strart of the season- they need extra room in case of injuries, or trades during the year
