But the whole thread is about their cap situation. What does one guy going to Vegas have to do with the comment you replied to about cap space?

Re: Playoff feels

ayrt It was talking about how the cap space is going to affect who they re-sign/replace. I was noting that losing a player to Vegas is going to affect who they need to re-sign/replace.

No, it wasn't? It was literally counting cap space vs number of roster spots to be filled, assuming the same size roster as currently.

And how does a guy leaving (whose exact salary will alter the cap space available, and whether the player they sign to replace him costs more or less) not count as a roster spot that needs to be filled?

Re: Playoff feels

Are you just going around in circles now? A guy leaving creates one more empty roster spot and roughly one more player's worth of cap space. That still doesn't change the cap situation: http://dekedangle-rpfanon.dreamwidth.org/7814.html?thread=36753286#cmt36753286.

Losing a player to the expansion draft has no bearing on the fact that the Blackhawks don't have enough cap space to realistically fill the amount of spots they have to fill, which was the point being made.
