Yep. While my comment had a bit of jest in it, the league wouldn’t approve a contract that put a team over the cap. However, a team “can” exceed the cap by bonuses etc, (ie Chicago a few years ago), in which case there is hell to pay.

I sadly didn't get to see enough of Stephenson to have an opinion of him, but I don't want to lose Djoos.

Players sent down to the AHL do not count towards the NHL cap, so there is a way to keep BOTH Djoos and Stephenson....if one plays in the AHL

Yeah, our cap situation is a fuckin mess, there’s also Boyd and Slieshnwhatever to consider too
One things for sure though, we our depth is pretty tight. There’s a good chance that any of the four or five NHL ready guys could be snatched on waivers either before the season, or worse if they’re called up for injuries.

Those are emergency call-ups making the player exempt from waiver eligibility both calling up and sending down.
Let's hope GMBM is better at trades than GMGM ever was...
After this season, who will Seattle steal also......
