The Caps are $1.3M over the salary cap right now, not including Kempney on the LTIR. Some more moves need to be made.
Some of the things I've been reading hint at Orlov being the odd man out. It would leave room for Kempney to return plus a couple M in breathing room.

Hmmm. What hints? His contract makes the most sense - dollars wise to move, but that means "you/they" are comfortable with Jensen and Kempny (or Van Riemsdky) as a fulltime D.
I would not be butt hurt if Orlov were moved. Although I think he has some upside if he could actually maintain some defensive responsibility and lose the random TOTAL bonehead plays....and he is one of our few checkers we have left.
The Caps are 1.3m over, but that's carrying 8 D and 3 GT. Kempny money won't count for 6 months (you know....right about when the season actually starts >:(
I would think one of the G (Copely) will get moved to AHL so that will save $750K (UNLESS his contract always counts against the Cap? - not sure how that works and would he have to clear waivers?....If that is the case then I'd guess they have to keep him on the NHL roster so scratch that $750k savings). we have the roster space so I guess you carry 3 GT. Actually our total GT cost is a steal right now. Also odd....Sportrac shows Ziggy on the roster, but no salary cap number (0) at all so not sure what that means.]Kempny carries 2.5, that won't count start of season. However, It certainly WOULD be nice to actually start a season with some breathing room under the cap rather than always up against it.
I'm a little surprised they did not move Panik for his 2.75m, but maybe they just couldn't...and we are SHORT on wingers. Dowd is a freaking steal at $750k. He will never be a superstar, but he's well worth $750k for a 4th line guy and PK guy. Is Panik worth 3.66 times what Dowd is? I know everyone has been pretty down on Panik...I was kind of hoping he would evolve a little bit into slightly better fit. I never expected him to be a superstar, but he has good size and decent skills....just never seemed to really gel. (MAYBE A BETTER COACH COULD BETTER UTILIZE HIM :cross: ) He averages about 31pts a season, but not really what I'd call a top 6 scoring guy so don't know what that should actually be worth these days. Hags is fairly comparable in scoring stats and salary - although I think he was really hired as a PK guy which he has been very helpful at.....we shall see moving forward with age how that affects his wheels. Maybe they see something in Panik that doesn't come out in numbers...utility fit guy, can PK, decent size, etc.
Anyway...nice to be ranting about hockey again....just wish it was about actual games.
And I still can't hit the backspace key or delete key without it totally wigging out the font size. It shrinks it to unreadable and I have to go back and edit it.
(maybe yuns smart guys does it on purpose to keep my posts shorter) :raspberry:
. and since when... Take for example this text which is so tiny because I hit the delete key on the blank line above this line of text. (Hi AJ. Hi ALTA)
Blah, blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. Yadda yadda yadda zipity doo dah.
