So many places to post this, but since it's basically generated from my boredom....
Caps current salary cap situation:
With the "trading" of Stepho, and Hags back from LTIR, the Caps currently have cap space of a whopping $761,613
That is with Obrien on the roster and Boyd NOT. Not sure why Spotrac shows it that way...probably don't update that oftern)
That does leave room for the Caps to bring up Djoos (and send Ziggy down) if they wish. I hope that doesn't happen, but not sure what the long term plans are for Djoos if Ziggy is working out, which IMO he is. I'm sure they kept Djoos for a spare guy, and a litany of little unexpected things forced the cap situation to be tighter than anticipated little unexpectedly including Djoos and Stepho's arbitrated increased salaries, and the lower than planned overall cap figure.
Spotrac does not show Boyd on the active roster, but his salary (800k) shows an adjusted cap hit of only $137k. Not sure how that works. His contract is "buried" but if he is on active roster I'd assume his hit would be $800k
Also, if Boyd is on the roster, then Obrien would not be. so....
I guess my point was, we cleared $1.05m in cap space moving Stepho, but still don't really have any cap space to work with without moving a significant piece.
But there is room to bring up Djoos and move down Ziggs if they choose to.
Go Caps
(and all this rhetoric would not be necessary if only....
