no - I spoke to cap hit influences (but didn't directly speak to the significant impact of recent, for example, long-term McDavid/Draisaitl signings)... does railing on about Oiler management ignore key signings like those? Speaking of: you should be the guy speaking to why the Canucks have not been playing to the cap; why they have a current cap space of ~ 29 million/projected cap space of ~$10 million. Geezaz, are you waiting for a big buy at the trade deadline... will the Canucks 'fish or cut bait'?  ;D

I don't know about the Canuck's cap space but they will have some big bills when Boeser's and Petterson's rookie contracts expire. Right now they are looking pretty good, tied for a wild card spot when they were a unanimous pick to finish last in the west. Which of course could still happen but they are a fun team to watch these days. They have some gaps to fill in but no need to panic.
