Questions

[Drew]

Drew just a quick question on this years extentions. Are we going to be using this shortened season at all as a bench mark or will we be using last years rankings???

Same as always. We will be using their ranking from this season and the ranking from last year as well.

Hey Drew, it's not clear to me if a vet IR replacement called up from the minors can be sent back early (before the IR player is back in action) or not. Specifically, can I send Tomonen back down before Karlsson is healthy?

[Drew]

Yes they can be sent back at any time through normal waivers

I was just looking at my extensions and was thinking about the cap for next season, is there any changes there ?

Yes there is a change down to 64.3m expected. I will try and update that in the projected cap space part.

Is there going to be a free buyout or something to help with the drop in cap ??

That can be discussed, although with re-signing period teams won't be allowed to go over cap either.

We can add salary to an extension right?? In my case Patric Hornqvist's extension unless he goes crazy in the next week and moves up 40 spots on the scoring list is 2.7m per year for 2 years can I add 0.3m per year to make it 3m a year for 3 years??

Can't wait!!! I'm getting some great extension saving values right now
