Morning Line -- Caps Cap

From capgeek.com...


Whereas capgeek.com (geez, they do good work) has Tyler Sloan in the roster mix, we do not.  That leaves five roster spots open -- perhaps four forwards and a defenseman -- and almost $9.3 million in cap room.  There is still the issue of whether free agents Tomas Fleischmann (RFA), Andrew Gordon (RFA), and Eric Belanger (UFA) are to be re-signed.  And, there is the matter of whether Mathieu Perreault will make the opening night roster (Gordon as well, if he is re-signed).  There does appear to be a hole for a 5/6/7 defenseman (Caps fans might argue a 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 defenseman) that would come from outside the organization.

    Perhpas I am misunderstanding something, but doesn't Tarik mention on a recent post about Nylander that the cap hit for him this season will be $4.875 mil??

    Unless Nylander is on the roster (which he won't be), he doesn't count against the cap. That's what happened last year after the Caps loaned him to a Swedish club with his permission. Now that his NMC is up, they don't need his permission.
