Jesse: Schrodinger's cap.  It can't be known if it's over or under until someone looks at it on Dec 31.

[We don't have to be cap compliant until December 31st]

When it comes to Zach's contract, it doesn't matter weather he freed up 50k now or before FA started because none of this money has been paid out yet. We don't have to be cap compliant until December 31st.

Ugh, this again.  I won't even argue any more.  You have a strange way of looking at it, and I'm fine with that after 2+ years of arguing about SMS calcs.

But your statement makes it sound like they could hire 45 FA's at $250k right now and no one can say boo about the cap because in your mind it's not "real" until the season is over.  What I'm saying is there's something called estimations, budgeting, and planning.

You should would make a wild GM!  Very entertaining.

Sounds like. Nyquist, Toews, Rosen. Koepke, Barron, and Lambert. Would have like to have seen Lambert on line 1 or 2.

Fluery/Bryson 3rd. pairing
     

Chevy indicated they'd get different opportunities. It won't be like this for the rest of the year.

Not being argumentative, being accurate. You have a theory that you believe in, so you look for any opportunity, no matter how much of a reach it is, to bring your theory up.

From a business point of view... wait a minute... it doesn't matter unless there actually was 2025 SMS money left at the end of December. As I've said before, prove there was or shut up about it.

Yours is just a theory as well which you can't prove. I said that is money was left at the end of 2025 it would have been possible to pay it early by a few days. That's a reasonable argument. I never said it was a fact so what is it I have to prove?

It's a fact that every team will try to spend any remaining SMS to their advantage.

Whether there was any balance left is the only thing that is not a fact that is known. In the same way we don't know whether there was any MM in his contract that could reduce his SMS hit in 2026.

Do I have to prove another obvious possibility?

As far as telling me to shut up. Well you know what goes around comes around.

Not reaching at all. Jan 2 would be the latest and possible date of the payment. OTOH, if SMS money was available there would be nothing to prevent a Dec 31 payment.

From a business point of view, why wouldn't the Bombers do that to take the advantage. Whether a given player would want money shifted to 2025 instead of 2026 may be a tax issue where they might decline. Hard to say with certainty.

Bombers already had re-signed some top players with signing money involved so they may have spent the remainder already.


I think you just like to be argumentative. I guess you've never paid a personal or business bill a few days early?
