Yeah, that makes sense. It's not really that important of a detail. Take your time.

Kind of stupid for sure. I mean I get that they had to get final revenue numbers and all that to set the cap, but they know when the latest date is for the Cup, so why not push back other key dates like the draft and free agency until you can be certain the cap number is known to all. Either figure the cap number out earlier, or make the draft and free agency push out a week later.
In a follow-up tweet, Johnson mentions that it's possible we see a cap under $82mil.

That'd be brutal for certain cap strapped teams.
Kinda random, but John Shannon has had this tweet up for almost a full 24 hours now. He thinks it's the RFA compensation chart, but he took it directly from a PDF of the CBA so it's the 2013 numbers. Dozens of people have told him it's incorrect. It's still up. He's one of Sportsnet's top insiders.

They could make the cap retroactive to the previous years revenue. It would solve issues like this, wholly deal with the escrow issue, and eliminate this "what's the cap gonna be?" just weeks before free agency. It would require a one-year cap freeze to implement at this point.

Didn't know exactly where to put this, but yeah, hockey culture is messed up.

I read an article that said Brock Boeser wasn't eligible for either arbitration or an offer sheet like most RFA's this summer. I didn't think there were any restrictions on offer sheets to RFA's unless the player filed for arbitration, am I wrong or was the article?

JT Compher is apparently re-signed in Colorado at 4 years/3.5 million AAV which seems now to basically be the standard "He's ok, with some potential and had a decent year" deal for younger guys.
Going into the off-season I thought Colorado might be a team to watch for an offer sheet because of all of their cap space and the fact that they've already got a really good prospect base so they could take the draft pick hit a little better than most. After the Compher signing though and assuming Rantanen gets at least 8 or 9 they're only going to have 6 or 7 million left. Still crazy to think they get four more years of Mackinnon at 6.3

At the time? I think a lot of people just looked at his production and worried if he'd ever fulfill his potential.
That said, people can say what they want about Ferris but it's Nathan Mackinnon's agent who is probably keeping big time RFA's from signing 7 and 8 year deals.
I think that we all knew MacKinnon was capable of more but his first 3 seasons he scored at an 82-game pace of 63 points, 48 points, and then 59 points. Regardless of his shooting percentage, those were underwhelming numbers. It's MacKinnon's/his agents fault for not opting for a shorter term deal but on a long-term contract his AAV was probably right where it should have been based off his first 3 years in the NHL.
I mean Nylander had back to back 60 point seasons and signed for virtually the exact same cap hit percentage and we all know what the reaction to that was.
