Btw selling cap space was at one time thought of as way to circumvent (undercutting the spirit) of the cap rules and reg too
Not really. It used to not be allowed... and then they made a rule that allowed it.

Tough to say. On one hand as Zeke pointed out recently, Lilly's 18 yr old rookie season in the AHL was about as good as Dermott's 19 yr old rookie season (not relatively, but in absolute terms). On the other hand, he's 19 for the entire duration of next season, so he's ridiculously young. I don't think many people expected Dermott to break out quite like he did this season, and I don't think we should expect it from Lilly next season. The year after though? Strong training camp, not a lot of right handed options standing in his way? I think that's pretty reasonable. He may or may not be ready, but I expect him to get a legit shot at making the team in 19/20
It’s awesome but they should’ve added Leo to the mix to make it even more amusing.
They did....
That should be just about enough room for Lou to add two more 5th liners with impeccable character.to be fair NYI also gets 6M or so in cap space.

OK, so the great hope with Tavares at $11m is that he's not just as good as he has been, but that he could see a significant boost in production rates with the leafs than he did with the Isles.
So please, everyone, make your best case that he will do just that.
