6 mil over the cap and waiting for Teemu's number here. Also carrying 26 players on my roster though, so once I trim that down I should squeeze under the limit.mr. bruin wroteCOLONWell fack...Must be nice people, I am over the cap atm. Tim Thomas is going to be a valuable asset just before roster submission for a team wanting to meet cap floor and still tank fairly. oh yea....

Re: PIT/CLB
I'm like 5 mil under the floor, but I have Semin needing to sign so that'll put me over the floor. And a bunch of 600k-3mil RFA/UFA's on the way. I should settle in around 60-65mil when everybody is signed.

Re: PIT/CLB
No I agree Mike. Although I'm not sure why the NHLPA gets 57% when the norm is more like 50-51%. Both sides are making great money.
However - the issue is the league wide split, and what is included in the league profit. How long should the profitable owners pay for the other owners? How long of deals continue to be put forth - return of money in deals? Out clauses in contracts?
I'm def not on the side of owner gettin more - honestly some sign of total cost control would be nice.
If I were the NHLPA I'd really want too address players with injury shortened careers and retirees who are have post-hockey career issues. I think that's an area for common ground to start. Separate that cost from either side. Suggest a gross warning ceiling where players can sign off their pension (Sidney Crosby needs a pension?? - not saying he should, just that he could set a good example).
Some openness of contract terms in exchange for a cap on years. Perhaps a more typical breakdown of profit. Means you could see bonuses return to regular contracts - and with that much higher numbers.
