I was watching the Florida Panthers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game last night and a couple of things just completely blew me away.
1. Florida Panthers have one of the worst defensive systems I've ever seen. How is it that a team with the likes of Aaron Ekblad and Keith Yandle so incapable of taking care of their own zone. The amount of time spent in their own zone by the Panthers was startling.
2. I was astonished to hear that if Roberto Luongo were to retire after this season, the Vancouver Canucks could stand to have a cap hit of about $4 million cap hit in 2019-2020 season and $8 million penalty in 2021. Similarly, if Shea Weber were to retire anytime soon, the Nashville Predators could be looking at a recapture penalty of a cap hit as high as $24 million in 2025-2026. Unbelievable!
Check out some of these numbers. Absolutely insane!
Roberto Luongo early retirement -> recapture penalty as cap hit
Shea Weber early retirement -> recapture penalty as a cap hit
