“Balancing a lineup of stars and supporting talent is one thing. Making it all click salary-wise is another challenge entirely. It sparks the question: How much cap can teams realistically dedicate to just a few of their players?” [The Athletic ($)]
“This past NHL season saw nine players hit the 100-point plateau, but with a new season inching closer and more players hungry to up their game, how many will join the Century Club in 2024-25?” [The Hockey News]
The 1993 Canadiens were the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. Which Canadian team is most likely to break the drought? [r/hockey]
Eric Duhatschek writes here about LTIR: “Thankfully, the NHL has tasked its general managers with at least investigating the matter to consider if a team’s line-up should be cap-compliant for playoff games. Nothing’s advanced passed the talking stages, but I do believe there’s enough pushback, not just from teams but also from angry fan bases, that the NHL understands the current system is a bad look. Change probably won’t come until the next CBA negotiations, but those are not that far away.” [The Athletic ($)]
