This small increase was the recommendation made last week to the league’s board of governors. It’s the second consecutive season the cap went up by $1 million after staying flat the previous two. The league and NHL Players Association announced the cap number for the 2023-24 season Wednesday. He has 102 points in 240 regular-season and playoff NHL games … The salary cap is getting another modest increase, going up $1 million again to $83.5 million. He’s expected to get a raise from the $1.25 million he made this past season. Colton, who turns 27 before next season starts, also is a pending restricted free agent. A person with knowledge of the situation told the AP that Compher is testing the free agent market. The move almost certainly spells the end of J.T. Colorado sent the 37th pick in the draft to Tampa Bay for the player who scored the Lightning’s Stanley Cup-clinching goal in 2021.
The Avalanche acquired forward Ross Colton in a trade with the Lightning. The deal is the first big roster splash for new Penguins president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas, who is tasked with getting the team back into the playoffs and continuing to contend with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang still around. Vegas recouped the third-round pick it sent to Pittsburgh for forward Teddy Blueger prior to the trade deadline.
He was the first player captain Mark Stone handed the Cup after the Golden Knights won it earlier this month. Smith, 32, was one of six original Vegas players left from the team’s inaugural season that included a trip to the final. That was exactly Smith’s cap hit, making this another set of bold moves by Vegas general manager Kelly McCrimmon, who has shown a willingness to take risks in the name of getting younger and winning championships - and not worrying about sentimentality. Instead, the 27-year-old Russian power forward will count $5 million against the salary cap through 2028. The Knights traded Reilly Smith to the Penguins and re-signed fellow forward Ivan Barbashev to a five-year contract worth $25 million.īarbashev, a key contributor to the title run with 18 points in 22 games, was expected to be one of the top players available in free agency. The Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights are already preparing to try to repeat, trading a longtime franchise cornerstone and keeping their best trade deadline pickup.
