When the St. Louis Blues acquired Justin Faulk, nobody knew a pandemic would hit and there would be no telling what the 2020-21 salary cap would be. The last word on it, though very unofficial, was it might actually stay the same.
That’s much better than the alternative. Pierre McGuire was suggesting the cap could drop by 25-40%.
Smarter people than myself were saying they could understand that. While I know there are mechanisms in place, the idea that a quarter of your roster would need to have contracts altered or even cut is insane.
