I noticed that my average club salary is dropping when I reach october 1st. Is that normal ? It's kind of annoying because I can't exactly know how much space I have in my budget before october. I would love to be able to know it in July for the free agents period.
Thanks a lot for your help guys and have a great day
I had that problem in 07 as well. I never understood why it did that. I would take a look at all of the salary/financial pages and couldn't figure it out. It sucks cause I would trade a good/high salary player in the off season, only to find out that come October more than enough salary disappeared off the books.
I remember someone mentioning somewhere that during the off-season the top 23 players' wages are counted towards the cap. Meaning players who are in the AHL, and such. So if you only have 20 players on roster in October, your caphit will be smaller at that time.
Yeah the highest 23 on your roster are counted against cap in off season, so if you have fewer players for reg season on October 1, or if you have cut/sent down/waived and sent down guys in that top 23 your cap will go down on Oct 1, as it now counts who is specifically on the NHL team roster.
That other thing from Samperino...Not sure why that would help. I just add it up.

You can manually calculate your club salary against the cap anytime if you have an idea of who are the 20 players you expect will make the team. Go into Finance - view - salary cap chart and count each salary for the cap hit of the year you will be going onto. If you are too too tight however your board may restrict you from signing guys that could fit into your budget. Also that makes it difficult to maintain some depth when a player gets injured, you won't be able to call anybody up if you are let's say 500K only below the cap ... Unless the player is placed on 24 days IR, his salary counts even if he is not playing. Calling a guy would then put your roster with 21 players whos contract counts against the salary cap, you would then be over and won't be able to continue. A player would then be playing 2 lines as to fill spot on the line of the player whos injured.
