IvanIvanovich Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Is this regular season CAP or off season CAP? What is the date for the trade? CAP is updated weekly in game not every day as in real life. CAP is also pro-rated, if you make a trade halfway into a season only half the salary is removed.

Smylie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sept. 03 2020 just before the preseason. Fluery was in the last year of his initial 3 year deal and had an AHL salary of $103,000. Archibald had 2 years left at 1.1Mil and 1.3Mil and his avg salary was 1.117 Mil. Both had played the full previous season in the AHL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino-33 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Maybe I'm not understanding (haven't been awake vey long yet!), but I thought only a portion of an AHL player's salary counted against the NHL Salary Cap (NHL Minimum Salary + $375K) Also, seems like you're in the "offseason" when IIRC your top 23 salaries count against the Salary Cap, regardless of whether they're on the NHL roster or not...

Smylie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Top 23 salaries are only $71Mil +- . I would be good with the AHL salary at the reduced rate but Archibald's contract was a full hit and I believe that it should have reduced the salary cap by 1.117 Mil at a minimum.

Both had played the full previous season in the AHL. This is the off season CAP that is calculated by taking the 23 highest earners on the team. The regular season CAP is calculated differently and is where only roster players are counted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AHL two way contracts only kick in when the season starts. During the off season the full salary amount is used. This is the way it works in real life too (albeit slightly differently). (IRL ALL players are considered to be on the NHL roster until the season starts and only then can you move them to your farm team.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smylie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 That's exactly why I think its a bug. If you take there combined salaries, the reduction in cap after the trades s/b about $1.8 Mil. It showed that on the trade page when I made the trade. After the trade It only reduced it a little over $200,000 on the Salary Cap page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanIvanovich Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The CAP is calculated weekly in-game not day by day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smylie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 So I will sim it a week and see if the cap hit is different. My guess..... NO... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smylie Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well....simming is complete for 9 days.... from Sept 3 to Sept 12 and start of training camp..... No difference in Salary Cap..... still at 75,485,000.... I still think it's a bug..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanIvanovich Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I don't have access to your save but since you're still in off season your CAP is calculated as the top 23 players (full) salary. By trading away one player in the top 23 he's replaced by #24 so the reduction in CAP will be the difference between the traded player and the player that replaced him in the top 23. So if the player you traded away had a salary of $1.1m and the 24th highest paid player has a salary of $900.000 then the reduction in off season CAP will be $200.000. I cannot explain it any clearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smylie Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 So, how come, in another test I did over the same time frame, when I trade away a single player that has a $2 Mil cap hit and the cap DOES go down by $2 Mil. That doesn't quite fit into what you have said above. If it were to be the same then my cap hit s/b $400,000, but it ain't....... So I don't know what's goin' on.....
