Trade: Predators land McDonagh, Lightning gain salary cap room

nbcsports.com

The Tampa Bay Lightning may not be reigning Stanley Cup champions any longer, but they still are masters at salary cap management.

The Lightning traded Ryan McDonagh to the Predators in a move that opens up significant salary cap space for Tampa Bay. Predators receive: Ryan McDonagh, 33, $6.75M cap hit through 2025-26. Lightning receive: Philippe Myers, 25, and Grant Mismash.

Myers is supposed to count $2.55M on the cap. Yet, due to some salary cap quirks, a buyout could add to the Lightning salary cap savings in the McDonagh trade.

This would result in the #GoBolts having created $7,366,666 in cap space for themselves next season. McDonagh $6.75M + Myers credit $617k = $7.37Mhttps://t.co/qIBiAOS50x https://t.co/PVTfDN9Dnm — CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) July 3, 2022 Then again, maybe not?
