Since acquiring Eichel and his $10 million salary from the Buffalo Sabres, the team has had to work hard to stay under the salary cap, even trying to trade a player like Evgeny Dadonov.
The Golden Knights is clearly struggling to put together a coherent group that adheres to the NHL's salary cap guidelines, as Calgary Flames head coach Darryl Sutter said Tuesday.
Check out Sutter's comments:
«When they have the full squad, they're the favourites to win the Stanley Cup. Other than the team that has the Stanley Cup, they're the favourites. They have a $100-million payroll, so they have to figure out how to keep 20 out.»
- Darryl Sutter
They have a $100 million payroll...How is that fair? If that was any Canadian team, Gary Bettman would fly down to Canada and personally shut down the team.
That $100 million comment killed me!
