Cap hit numbers

These all the players under contract for next season.

Ovechkin- 9.538,462
Nylander- 4.875
Semin- 4.6
Fedorov- 4
Clark- 2.63
Kozlov- 2.5
Backstrom- 2.4
Laich- 2.06
Brashear- 1.2
Bradley- 1
Fehr- .735
Fleischman- .725
Gordon- .725
Steckel- .512
Laing- .475


Green- 5.25
Poti- 3.5
Pothier- 2.5-He’s on LTIR.
Morrisonn- 1.975
Alzner- 1.675
Jurcina- .881
Erskine- .537

Theodore- 4.5
Johnson- .812

Total number- 59.592

So that’s about 2.9 million over the cap, but Pothier is on LTIR, so they can exceed the cap by 2.5 million(pothier’s cap hit). So before the start of the season .4 million needs to be cut. Laing’s cap hit is .475 he’ll probably be sent to Hershey and the Caps will be .075 under the cap. I hope my math is right.


There’s more players who are under contract, like Giroux, but they are minor league players. I included Alzner because there is good chance he will make the team. Guys like Bouchard, Godfrey, and Varlamov are all under contract but they will most likely start the season in Hershey and they won’t count agaisnt the Cap. Also some of the players like Laing, and Erksine could end up in Hershey.
