I believe that a team's salary cap consists of 23 players pay for every two weeks of the season. So even though a team maybe be paying 27 players, some of those would be on the IR or on a two way contract in the minors, and their pay would not count against the cap. Thus, a total salary of $42.5 M (sans Ryder) is not an accurate reflection of their cap space, you have to consider which players will actually stick with the team.

I compared the 2 lists and ch_nl's list has some minor differences in dollar amounts like 3mill for huet , it's actually 2.875 per year but the real difference in the two lists is that cn_nl has ferland cote laooiere and kosty counting against the cap which I believe they have to make the team first. so our actual commitment at this point is closer to 39 or 40 million depending on signing ryder, and barring a trade to free cap room.

Funny how these things go...Rivet, for instance, makes more than Souray or Markov, two much higher-profile defencemen. And Kovy turns out to be a steal at that rate given the current UFA market. Still, the basic structure makes sense: the captain makes the most, followed by the two semi-star forwards Samsonov and Kovy.

Nice post.

I didn't even mention the word "cap" in my post. Just listed what what all the new signings means in cash and since more than 23 players will have a contract with the Habs I listed everyone.

I may be wrong on Huet, but the article I read said 3. So that's why it became 3 in my post.

There's some things that I find interesting.

* No one makes less than Plekanec. And yet we count on him to be a regular this season.

* There's only two player that's overpaid in my opinion. Bonk and Rivet, but Rivet has lifted himself and are getting closer and closer.

* Boullion whom almost everybody counted as the 7th defenceman now is fourth among defencemen when it comes to salary.

* Kostitsyn lifts more mone than Higgins. Kostitsyn will likley start the year in Hamilton and Higgins on the first line.

Huet makes 3 million this season but the cap room is based on the average salary of the contract. That is why it is less.
