TarcyDucker: How are the Lightning going to be cap compliant?

The way they usually do - judicious use of Long Term Injury Relief. As of right now Cap Friendly projects them at being $7,195,833 over the cap. Yes, that’s the highest number in the league (Washington is next at $6,321,666).

The number is a bit misleading though. It does not include the LTIR that they are going to get from Lightning legend Brent Seabrook ($6,875,000).
