The Edmonton Oilers have something this offseason they haven’t really had before: Cap space. In fact, with some of the options out there, that cap space could be enough to sign two depth players. Could it be that, hypothetically, Tristan Jarry’s $5.38 million cap hit plus the $4.7 million in space could be enough to fit in Connor Hellebuyck’s cap hit? One of the unusual features of the NHL’s cap system is accruing deadline cap space. Teams accumulate cap space based on the amount of available daily cap space.
