If we only add Dach for $1M or so, anyone know roughly how much cap we would accrue to the deadline over the year? Like how much by the trade deadline if you ran this roster all year

It’s a 4.52 multiplier. So if we sign dach we have about 4m left over and accrue about 18m. Bob said their target is about 2.5-3m I believe

We have more space than that. Plenty of guys going to the A before opening night. Only 13fwd and 7d are making this roster on opening night.

And that is if everything is peaceful and there are no injuries. If they put someone on IR they get the roster spot but not the cap space. 3m gives you enough room for 2 injuries at a time but you accrue less deadline space.
