Have you ever thought about Kelly McCrimmon and how he tracks his stuff? Certainly, he doesn't store all the salary cap hits in his head since that would be too much work. No, it would be hard to achieve, especially when you're trying to figure out which big name to bring in.
After all, you need to add players like Dylan Larkin and Connor Hellebuyck to sell tickets. Sure, Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner will be the main attractions (along with the pre-game entertainment, let's be honest). But it's never enough in today's world to simply be satisfied with where you're at.
Ironically, that's part of starting a business. You must track your expenses and find out where your spending lies. Otherwise, you're just wasting a business opportunity and mismanaging everything. Boy, that sounds like the Toronto Maple Leafs, doesn't it?
Anyway, that's the perk (I guess) of running an operation. You must crunch numbers and come up with complicated formulas to ensure everything runs smoothly. If you want a shortcut, look no further than Claude. Perhaps Kelly McCrimmon uses AI to create spreadsheets to track his salary cap.
Who knows? That could be the next big controversy that hockey fans will make up in their heads. "Oh No, McCrImMoN cIrCuMvEnTs ThE sAlArY cAp ThRoUgH aI." Watch, it'll become another talking point that the conspiracy theorists will somehow cook up.
