Is 5pm the deadline today?

The deadline to be under the cap,, so all FA should be released by 5 tonight if that is correct right? So the real speculation can really start then?

I think FA starts 12:01 am EST.

I think FA starts 12:01 am EST.

I wonder why they start it as such a strange time?

Not that I'm complaining, at least it's here!

It does, but i think teams have til 5 to get under the cap of 102. All restructures have to be done by 2 i think.

It's the first minute of the day FA can begin. That's why they put it in there.

I dont think we're going to see a huge parade of guys released at the deadline...I think with the extra cap room and the extra yr added for prorating (5 now instead of 4) that you'll see alot of guys restructure to stay

just my opinion...there will be some guys cut but not near as many had there been no deal

I bet TO does not get cut today.

Don't expect much accept the teams over to have to do some cutting and thats only 4 to 5 teams.

By the way, is anyone even over the cap now that the CBA is extended?? If there is allways going to be 7-10 million added to the cap every year than will the Ratskins ever be in cap hell??

 

[DLK150]

Teams have until 3 o'clock central to renegotiate contracts, and until 5 o'clock central to be under the cap. So the deadline to renegotiate has just passed and there are two hours for them to get under the cap.

Free agency starts at 11:01 pm central.

Only a handful of team do still remain over the cap.
