Tampa Bay Lightning breaks the salary cap

They will definitely use space on the long-term injured list to place Brent Seabrook (6.875 million), salary that will be deducted from their payroll and thus, they will be under the $9045 cap.

You read that right, they will be under the 9045$ cap, unbelievable. They will literally have no wiggle room.

Remember that at the end of July, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced an 8-year contract extension with their number 1 center Brayden Point, a contract paying him $9.5 million per season (exactly the same as the one signed by Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy)

- Point, 25, had 48 points in 56 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season (23 goals) and 23 points in 23 games during the last playoffs, during which he won a second consecutive Stanley Cup with his team.
