"I think if the cap was $86 or $87 (million) then I think it would work out. It's just the cap never moves, and (goalie Stuart) Skinner is due a raise, (defenseman Evan) Bouchard is due a raise, (center Ryan) McLeod is due a raise," Holland said. "We made a deal for (defenseman Mattias) Ekholm at the deadline, so there's got to be those same players that if you go back to prior to the trade deadline, there was no Ekholm at $6 million and Bouchard is at $1.7 (million), McLeod's at 800 (thousand), Skinner is at 750 (thousand) and now Skinner is at 2.6 (million). It's just the evolution of how the system works, so the money gets moved around."
