NHL TEAM SALARY CAP RANKINGS: The top eight Which teams do the best job managing the cap and avoiding pitfalls like no-movement clauses and buyouts? scotmaxw's final instalment of the series:
The Devils have been a team that’s seemed poised to finally take the next step, especially after several straight offseasons of savvy decision-making that have only been deterred by bad luck and bad goaltending, but those smart moves are at least made more apparent by the Devils finding themselves in second on our ranking. The system really likes the team they’ve iced this year, which makes this positioning a big gamble, but I think there’s plenty to be excited about if you’re a Devils fan.
The fact that the system does like their team puts them in a favorable spot for cap space to skill differential, especially when they’ll have even more space if they go over the cap with Jonathan Bernier on LTIR. The additions of Dougie Hamilton and Tomas Tatar last season, and Ondrej Palat and John Marino this season, make the team look really good, and the fact that they’re all on good deals really helps their good contract percentage.
Their biggest weakness is their dead cap space, although a majority of that is a byproduct of the mistakes made by a general manager who appeared in the bottom eight of these rankings with his new team, and that’s Lou Lamoriello.
