I don’t believe that the current cap amount has been published but it is believed to either be the same as last season ($2.3M) or a slight increase ($2.4M). Based on salaries of current players alone this would indicate that there is approx $700K in available cap space. However, we really don’t have all of the facts that impact the cap.
Unknowns:
- Loan buyout costs for Olave
- Loan buyout costs for Morales
- The amount of Raphael Cox’s deal (likely $34K)
- The amount of Escalada’s agreement (before and after increase)
- The amount of Wingert’s new deal (I believe the amount above is prior to his extension)
- Buyout of Deuchar’s contract
- Allocation money used to offset Morales and Olave buyout
Here is what I do know:
- Escalada signed to a minimal contract until Apr 15th (probably $40K or so). If he continues with the team this will increase dramatically. I am guessing $100K - $150K.
- If Escalada stays past April 15th, there may need to be a salary reduced or a player cut. This means that we are close to the $2.3M cap number, or in other words the cumulative affect of the unknowns above must be around $600K - $700K. WOW!
- The Grabavoy signing may make a signing of El Khalifi a pipe dream at this point or may require another roster adjustment.
Good Values
- Will Johnson: at $51K he is likely the best value on the roster. He just signed with the team, but a great year this year will put a lot of pressure on the team to deal with him from a financial point.
- Yura Movsisyan: if Yura can follow up this season with performances like those he contributed at the end of 2008, then his $60K will be another great value. Yura is in the final season of his contract, so a good year could really pay off for him.
