That was a recent conversation I had in a press box, a reminder of how many hockey questions involved numbers. A spectacular player such as Karlsson could certainly put a Stanley Cup contender over the top, if the numbers add up. The cap is $82.5 million and 15 teams exceed that amount today, with Vegas leading the way at just over $96 million. Vegas, Toronto and Philadelphia sit at the maximum, so it’s player out, player in for those three. Numbers will be flying as contenders search for that dream addition to put them over the top — maybe even Karlsson.
