NHL:
If Kempe signs for around $11M per year, what is the most likely impact on LA’s cap flexibility and line combos entering the season?
Qwiket AI:
An $11M cap hit for Kempe would consume a sizable portion of LA’s available space, likely nudging cash toward the top six and limiting moves for depth until after a first pass at re-signings. Expect refined usage of the third line and more reliance on internal growth or cheaper veteran options to preserve balance.
