The cap goes down to 65M next year so this is the best time for one of your stars to hit free agency. It's going to be an awkward fit for a year or two given that teams operated under a 70.2 million ceiling this summer. I can see some of the star players signing short deals and wait for the dust to settle before signing a longer deal.

I know the Blues are not a cap ceiling team and will have the space for Pietrangelo but the market has changed a lot.
