How does this $3 million accrue against the cap? Is there any impact this year? Does it all apply next year?<\/p>\n<p>Aarif\u2019s Response<\/p>\n<p>Burns can earn up to $4 million. Let\u2019s pretend he does, since it\u2019s likely. If, when all is said and done, the Avs have $2 million in cap space at season\u2019s end, then the other $2 million in overages will be subtracted from next year\u2019s cap.<\/p>\n<p>By being able to sign Burns to one of those contracts (because of his age), it allowed them to have the ability to kick up to $3 million of his cap hit into next season. They have to account for his $1 million base salary for sure this year.<\/p>\n<p>Question from Mocha Man<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/paypalme\/colhockeynow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CHNS-Tip-Jar.png\" alt=\"Contribute to CHN's travel and support local journalism!\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the first part of the December Avalanche Mailbag, I covered questions ranging from Brent Burns\u2019 cap hit&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[1222,7817,1223,831,47314,37774,385,147847,12705,99],"class_list":["post-349467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-avalanche","tag-brent-burns","tag-colorado-avalanche","tag-featured","tag-jared-bednar","tag-mailbag","tag-nhl","tag-sam-malinski","tag-samuel-girard","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
