Hello, Ka—and welcome to English Forums. Perhaps you can get an idea (better than I) of the meaning of 'cap space' in this Wikipedia excerpt: Generally, the practice of retaining veteran players who had contributed to the team in the past, but whose abilities have declined, became less common in the era of the salary cap. A veteran's minimum salary was required to be higher than a player with lesser experience.

- A veteran's minimum salary was required to be higher than a player with lesser experience.
- This means teams tended to favor cheaper, less experienced prospects with growth potential, with an aim to having a group of players who quickly develop into their prime while still being on cheaper contracts than their peers.
- To offset this tendency which pushed out veteran players, even those who became fan favorites, the players' association accepted an arrangement where a veteran player who receives no bonuses in his contract may be paid the veteran minimum of up to $810,000, while only accounting for only $425,000 in salary-cap space .
