I am reading something that is saying that a caphold cannot exceed what the player can receive on the open market.

If true...does open market include players current team(in this case Luka and Designated Player Max?)...or is it the max other teams can offer said player?

I read it as the max that other teams can offer.

Dont know if this helps.  Dont know if this is factual.

The problem is usually Luka would sign the extension next summer, in which case the caphold would count. I don´t know what happens, when you agree to the super-max extension before next summer. Does that automatically mean the new super-max salary eliminates the caphold, although the extension itself doesn´t start until 2022/2023? Also can you basically have a handshake agreement now, but not make it official until next summer (signature) to stay at the caphold?  

That is a pretty significant question, since it´s $15M in capspace we are talking about.
