So apparently (believe it or not) Tampa addressed it at a Governors' Meeting a few years ago (prior to their Stanley Cup victory) - they said "hey, we should fix this."

There was no interest, so Tampa said "frank it" and used it to their advantage.

I have no idea why the owners don't want to address it. It seems like it would be pretty simple to get a majority of owners - ones who are bitter about Tampa and Vegas - doing this.

There's also the aspect of possibly needing the NHLPA to sign off.

So my guess is this will be a big discussion in the media prior to a new CBA. Whether or not it will be a big discussion between the NHL and NHLPA remains to be seen.

But always remember: the NHL never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

It's never going to be a big enough issue for the owners to dig in and risk another lock out.

I assume the NHLPA loves it becuase it means that league wide the owners are spending more money than the cap (or at least the rich teams are spending the money the poor teams aren't), and more players get a job as a result.

As I mentioned on Leafs Morning Take a few moments ago, it is believed that William Nylander is dealing with a head injury.



Makes a lot of sense

Fixed.

Except it doesn’t exist in the post season so no rule is being broken at all.

Your argument is nothing more than boo hooing about this. Once again no team is cheating because they’re not breaking any rules.

FEELINGS DON’T MATTER TO A BUSINESSES MONEY DOES

anyone who believes otherwise is a dumbass who buys into marketing

And f’n leaf fans… if Muzzin was good to go every single one of you criers wouldn’t be saying a bloody thing.

The part you're not grasping here is that they're not circumventing a playoff cap that doesn't exist, they're circumventing the regular season cap by getting that player to LTIR until they can hit the playoffs.

Is it legal? Yes, but that doesn't make it not greasy.

I'm also of the well if there's a loophole here to be exploited, why the (frank) are we not exploiting it variety. So there's that. Let's have Nylander break a nail pre deadline and load right the (frank) up just for him to hit game 1 in peak form.

So many feed the troll to some degree in this regard because so many people will click the link to read his BS garbage to then say what BS garbage it is but the Sun is laughing as all they care about is the clicks or papers sold.

It's hard to resist (I refuse to read his BS) but i don't begrudge anyone who does just to see how stupid it is and then share how stupid it is - but that's a W for the Toronto Sun.

Jim Montgomery is not a fan of the scheduling in the #bruins/#leafs series: "I would have rather been here Thursday/Saturday, if I'm being honest. I think we're spending more time in Toronto than Toronto's spending in Boston and we're the home team."

Boston is, what, an hour flight? If you give that much of a $hit, fly the team home after the game tonight and come back Saturday.
