So if that’s the case, dont the Leafs only have 10% of the cap remaining being 8.2mil left to sign Marner?

That's still more cap than the teams that are supposedly about to sign Marner like the Islanders.

$200,000 for a 4th round pick

now we can accurately value what a draft picks costs.

This means Leafs can use the 10.5 LTIR if they sign Marner closer to when the season starts

Each team can go over cap by 10%. Now, that’s all the leafs have left and it only equates to 8.2 mil IIRC.

They do have an additional 10.5 in LTIR to use.

Did the leafs get the 4th or did Vegas? The Vegas blog says they got Sparks and a 4th for Clarkson.

Should get more than a 4th if we're taking back Clarkson, though.

His contract is 1 million, covered by 80% insurance so 200 thousand left on it. That’s it.

The circle is now complete.

Leafs got the 4th

Clarkson can now retire a Leaf.

All of his cap hit is buried, and his remaining salary is only $1m, 80% of which is covered by insurance.

Now that we have both, does that mean that we won the Horton-Clarkson trade, or that we lost it horribly??

Leafs got the 4th

May the fourth be with them.

Still took a useless contract off a team that wanted to get rid of him.

Dubas sucks. I’ll wait for Vancouver fans to tell me how (frank)ed the leafs are cap wise.

Well, 2 5ths because Doobass

Time and space have no meaning in the Clarkson era.

Clarkson can now retire a Leaf.
- RogerRoeper

Hopefully he can at least jump over the boards once during the preseason

Yeah, paying 4 miillion for 4th liners, that's the way you win!

And they took a useless goalie.
- ClarksonDavid

He was in net against the Devils for Game 82 that sealed the Leafs’ last place finish, resulting in Auston “Overpaid” Matthews.

And they took a useless goalie.

your username is finally relevant again!!

But we could simply just lose Sparks on waivers or demote him. I’m baffled as to how we only got a 4th for Sparks and taking on Clarksons contract? And if Clarksons contract on the IR was no big deal, why was LV so quick to get rid of it?

Clarkson's deal does allowe the Leafs an extra 5.2 over the cap in LTIR. So that is important.
That could be used for Marner's deal.

Veas is over the cap NOW, so they need that cap space before the season starts. They are in the worst cap situation right now.
