I guess there’s a lot more too it when it comes to LTIR and creating more room for when the season starts, to sign Marner if he is unsigned.
- ClarksonDavid



Close to 11mil is space now to sign Marner.

Yes because as we saw, David Clarkson type players is how you win.

Bad trade for the Leafs unless they can get Clarkson to sign an extension.

I see Ryan O'Reilly. And curiously, Ryan O'Reilly never saw the playoffs prior to this season. LOL

How did Colorado and Buffalo do with him?

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

Not at all.

They swapped contracts.

Neither are contributing this season.

One costs 200k more.

They bought a 4th round pick.

The Leafs now could have as many as 12 draft picks in 2020.

Long been established that there is offseason ltir

Good old Lou. Decided he didn't like the rule so he told the league he was still gonna use the LTIR in the off-season.

Rule #1: Lou does what Lou wants.

No, but if Marner signs late, it helps a lot.

IMO, none of these RFAS are signing until well into August.

- RogerRoeper


Someone by the name Earl Schwartz just made a big post on Twitter about how this will help leafs sign Marner if he’s not signed to start the season. Doesn’t make a ton of sense to me but I’m sure there’s a reason.
- ClarksonDavid


Ok, I’m trusting you two on this. Slowly walking back from edge, but still disappointed we couldn’t get more.

One thing is for certain. Unless the #Leafs trade several larger contracts, they'll most likely be using LTIR this season. This would also suggest that they'll have a very difficult time accruing cap space as the season progresses, and any bonuses earned will result in an overage
