How are the Leafs going to re-sign all three of Muzzin, Barrie and Clarkson? This team had too many pending UFAs as it was. Really short sighted move by Kyle Dubas.

Not to mention Rielly in 3 years.

Siegel is wrong anyway, they have to use part of the cap space they have for Clarkson, when they put him on LTIR they just gain the space back.

He's wrong but he's right?

He's right

I don't see how thats true, they only created the extra cap space by ditching Sparks.
Trading for a guy that goes on the books and then comes of the books doesn't give any extra relief.

5.25 mill extra relief

Even simpler version. The league cap limit is 83 mill. But for the Leafs its 93.55. The Leafs technically have 15 mill in cap space at the moment to sign marner if need be (5.3 horton + 5.3clarkson + the 5 they already have) Dubas is pretty much a sneaky genius if ya think about it.

No their cap can't go past the 83 mill or what ever it is, just cause they have 10 mill in LTIR doesn't mean it's on the cap. those guys won't play, they still have 3.8 million in cap space.
Tradiding for Clarkson puts them over.
Actually after losing Sparks they had 4.5 mill in cap space minus the Clarkson contract.

Sorry, you can go over in payroll but you can't exceed the the cap.
Facts Jack.

Too many n***as not enough hoes!

If Clarkson won’t affect the Leafs cap because of LTIR, why did VGK have to trade him to clear cap space?

Cap friendly says leafs can build a roster with projected cap hit up to 92 mil then put both Horton and Clarkson on LTIR. Just go read around. I’m not going to pretended to know how any of it works that much but to say this does nothing then have a bunch of credible sources saying otherwise seems weird.

You're arguing semantics. The leafs gain space becuase of the ltir.

You guys are dulling tf outta this place with your cap space jibber-jabber.

Breaking News - Horton and Clarkson are both having stem cell surgery and will be available for opening night. Divas then trades JT to Vegas for Sparks. The circle is complete Obi Wan.

Still not a cap cause both Horton and clarkson won't be on the cap, that will be the payroll.
Leafs still only have the 10.5, maybe more now that Sparks is gone.
Leafs are not allowed to go over the cap just like any other team.

It's just so weird watching people argue about it when they don't know enough about it and others have factually laid it out. But you know he's right and all else are wrong

You’re right. I think dubas and pridham were bored. Someone should tell everyone else saying otherwise online

Really? so the projected cap hit is 92 million and when the put Horton a Clarkson on LTIR what is the cap hit?
Thats right it's now cap compliant, 82 where it's supposed to be.
Tell me how again that they gained cap space?

They're at 83 or whatever now with those 2 guys but them on ltir and they now have 10.55 or something. Is it that difficult to understand.

There is lots out there from people who know more than you talking about this and laying out how it works. Is it really that hard to do a little research.

The leafs are allowed to go over the cap by the amount of ltir they have. Horton and Clarkson are still on the cap but the leafs are allowed to spend over the cap by how much their cap hit is. So leafs can go over the cap by the amount of their contracts but their contracts eat up that cap space so it's basically like they're not on the team. No benefit beyond that.
