He could but you wouldn’t understand.

Well I could try.

I'm not sure how it is "not possible" but I certainly don't pretend to fully understand the cap system.

Not of us could. MJL is very, very smart.

Also, mob shooting literally around the corner. I think I’m going to move to Chicago where it’s safe.

Has to be a mechanism to replace injured players.

Trump had to identify a camel, a hippopotamus and a lion. There’s a reason he got into Wharton.

Let it be known that he did not identify the animals correctly..

You can in the situation I suggested. As long as the iced team in any particular game is under the cap.

The team actual payroll could be whatever you wanted, as long as the roster for any particular game is under the cap.

No you can't. Look at how many teams Cap spending is over the 81.5M Upper Limit. You have to be cap compliant for every game, not necessarily under the cap.

Now that the Leafs schedule has been released for the return to play series, is anyone cancelling their plans on August 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9th?

I'm not sure we are understanding each other. I was suggesting completely changing the rules.

Regardless, my suggestion would allow teams to get out of terrible contracts by simply not playing someone, so it wouldn't fly.

No I understand you. You don't understand the reason for the cap. Not playing someone doesn't remove their cap hit.

To be fair, he did state "If they completely change the rules" and "it wouldn't fly"

No sh!t.

I would argue the point of the cap is more to increase parity in the league by preventing rich teams from acquiring all of the top talent by out bidding small market teams. My suggestion accomplishes that goal.

Regardless, the real issue with my suggestion is that it provides rich teams the ability to bury bad contracts by not playing them, which the league doesn't like.

But..but..but Leafs are in cap hell.

Funny Canucks have yet to see the playoffs and are already capped-out without Pettersen signed. NEVER, EVER overpay for supporting players like they've done. Tyler Myers is a pretty damn poop DMan. And Beagle gets 3 million per. Yikes.


But Leafs 4 players 40 million, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Up to $750,000 and possible jail for any Jays breaking quarantine. I sure hope they apply that to all teams if they play games here

I do hope that MLB applies some strict rules, but jail time?

I'm pretty sure there's going to be a bidding war for these contracts.

Also, what a joke, we get the sword of damocles (Weber's contract is still a thing) thanks to the same kind of thinking but you guys get a to write a "get out of jail free" check.

You just confirmed it. You don't understand the cap. The cap is to ensure the 50/50 split of HRR between the players and the league. Your suggestion doesn't make any sense.

Government takes people coming in from virus land seriously. Those are max penalties obviously.

It’s a bigger issue once season starts and teams are going back and forth through Florida
