Nah just do what TBAY did this year to circumvent the cap. OIL could rest McD on LTIR then bring him back two weeks before the season like TBAY did with Kucherov and Stamkos lol
- LordHumungous


Stamkos was trade deadline circumvention + rest.
Kucherov returned for the playoffs only, after 9 weeks of skating, all rested and ready to go at 0 cap hit.

I would do a swap for Tavares and McDavid, Leafs would have to add of course, throw in Rielly and Andersen...but it would make the Cap work....and Edm still has two top centers in Drysaddle and JT and get a D and goalie.

JT, Rielly, Andersen and a 1st for McD

Then do one other trade for:

McNabb and MAF for picks/prospects/roster player?.


Hyman, Matthews, Marner
Micheyev, McDavid, Nylander
Galychenyuk, Kefoot, Engvall
Simmonds, Spezza, Brooks

McNabb, Brodie
Muzzin, Holl
Sandin, Bogo

Campbell
MAF (retained)

Who says no?

So you're expecting the Oil to want Freddy, even though you've been ripping on him hardcore all year? That's awesome.

Anybody see this.

No penalty. This is (frank)ing insane. Biggest star in the league.
What a (frank)ing bush-league this is.

The equivalent is if Matthews or Marner were hurt before the season and they used the money on keeping Kapanen and Johnsson + Ceci as replacements with the Cap. What a "WIN!"

Would the Leafs have made the playoffs doing the same thing? Losing a 120 point Hart winning player all year just to "Cheat?" Lose Marner all year "just" for the playoffs?

No cap in the playoffs.

Blame the league, not the team.

I have said the rule should be that you cannot ice a team in the regular season or playoffs who's combined cap hit is over the limit. That would fix the problem.

Agreed, and thus LTIR becomes truly an allowance for replacement only.

Wait - did the Leafs cheat with Nash/Andersen?

We were way over the cap after acquiring Foligno.

Bottom line is that the cap system is way too complicated. They need to simplify.

Why do you think they make the playoffs without the 4th leading scorer in the NHL other than the contempt of the division around them?
