I guess they can go over the cap with both of Horton and Clarkson? More space for Mitch?

 

[Bender]

Ummmm?

Yeah. So basically a 4th rounder for Sparks

This is... odd. I get the theory I guess, the Leafs know they'll be in LTIR territory so a bit more doesn't hurt. But only getting a 4th rounder in return seems low.

 

[Nik]

Because of LTIR and the small amount of actual money left on Clarkson's deal, it's more or less meaningless for the Leafs to take it on. So a 4th for Sparks and saving Vegas about a million bucks in real money.

Mainstream media is hilarious. McGran seems to think this gives the Leafs more cap space.

Reading some of the replies to Friedman and cap literacy seems dangerously low among the gen pop.

Somebody better break out the abacus and give us some plain language and diagrams with arrows and
other sorts of statements on WTH is going on here.

I'm literally screaming. He's acting like Horton and Clarkson aren't on the cap and then saying they can go over the limit by their caps...

(this is wrong)

How does it work ? Horton is 5.3M and Clarkson 5.25M aren't the Leafs able to exceed the cap by 10.6M once they're at the 81.5?

 

[Bill_Berg]

Maybe they should trade for an elephant and get his weight in cap space. That's how the cap works right?

If any of this is accurate it may explain why Gardiner hasn?t sign a contract with anyone yet?

So it's essentially like extra cap space even though technically it's not. Let the propeller head Pridham worry about cheating the cap while we enjoy.

The Leafs cap situation is literally the exact same as it was an hour ago. They just have an additional 4th rounder. They only have about $10mil in cap space aka Marner's contract.

Why bother making this move? Let Garret move on?

They got a shiny 4th rounder.
