Description

Leafs pull a “Chicago/Tampa/Vegas” LTIR situation - Muzzin lands on LTIR until playoffs. He’s struggled this season and likely just suffered a concussion. Let him rest and use the cap space to bring in upgrades for a playoff run

Leafs have been looking at both Giordano and Domi, and both fit what the team needs. Put the lines through the blender until options that work are found, but this gives Toronto a lethal top 6, and a well balanced defence core. Just hopefully the damn goaltending can pick itself up because it’s been horrid since December and it’s hurting the team.

You gave up more for Domi then you did Giordano. That will not be the case.

Leafs fan calling others out for Cap circumvention WOW THATS FUNNY the only difference between the leafs and (TB, Chicago VGK) is the leafs still can't get out of the first round when they do it .

Regardless. It’ll be picks and prospects for both deals. Could switch the returns if needed - the point is to use the LTIR space to add significant players instead of just depth guys

No one’s calling out anyone..

It’s a tactic to add to your team when you have little options. It’s not circumvention, it’s actually 100% legal.

I get it don't been saying that all along I never said cheating or implied cheating just pointing out that Toronto has done it too already and still been 1&done it's not like TML haven't gone over the cap using LTIR before
