How much carryover is expected? I heard they’d be looking at 5.4 million which would work in this situation.
I've repeat this endlessly about the rules of performance bonuses. Look at the Leafs roster next season on cap friendly folks just might understand.
OK here is goes again. So you make a 2018/19 Leaf roster. You have to include the performance bonus carryover form 2017/18 which is going to be a 4m, You have to create "another player:. Now what I say next is tricky but factual. IF, IF the Leafs want to no PB carryover from 2018/19 into 2019/20, which is probably wise for the Leafs because for the high RFA signings the Leafs the Leafs would have to do the following:
1. As shown earlier they have to have 2017/18 PB into the cap space 2018/19 (create a player for 4m)
2, Pay PB of 2018/2019 in the 2018/19 of about 4m in 2019/20. (create another 4m player)
3. In order of to pay 2018/19 PF in 2018/19,Horton' 5.25m salary has to shown on the opening day roster. And this roster has to cap compliant to the 80m So that's 4m and 4m and 5,25m that if often ignored when creating teams. Horton then can be placed on LTIR after game one and the Leafs have 5.2 in cap flexibility for the season.
So assuming the Leaf don't want any PB carryover into 2019/20, the Leafs sign their UFAs, the Leafs have about 11m for UFA signing for 2018/19.
