Sure does if you have a roster of 20. No Grundstrom, no Kapanen no starting Dman.

Except it doesn't at all, because you have no 13th forward, no 7th defenseman, and no room for callups when someone invariably gets hurt. So, nice try, but no.

Well he’s a couple guys short but I’m sure it’ll still work. With the biggest hockey market being one of the major front runners to win a championship, a long playoff drive... hell, just in Johnny T jerseys alone, I’m guessing the cap could be up a good chunk in the years to come.
But to say this doesn’t work cause he didn’t add a 13th forward and plug in defenceman is stupid. There’s injuries and such as well, numbers are just all estimates.
Looks close enough and good enough for me.

If someone gets hurt they will have to play short handed in this scenario. Its not "close" its 3 nhl salaries and room for call ups away, meaning like 3 million dollars

Where is Andreas Johnsson? Pretty talented to just get left without a contract. Could be poised to be a top 6 winger.

No matter how u swing it it's going to be tough to make it all fit and still tighten the D up a bit.

If this looks close or good enough to you, I suggest you get your vision checked, because clearly your eyes are as broken as that Buscemi meme... Not adding a 13th forward or another defensemen is EXACTLY WHY IT DOESN'T WORK, you ******* dolt.

Lmao, buddy, read what I ******* said.
It’s close enough becaause half on the contracts are just rough estimates. So is the cap at 81 mil in 2019-20. If he’s short by 2 or 3 league minimum players then I’m sure Dubas can figure it out. We’re talking about like 1.5 mil.
Maybe the cap will be 82.5 mil next year? With JT jerseys, a competitive Leafs team, revenues should be up. I mean it’s went up 40.5 million in 13 years, which averages more then 3 mil per season. Problem solved.
Maybe Marner doesn’t make 8.5, maybe AM doesn’t make 11, maybe Nylander doesn’t make 7 and maybe Kapanen doesn’t make 2.1. I mean Brown signed for 2.1 and he scored 20 goals as a rookie, Kapanen has 10 points in his career.
Maybe an expensive player goes on LTIR and is replaced with a cheap forward? Who knows it’s all guessing and estimates. Maybe those forwards sign for even more, then we might have to ditch Gards or Kap, but we don’t know because we’re just ******* GUESSING.
I’m just saying, we don’t know what the cap is going to be next year and we have no idea what these guys are going to sign for. Maybe there’s some bridge deals in there or some hometown discounts, but that’s a completely different argument. But to roughly estimate everything and have it fit without a couple league minimum press box guys is ******* close enough. Idiot.

I'm sorry you are incapable of understanding the difference between "it all works under the cap" and "these are just estimates, buddy, I'm just saying," but you are in contradiction.

Also, I'm not your buddy, guy!
