Thread: How I Understand it Works
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I get the feeling that the only people who really understand how this LTIR stuff works are the actual professionals and legal eagles.

We just had a nice earthquake near here -- I went on the government's earthquake map (a commonly visited site here in SoCal) and see that there was one today in British Columbia, too.</div></div>

There are some technical issues with LTIR. But then fact is teams are not cap punished for having injured players. And for some reason some folks believe LTIR does not apply during the summer. That's false. Teams get cap freedom when a player is on LTIR....and especially useful if you know the player is going be on LTIR all season.....Horton, Clarkson and Hossa come to mind.
The only really affect having a player on LTIR is in might affect when a team can pay it's performance bonuses....whether that year or the have to deferred to he following. That's the reason Horton was on IR not LTIR ;last year with the Leafs. Leafs wanted/needed to pay their Bonuses last season instead of delaying them to the expensive (Matthews/Marner) this season.

Thread: Leafs with Nylander signed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blanche</b></div><div>The cap hit remains the same during the contract, regardless when you pay the player, term divided by sum$$. Sign Nylander for whatever term and cash that would permeate a trade in the summer when they will require cap to sign Marner and Matthews. By doing so, Toronto would assure themselves the best scenario to try to win the cup this year.</div></div>

The point the author of this post made has been well documented and is correct, as long as the first year is all salary and not bonus money. If its bonus money then then it won't affect the cap hit in years 2-6. Also don't trade Nylander, you won't get fair value and trading him for less than fair value is just poor asset management. There are other trades that can be made to improve the line up. Losing a Nylander trade to upgrade 1 defenceman isn't a good idea unless you are getting a guy who could be a legit #1 someday and that just isn't going to happen.
