Thread: Cap Errors Megathread
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>On the <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/reserve-list/goldenknights">Vegas Reserves page</a>, CapFriendly says the signing rights for <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/players/mikhail-vorobyov">Mikhail Vorobyov</a> are to expire on his 27th birthday. Vorobyov turned 27 on January 5, 2024. But <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/813310">Vorobyov's rights were traded </a> on March 6th as part of Hanifin deal (after he turned 27). Perhaps rights didn't expire as he is KHL player?

Other's whose rights should be expired due to 27th birthdate

I believe the rule on that is their rights expire on the June 30th after their 27th birthday

Thread: Leafs 2023 2024 Season Discussion Part 7 - Shambles
I'm going to give my little rant.

Rielly - The hate for him here is unfair IMO. He had 3 points in 7 games and was a +2. It was clear that he didn't trust Boosh the way he did Schenn. Last year on the rushes her would continue forward and press after the initial chance. This year he's always curl back and play defence first. In a series where the team was -4 its hard to take criticism against a D who was +2 seriously. We've know for a while Rielly isn't a true #1 and he isn't a PP QB. I think the hate comes from the fact that the PP was so bad. For reference McAvoy had 5 points and a 0 +/-. So I'm starting by saying Rielly is exactly who anyone reasonable through he was. He's the Leafs #1 but not a star #1. (BTW on the last play he isn't at fault at all, as someone who played D that isn't his fault in any way, even Bieksa said it).

Marner - HAS TO GO. Horrible in every way. He is one of two people to blame for the OT goal but also the entire season has been poor from him.

Nylander - As always the best of the core 4 in the playoffs.

Tavares - He's aging but he tried, he wins faceoffs and won most of his battles in Game 7, came up clutch at key times. Hard to criticize but the contract obviously sucks.

Matthews - Great player but they need to find a way to play the same defensive style even when he's on.

McCabe - Awesome.

Knies - Awesome

Lili/Sammy - Time to move on

Overall I think the summer needs to start with Shannahan gone (need a real new voice not just a puppet in Tre), Keefe and all assistants gone, Marner/Lili traded and Sammy walks. After that I think that there are a few directions the team can go but this is where it needs to start.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Nikita Grebyonkin (3 Years / $875,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CameronSquires</b></div><div>I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

I love Grebyonkin, he is looking to be such a steal for a 5th rounder, winning KHL rookie of the year last year.
I have high hopes for him

Interesting that they signed him for this year, is it to get him money for this year and burn a year?</div></div>

Yeah the timing must have to do with his bonus and the Leafs getting it under this year's cap instead of next years. That part is always confusing.

I had been waiting on this for quite awhile in one of my deep fantasy dynasty leagues but I cut bait when it didn't happen in time for my roster cutoff (since his KHL season was extended for the playoffs/championship).

Good signing (as in: he is coming to NA) so there can't be any complaints about it; there will be some roster spots at F between NHL/AHL that he can compete for
