Thread: Leafs try again with The Core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mferraro</b></div><div>Teams that have a lot of cap room trade for those contracts because they will count against the cap for low or no real dollars. No contract will provide LTIR relief unless you are at the cap ceiling, then, any contracts on LTIR kick in.

I don't see where it says that he will not be LTIR eligible in the offseason. The rule I quoted doesn't state that it will at all. Unless there is different language in the CBA you can find then he will not count against the cap. Muzzin is injured indefinitely and I don't think they will have trouble proving that.</div></div>

He doesn’t count towards the cap right now, but at the start of the season, he gets taken off the LTIR and has to be placed back on. Hence why I said he will count towards the cap for the start of the season. Unless Toronto is going to save 5.5m in salary space, he should be traded

Thread: Leafs try again with The Core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mferraro</b></div><div>"LTIR can be used in the off-season while the 10% off-season cushion is active. LTIR in the off-season is calculated using the basic equation outlined above, which permits a team to exceed the off-season salary cap. To use off-season LTIR the team must provide doctors proof that the player in question will continue to be injured at the beginning of the regular season for 10 NHL games and 24 calendar days.

At the start of the season the teams LTIR relief &amp; ACSL is recalculated when the 10% cushion is removed."</div></div>

If I’m not mistaken, that last sentence states that with Muzzin still in Toronto, at the start of the season, his 5.5m will count towards the cap… hence why teams trade players that are on LTIR (Weber, Datsyuk, Seabrook, Clarkson, etc.)

Thread: Leafs Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Apples and Oranges.

Apples and Oranges. Last year, Hawks had one goalie under contract. They needed a veteran goalie. And they had a brand new GM running his first ever draft who was looking to make as big a splash as possible to start the rebuild. Totally different now. Hawks still have Mrazak plus 3 other goalies signed to NHL deals. And Hawks have WAY MORE draft capital than they had last year. Murray isn't a need for Hawks so Leafs pay more than moving back 13 to dump him. And Muzzin is a non starter in this deal. Hawks don't make the trade if Muzzin is in for a 2nd. Hawks don't offer better than Dallas 3rd (#93) and in that case Leafs probably don't make the trade.</div></div>

Why wouldn’t Chicago just sign a goalie in Free Agency instead of trading for Mrazek? Because they got a 1st. Same is the case with this trade. Who wouldn’t want to move up 20 spots into the 1st round for 1 year of Murray? And they don’t have to pay Muzzin, as he’s on LTIR, insurance pays him not the Hawks
