Thread: Mtl to red
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Docbyars</b></div><div>I heard that as well, it wouldn't surprise me honestly, the buyout isn't terrible, the next two seasons the team isn't desperate for cap, and the extra two years is very minimal cap hit. Plus that fits the idea that the team can have players play the same role for less money.
And if arbitration gives Bert a one year deal then I believe he will still be an RFA at the end of it. (I haven't double checked that though.)</div></div>

With a Neilson buyout it will be more expensive in The 2021-22 season but I think its about the roster spot and trying to get players that are going to be around for a while into those spots right asap. All you have todo is file to open the 2nd window. The article below explains it very clearly.

Thread: Anything better than now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Sorry, you don't understand cap space and LTIR. Z's LTIR would not affect the Leafs or any teams cap space. Why would anyone think it's true?</div></div>

Because every writer, Asst GM, analyst, etc. says it will, for one (CapFriendly has a nice writeup about the LTIR portion of the CBA here: <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq">https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq</a>, or you can read the TSN article I posted above). Two, look at there current setup, and tell me how LTIR isn't helping them? Right now, they have $91.5 million in active players (if you don't count Mik and Johnsson). How are they able to do that without LTIR (which is giving them 10.5mm in space over the cap)?

Next year, they have almost $77 committed to 16 players. Approximately $4.5 mm remaining to sign a minimum of 5 players (required to have 21 players on your roster). They can go 10% over the cap in the offseason but have to be cap compliant on day 1 of the season. If they take on Z's $6mm, and they use that $4.5mm to get to the ceiling, and then put Z on LTIR, clearing another $6mm off their cap (like they did this season with Horton and Clarkson clearing 10.5).
