Thread: trying
Marner, Mitchell 7 $10,200,000 - overpaid by about 1Mil AAV, but not the worst... so i give this grade a eh
Mikheyev, Ilya 4 $1,200,000 - crazy, we have not seen him play, and any depth player you sign 1.5Mil and under, 1-2 years tops... you can literally find them in the bargin bin every free agency
Marchment, Mason 4 $1,000,000 - crazy term yet again. 4 Mil for an unproven guy who is a depth piece at best. Bargain bin hunting if he plays over his worth
Gauthier, Frédérik 5 $1,000,000 - crazy even worse that Marchment. 4th line centers grow on tree's. We got Spezza for 700K for a year. Bargain hunt. Every 100K of savings matters from a cap Team
Dermott, Travis 5 $3,000,000 - Great COntract, I like it... keeps him locked up long term as he breaks out
Harpur, Ben 4 $1,000,000 - this guy is literally the worst. the exact opposite of what Dubas wants his Defence to be. Throw this $$$ and Term in the trash and send him to the marlies
Kivihalme, Teemu 4 $1,000,000 - WHO??? WHY the term FFS
Bracco, Jeremy 4 $1,000,000 - eh, he hasnt proven anything yet. And Again why the term. Trade him while he is a mystery box and worth more than if he tried in the NHL and failed.

Muzzin, Jake 6 $5,500,000 - Not bad signing. I would rather sign Barrie and we have Dermott and Sandin almost ready
van Riemsdyk, Trevor 6 $3,000,000 - big overpay for a 3rd pair. Also the term... jeeeeze, thats what screws teams over the most. Dubas needs flexibility and this is a big overpay.

Thread: CLARKSON TRADE IS MASTERFUL FOR BOTH TEAMS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Maj</b></div><div>what does full relief mean ?</div></div>

Ltir is an equation. It is there for teams right against the cap. If you have cap some ace then you do not get the full relief for the ltir player. This is why Toronto put Horton on IR last season rather than ltir. The leafs needed to pay performance bonuses last year (they carry over to the next season if you don’t have enough seasons ace the season they are earned) so they needed to keep roughly 3.8m available past season. Since ltir relief can only be used to pay player contracts and not to payout performance bonuses this means that even with Horton on ltir they would need to stay 3.8m under the salary cap. By staying that far under the cap they would not recover any relief from the Horton contract. How’s e this example gives a bit of a clearer picture on how ltir works and doesn’t further muddy things.

The main purpose of ltir is to help teams that are trying to ice the the best possible team. If a player goes down to injury and can’t play the ly are not only short that player but the cap space as well. Ltir alllows the team to replace the player with and sufficient replacement even if they were already tight against the cap before the injury.

Thread: CLARKSON TRADE IS MASTERFUL FOR BOTH TEAMS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Maj</b></div><div>Ok I understand now..... It felt confusing since Cap Friendly doesn't let you go over the limit of cap funds if you have a player in LTIR, it just deducts it...which makes it difficult to understand the Clarkson situation since it won't matter here</div></div>

<a href="/users/Maj" target="_blank">@Maj</a> <a href="/users/Bigphil" target="_blank">@Bigphil</a>

Don't feel bad. 10 minutes before the Clarkson trade I wasn't sure either. I was able to confirm with Banks in one of the forum threads how it works correctly.

LTIR is ******* complicated! My explanation above is accurate but its also still very simplified. There are other factors like ACSL that make things even more complicated.

Long story short: this trade makes the Leafs able to sign Marner now if its for max 10.5M and it gets Vegas the necessary room to be cap compliant if they decided to start the season right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bigphil</b></div><div>I know that but they cannot sign Marner anymore during summertime. LTIR is only good when season's open. Marner won't be able to sign until season start. I think Toronto want to precipitate an offer sheet.</div></div>

The 10 % cushion only applies to teams during the off season. The LTIR can apply at any time during the year. They are not reflective of each other. Being able to exceed the cap due to LTIR and teams having 10% cushion in the offseason are two different things.

Example - Habs could spend approx 90M in cap right now if they wanted to but by the time the season starts, they have to be at 81.5M maximum. LTIR lets you exceed the 81.5M by the amount of those players contracts if you are already at the ceiling.

LTIR just lets the teams exceed the salary cap by the amount that player minus how much they were below the cap. So if Toronto is at 81M they can place Horton and Clarkson on LTIR for 10.55M extra to exceed the cap by. So their cap could be 81+10.55 = 91.55M if they want. (Assuming they sign Marner to 10M, they'll be cap complaint.)
