Thread: Next game assuming Robertson is ok
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Been over this with others... no the mou had nothing to do with this. In fact I think it was with you so please don’t make me post cba in here.</div></div>

As Chris Johnston just said minutes ago: <a href="https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1350816936884629504" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">You are wrong.</a> It is on page 19 and 20 (item 61) of the 2020/21 Transition Rules.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Leafs do not need to include Robertson when setting the ACSL... I believe but I will need to look into that. The other thing you are missing is that it is not the cap hit you see here but their averaged cap hit to set ACSL.</div>

Robertson cannot be removed from the roster and can only go to IR or LTIR. Either way he must be used for setting the ACSL. Your last point is irrelevant to the fact that they would have $821,667 in cap space if they put Robertson on LTIR and they will not go that route.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Ltir would put them directly back to where they were before Robertson got hurt.</div></div>

It will not. Not at all. To get full cap relief when placing a player on LTIR you need to be as close to the cap as possible. The Leafs' are not and it would be near impossible for them for them to get closer before they would put Robertson on LTIR. According to capfriendly the Leafs' have $668,201 in cap space. Robertson has a cap of $821,667. If they put Robertson on LTIR they don't have: $668,201 + $821,667 in cap space (which would be the case if he could send him back down), they would have $821,667 in cap space - losing the $668,201 they currently have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Leafs will use Ltir most likely... depending on injury. Leafs can not use emergency call up until they start a game with 19 players due to cap space, meaning dell would already need to be waived.</div>

Under the new MOU you do not need to play a game with 19 players before you can use emergency recalls (although the MOU was not completely clear that if applied to all circumstances, and because this has nothing to do with covid they may need to play a game with 19)

Thread: Trade Idea Just For TheLeafsSeason
The Leafs' should trade Lehtonen, but it should be for a pick, not a player.

The Leafs have too many NHL ready D and that is going to cause nothing but problems - both now and long term. As Mirtle at <a href="https://theathletic.com/2181559/2020/11/06/mirtle-mailbag-should-the-leafs-play-at-bmo-plus-eric-joyce-line-combos-more/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> responded to a question where the person said that having too many NHL ready players is seen as positive thing.

"Normally its a significant negative."

And that is in a normal season. Wait until the Marlies don't get permission to play and the Leafs' are playing a 27 year old who is UFA this summer and was not good enough to make the starting lineup despite the advantage of having played all fall simply because they feel they need to play free wallets.

Thread: What I still Dont Get
"Why did we even bring two KHL player's. Clearly showed last night that Barabanov was bad and Lehtonen will be bad."

Pretty simple. The team is terrible at development, and refuses to properly integrate young players into the lineup and therefore relies on free wallets instead. This was what the Detroit model really was (despite the myth that Detroit overcooked their prospects until they were ready to take major roles, the reality is that their team was built around UFAs, over-seas free wallets, and the odd prospect who was good enough to play immediately. Their prospects just rotted in the minors never becoming anything because the team would never give them a chance).

Imagine playing Barabanov when Robertson has no where to play. The same goes not developing young D because you need to play in a bunch of games a 27 year old D who will be UFA in the summer and despite having the massive advantage of having played all fall couldn't crack the opening lineup. And then, of course, there is the effects that it has on the rest of the team knowing that management treats one group of players completely differently: the free-wallets, who have never played an NHL game, but are guaranteed a spot and need to thoroughly play themselves out of the lineup.

But the fans won't care as long as 1 in 10 free wallets turns out to a middle six winger like Mik.

Thread: next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habsfan01</b></div><div>sure he will hes only 22 and defenceman take longer to develop</div></div>

This is a commonly believed myth, but the difference in age is only slightly older. Among D, drafted in the first 2 rounds who become top-4 the average age when becoming full-time in the NHL is 20 1/2 years old. Most of those who are older than that were delayed because either they went the college route or stayed in Europe. Liljegren has spent 3 years in the AHL and is not among the team's top-8. I don't blame Liljegren. The team is very bad at developing D. His chances of becoming a top-4 are very small and certainly not next year.

That doesn't even count how this year will most likely be a completely lost year for development. It is looking increasingly unlikely that the ON Gov will give the Marlies permission to play in the province and the Leafs' did absolutely nothing to prepare for the current reality with their top prospects. In fact they were so stupid as to not have Robertson go to the WJC.
