Thread: Bye Marner Bye JT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Ginger_Leaf</b></div><div>This is terrible 😂, I’m sorry. The only likely trade happening is Marner. Jt isn’t going anywhere. <strong>He’s being a leaf until he retires.</strong></div></div>

Both guys have NMCs, both guys probably want to retire as a Leaf. Tavares is closer to the end of his career and has a family so his desire to retire as a Leaf is probably stronger than Marner's. So, sure he's less likely to get traded especially since the demand for him would be lower as well, but he could just as easily be gone the following year. He's going to have to earn his contract, but even if he's still an effective player, they might not want to invest cap in him due to his salary demands (he's a 7-8M player still, no guarantee he takes a discount) or simply because they want a change in direction. Marner is more likely to get traded but also more likely to get an extension. Who knows though, maybe both guys would be gone.

The proposed trade though is not happening. Makes little sense for Tavares and the two teams. If he waives it would probably be for BUF or OTT only and I don't think they would want him.

Thread: TAMPA OMG
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrBloopy</b></div><div>Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) - High Level Overview
To qualify for LTIR, a player must be expected to miss at least 10 NHL Games AND 24 days of the NHL season.
When a player is on LTIR, a team may exceed the salary cap.
You think you're smart lol</div></div>

This is what happens for injuries in-season.

Doesn't apply to a situation like this.

LTIR is not a get out of jail free card. If it worked this way every rich team would be $25m over the cap each season.

Tampa will be Seabrooks contract above the cap, then they LTIR him to be cap compliant. That's it.

The reason it was such a big deal with Kucherov is he came back and played after the cap didnt apply in the playoffs.

That obviously will not be the case with Seabrook.
