Thread: Too Early 2425 Opening Night Roster Projection
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TSTTrocks</b></div><div>The RD would have to be short term and under 5mil to be a fit. Even then Yzerman would have to buy out Holl which I'm sure he isn't psyched to do. I haven't watched enough of the free agent class to see how much better those guys would be in the 2 pair then Chiarot but it'd have to be a very significant improvement to make these changes make sense.

I'm personally in the camp of being patient with signings, playing kids, and using our metric **** tonnes of cap space and assets next season to land a star and actually be a contender.</div></div>

Only bad thing with the short term RHD is that most players aren't willing to sign that unless they need a prove it deal.
I don't mind being patient but would still like to see this team improve a bit.
I'm not sure who would be a target at free agency. The options aren't that great and likely most won't hit free agency. Also I could see most wanting long term expensive deals at the age of 29 or 30.

Thread: Loophole
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pasha123</b></div><div>That is true, but since Zetterberg isn't playing anymore he will be on LTIR for the whole year from day one. so effectively a team can go over the cap by the amount of salary on LTIR. it doens't give the team actual cap space just allows the team to replace that player up to his cap hit. The closer to that players cap hit a team is the better. That's what Toronto, Arizona and numerous other teams did last year.</div></div>

I still don’t think you are quite understanding. This does absolutely nothing to give them any wiggle room. Infact since salary is no longer accrued daily it actually gets worse come deadline.

Toronto was already in Ltir. They picked up the clarkson contract in case negotiations with marner ran long in order to get the ltir relief they needed to sign him.

If the cap is 81.5m and you spend 82m you are over by 500k. If you add a player to ltir and you now spend 88m you are still over by 500k.
