Thread: 19/20 Leafs' Cap Projections
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>If the Leafs keep him on the roster this year...very possible they can pay all their Perf Bonuses this year without carryover. Next year he can be on LTIR, the Leafs can spend to or near the cap, and only have about 400,000 estimated in Perf Bonus carried to 2020/21.</div></div>

I totally expect them to keep Horton on the roster this season, see attached for my 18/19 projection. <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/158321&amp;post_id=542064">https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/158321&amp;post_id=542064</a> It's all about being cap compliant with his contract on the roster to start camp to begin the 19/20 season that is the concern. With the massive raises expected, one of those contracts would have to be withheld until he was placed on LTIR. With LTIR, you are only able to gain relief for the amount over the cap it carries on the day the player is placed. Unless the Leafs are significantly over the cap that day, they will not gain the full 5.3M of relief. Hopefully there is no PB carryover from this season to compound with the retained Kessel contract. Any amount of the Horton contract that is not able to be placed onto LTIR is only going to add to that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You know that Horton has a 400,000 thousand effect on the cap hit, it just delays the PB one year. Hardly signifiant at all. Does cheaper Arizona want to pay 5.3m out of pocket for Horton,,,,doubtful.</div></div>

It's not about his effect on the cap hit, it's about being cap compliant with his 5.3M aav on the first day of camp before he can be placed on LTIR. That is going to be impossible with how tight the cap is. His real salary paid in that last year of his contract is 3.6M which is why it's appealing to team's like Arizona (could also look at Ottawa and possibly Vegas). I also understand that his contract is not insured for the injury he suffered which makes dealing a player like this tougher (which is why the Leafs have not spent the assets to do so yet while they are not in need of the space). Please explain the only $400,000 cap hit of he stays?
