Thread: How the heck are they under the cap?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clark</b></div><div>first Horton will be able to get full 5.3m cap hit relief. with the five % cap escalator the cap. should be 83m minimum or likely 83.7, not 79.5

so with that 21 roster of yours. that's 7m more I believe. two bottom players that's 2m, nylander and Mathews can make more, there is another 2m. might be 3m cap space.</div></div>

Sort of. That's not really how it works. They can use if and when they need it, and they can only go over doing in by signing one player. The Cap will also not likely go up 5%

in 2015-16 it went up just under 2.25%
in 2016-17 it went up just about 2.70%
in 2017-18 it went up just over 5%

It is highly unlikely the cap jumps another 5%, but, we'll see.

Defense is still atrocious.

Thread: Keeping everyone under the cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>superbrett</b></div><div>I think Kapanen, Marner, Nylander and probably Matthews all sign for more money. Gauthier will be traded or non-tendered. Ennis will either be not good enough to make the team or too good to make $1 mil. Edler isn't very good anymore. I like the Sparks contract.

I don't understand why people want to trade Brown? He loves Toronto. He knows his role and he has 20 goal potential. If there is an injury to any of the other RW he is a very valuable depth piece that can fill in. He's is keeping the Leafs from rushing prospects (Bracco or Timyshov) or having Josh Lievo play on anything but the bottom pair. To me he is a great Leaf and I wouldn't be in a rush to trade him.</div></div>

Only way I see brown gone is to upgrade on D, brown wont fetch a top dman but could be used in a package for a undervalued dman like pysyk or honka. Not too sure how undervalued pysyk is in florida but would be a perfect fit imo. I posted a trade on here (before JT signed) brown + carrick + 2nd rd pick for pysysk and mccann.
