[ESQ]

So far, the Leaves have had to trade:

- a 1st
- scoring depth
- best prospect

...and they still don't have enough space to sign Marner!

Can you name that "Best Prospect" they traded? Because the consenses is Sandin is their best prospect.

All over Twitter is talk of the Canucks terrlble cap situation. How could Benning litter his lineup with overpaid bottom 6 guys and a crappy Myers before he signed his much more important young pieces?

Funny, all I can see on Twitter/tsn/sn is vapid, uncritical shit that ignores the fact that the Leaves don't have cap space for Marner.

Since the canucks have room to sign Boeser today, and he's not eligible for an offer sheet, I'm not worried.

How are you feeling, Toons? Have you started your 2020 mock drafts?

Exactly trying to deflect criticism from the whinny Laugh fan base. They can only handle so much before they stop visiting the site.

Tuna, the BIG difference is that the Canucks are not hitting their prime yet. Toronto is fast watching the prime go bye bye because of signing PJ boy and fracking with other FA.

Then you have a stupid GM and an arrogant coach. Still no goalie and your defender got worse. Man you must be beside yourself watching your team implode.

But you are signing "Old Guys" for years thatw ill affect your cap. And Marner, Matthews, Nylander are 22, Rielly 25. Johnsson 24, Kapanen 23.

You have no cap to sigh Marner, Mathews will be gone once his contract is up. Nylander sucks.

They acquired 5.2 million extra today in cap, but you fail to understand, LOL>
You have no cap to sign Borser. LOL

Nylander will hit 70-80 book it.

Toronto can now go 10.55 over the cap if they choose.

Toronto can go 10.55 over the cap once the season starts.
They can add a huge salary at the deadline...

Only if Mitch Marner doesn't sign before the season begins.

Another option for the #leaves is to build a roster right up until the $81.5M ceiling, then place both Clarkson & Horton on LTIR once the season starts, and giving the club $10.55M in additional cap space.

This scenario is only likely if Marner doesn't sign before the season begins.

What are the chances any of these RFAs sign before the end of August? None are imo.

The Mitch Marner fantasy offerhseets never happened. He'll sign eventually.

YESTERDAY: They had $5M cap space and could go another $5M over the cap w LTIR = $10M to spend on Marner.

TODAY: They have zero cap space (less actually) and can go $10M over the the cap with LTIR = $10M to spend on Marner.

They didn't "add $5M in cap" you silly fucking dufus!

They can add a huge salary at the deadline...

They can add exactly nothing at the deadline (YESTERDAY and TODAY)... because they'll be using LTIR.

Yes, and you can go over the cap with that LTIR...

psssst... you're an idiot.

HINT: Teams that use LTIR all season end up with exactly zero deadline cap space.
