No, they would still be in LTIR and wouldn't be able to acrue cap space as the year went on.  However, they wouldn't have to run 20/21-man rosters once Hyman returns.  So you are half-correct.

https://twitter.com/CapFriendly/status/1178686438906454016 Even closer than what that guy tweeted. Also, Liljegren on the roster still is for cap/LTIR calculation reasons AND if they wanted to claim someone on waivers he could be sent down tomorrow without having to clear waivers. 

I think offering support for your teammate support in the media doesn't mean the person condones the act.  I don't think you need to take the tough love approach in the media- that can and should happen behind the scenes.  Without a doubt having that sort of honest conversation is definitely...

And its a cap hit that actually eats into Carolina's cap space- had they not traded Faulk they would have been over the cap.  Arizona had tons of cap space in 2016-2017 they weren't using on their roster (as they were a budget team).

I agree with all of the above.  And I'll add one more thing: I think its going to be a hell of a lot easier to get mid-tier players on "steal" contracts.  Ultimately, there are a heck of a lot more mid-tier players to go around and if you treat your stars well and you put out a contender every...

Babcock himself didn't know.  That doesn't mean that nobody in the org. knew.

The performance bonus part is not used to calculate the CAP HIT the player has during that season.  Example:  2017-2018 Cap Calculations https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/mapleleafs/cap-tracker/2018 Marner, Matthews, and Nylander only have their signing bonus and salary shown in the cap hit...

Its funny you say that because last season they would have been considered overpays.  Remember, Nylander got a similar cap hit for SIX years, not THREE.

Performance bonuses would be pushed to next year.

Yeah, I was going by memory based on the tweet I added.  It goes back 5 years, which includes his biggest point producing year.  Don't get me wrong, I think he's overpaid. 

Probably because he's like 4th in (Edit: PP) goals for defensemen in that span.  Doesn't have the assists, but goals are a premium. https://twitter.com/BBarts/status/1176559530873892865

I could see them going with Jarry.  Financially it makes sense as his 675k cap hit is LESS than Hutch and allows us to upgrade from Holl for the 7th D/21st roster spot when healthy.  Numbers wise, he seems pretty equal to Hutch.

Whenever I watch Moore play I see him do the same thing as Kapanen- transport the puck from dzone to ozone.  He's the main reason why the 4th line had great possession numbers when he was in the lineup- doing exactly that.  Kapanen would likely take better advantage than Moore at having such...

Completely agree, I'm not trading a forward to make them both fit.  That's why I handicapped the chance of getting BOTH at 0.1%.  Basically, they have 16M to spend on 6 D-men (assuming cap rises 2M, a little conservative compared to current estimate). They'd both be taking under-market deals for...

I would think Dubas would probably be fine with losing Muzzin in the expansion draft if he managed to keep both Barrie and Muzz next season (on like the 0.1% chance it happens).  Gets to have Muzz in the lineup for one more season and then another team absorbs his long term deal as he begins to...

Or use a bunch of ELC/Cheap D-men: Rielly - Dermott (3M) Sandin - Barrie (8M) Marincin (750k) - Liljegren Would work, for instance.  Highly unlikely we can keep both of Barrie and Muzzin.  PS I put very little thought into the above.  I'm sure an upgrade on Marincin could be had.  Muzzin...

Have you seen their Capfriendly? They, like the Leafs, have 8-9 players on their projected roster on ELC/sub $1M deals. What's interesting is the allocation of dollars:  All of Tampa's mid-tier forwards are between 4.5M - 5.5M each.  All of Toronto's are between 2.25M and 3.5M.  I personally...

His name is GoatWhisperer- I'd question his sagacity. (But he's right that Ceci should be moved well before any of Hyman, Mango, Kappy)

Goatwhisperer is right.... I made a mistake above and had Marner's vanity cap hit incorrect. Only way to have a 21 player roster with Sandin, Hyman, and Dermott is to have Goat as the 12th F and Holl as the 7th D.  (Unless you demote Mickey or Moore and bring in a cheaper forward, then you can...
