At best he's probably #16.

CapFriendly seems to disagree with the Athletic on some salary calculations, still looking at 47.5M in actual salary for the year compared to a 65.9M cap hit! https://twitter.com/CapFriendly/status/1156238664025935872

They just subtracted 2m in actual money (difference between 3m Condon salary and 20% of 4.7m left of Callahan) and added 3.4m in Cap hit  LOL Yes, more than double for sure.  Leafs paid a whole bunch of bonuses before shipping players off and Capfriendly has them at 98M in expenditure for...

Did Erne file for arbitration?  If so, they could buy out Condon and only have a 400k cap hit this year (1m next year).  If they just bury him its a 1.35m cap hit this year, which is the route the probably go anyways since they will be under a much bigger crunch next season when Vasi's deal...

Ok.  If Hyman is moved he'd have to be replaced with a cheap guy, so that does add 1.5m to the picture.  Still looking at 10m or so for two top 4 d-men, unless you are really willing to put one of Sandin or Liljegren in the Top 4.  And if you are, you are basically running 3 rookies if you are...

Over the past two years, he's in the Top 60 among d-men in P/60 at 5v5.  He has great shot share and good microstats (ie transition).  Without PP or PK minutes that certainly holds him back from a bigger pay day but I doubt you'd get him to sign for 3 years without it starting with a 3.  Shorter...

I'm not sure things really open up that much next year.  It will be nice to not be in LTIR, but we'll have approximately: 53m on 11 Forwards (including Marner at 9m) 7m on 3D (Reilly, Sandin, Lily) 5m on Freddie 1.2m Kessel Retention So 66.2M on 15 players. And you have approximately 17m to...

I agree with you.  Out of the (non-Sandin) options right now, I'd lean strongly towards Marincin over Harpur and Gravel.  Even when Dermott returns, I think I'd rather have Marincin in the lineup as the 6th D over anyone not named Liljegren or Sandin. Rielly - Dermott Muzzin - Barrie Marincin...

The Ottawa Senators as run by Eugene Melnyk.  After acquiring a bunch of players whose bonuses were paid by other teams or getting players with back-diving contracts (plus only having to pay 20% of the salary of their IR players): :o :o :o...

Ah, they would still be on LTIR.  But my point still stands:  you can place a player on LTIR in the summer (if they have no chance of returning) to open up cap space to bring on other players.  You don't have to wait until the start of the season.

It important to remember you can put players on LTIR in the summer if they have no chance of ever returning.  It would end up on Capfriendly as SOIR (season opening injured reserve).  That way you don't have to wait until day 2 of the season to make a deal like Marner's official. (or any of the...

He's actually earned more than that.  He hit multiple Schedule A bonuses in every single year.  At least 3/4 each year, and more likely 4/4 in most of his years.  https://puckpedia.com/salary-cap/entry-level-performance-bonuses The sticking point was that he only got Schedule A bonuses and...

As much as I could argue re-signing Muzzin over Barrie due to lower expected cost, two things jump out at me: 1.  Muzzin's skating isn't the greatest- I'd expect an earlier decline 2.  LHD vs RHD It makes me believe the premium cost of Barrie (probably in terms of both AAV and term) is...

If they are going to split the minutes evenly then ya, maybe spread it around anyways.  I'd still prefer to see a more top-heavy 1st unit that goes through Marner, and a 2nd unit that goes through Spezza with Nylander as more of a shooter (mirror image PP setup... Spezza, on his off wing...

Wouldn't Rielly have vanished?

Interestingly, his possession numbers are decent when paired with someone decent.  (Last year anyways) Ceci + Chabot:  52% Both were under 50% when away from each other. Just playing DA here.  I don't expect him to be good, but I'd live with passable for 1 yr until a young guy can step in. ...

Extremely happy with this trade, even though I'll miss Kadri a ton.  Once Tavares was signed, I felt like Kadri would eventually get moved for two reasons: 1.  Take advantage of your surplus C on a good contract... its kind of a waste to have him on your third line if you have holes elsewhere...

Yes, it has to be mutual.

Didn't Orpik get traded to Colorado, bought out, and then re-signed with Washington all in a matter of two weeks?

3.  Bad shooting luck. Lets face it, his first month or so back he was totally out of sync and while we can say that is totally expected in hindsight it definitely hurt.  After that initial period he played fine- tilted the ice in the Leafs favour but did suffer from some back shooting luck...
