What if he sucks this year?

A Weekend at Bernier's said:Probably more relevant in the GM thread but, responding to CTB's proposed roster, I think Carter Ashton makes the team. If so, and assuming he replaces one of Orr or McLaren, how does that impact the cap?

If Ashton is going to bump either of those guys off it will be McLaren. The coaching staff loves Orr too much. So assuming McLaren gets sent down and the Leafs call up Ashton instead they will lose about $140k of cap space.
So in the scenario where the Leafs keep Fraser their cap space would go down to $193,333. Not that big of a deal. The team will be in a situation where they are praying nobody gets hurt regardless. If they send Fraser down it goes to $1,118,333. In this case they only have room for one call-up instead of two. Although if they had to make two call-ups they could also swap Ashton for McLaren temporarily.
So it won't be a huge difference, but considering how close to the cap they are the Leafs will have to take advantage of every saving that they can. So I think McLaren stays.

Sorry for the kindergarten, er, ELKP 2 (sorry, early childhood education joke there) leve questions, but Mark Fraser would have to clear wavers to go down, right? I think that in this scenario Nonis should simply trade him for a third round pick (or whatever) becaiuse, honestly, I don't think he goes unclaimed.

Gardiner - Ranger

Flamboyant Worm said:I think any move that takes Fraser away from the front of the net is a mistake. To little value is placed on the possibility that he will knock you out if you take liberties with the leafs goalies.

Surely it would be Gardiner-Franson / Fraser-Ranger?

I know others can do this as well, but I don't want any of the other D taking over the job because they are unable or two valuable. And Fraser is responsible in his own end (see plus minus) and is tough enough to make our keepers feel protected

Corn Flake said:I don't believe that is entirely true. With $333,333 in cap space, they can have injury call ups come in and only count against the cap on a daily basis. Their salary is not annualized against the cap automatically.

Actually, it is. The team's cap is calculated by adding what the team has spent against the cap to the remaining cap value of all the contracts on the active roster and IR. So, while a player is up with the team, the entirety of what's left of his cap hit for that season counts against the cap. Teams can not have their accrued spending and remaining cap values exceed $64.3M (bonus cushion notwithstanding) at any point this season - though, allowances are normally granted for off days.
Corn Flake said:Not quite sure I follow but okay.. what about the old emergency injury call-up? There was a max 10 game (or in that range) window where a player could be called up without a full season's cap hit counting.
Peter D. said:Since we're bringing up cap implications, can someone clarify what happens if you retain salary. For instance, if the Leafs trade Liles and say they are retaining $1 million of his salary against the cap, does that pertain to each year remaining on his deal or strictly this year?
