Expand But if they have the space now on the roster/cap to fit Clarkson, all Clarkson going on LTIR does is give you that space back. It's not like they are getting access to addition cap by having more LTIR guys. Quote

It's not like they are getting access to addition cap by having more LTIR guys. Expand True. Figured the deal was to free up cap space by having a cheaper backup goalie, but Sparks is making league minimum. Haven't looked at Clarkson's contract, maybe they were afraid of cap recapture should he retire? (Again, not sure if it was a potential issue, but if the contract was heavily front loaded, that MIGHT have been a consideration.) Quote

I think that both of them in Minny will finish their contracts. Quote
Tondas Posted July 24, 2019 Report Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I'm sort of serious with the offer sheet to Marner thing. If someone offer sheeted him now, wouldn't the Leafs have to match it now and the LTIR wouldn't work since they would need to be under the Cap before the season started, thereby making the LTIR moot, or at least putting the Leafs in jam.
