We can but I have no interest in doing so with any player of note. There is little worse than making a significant trade with a division rival and coming out the loser. Quote

Apparently between Clarkson and Horton both on LTIR, the Leafs will get an additional $10.5 mil in cap space once the season starts. They will probably wait til the season begins to announce a Marner extension.... 1 Quote

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. 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

Hossa, I don't think is the same thing. And the other are not likely, as the rules behind this nonsense are going to change in the next CBA, that I agree with you on. 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.

Marner still has to be willing to sign, I bet they already talked it all out with him and his agent. If not then taking on clarkson's contract was the dumbest move they could have done.

Well sure, but it takes two. There isn't any indication Marner wants to leave. Quote
