Is there a limit to the number of contracts can be these LTIR (retirement) contracts one team can have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckpuckluck1 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So what happens now if a team offer sheets Marner for more than 10% of the cap? How much is that exactly? and how many picks would it cost? I would love to see how the Leafs could turn that around and match it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t go over the cap by 10 % right? They might have no choice but to let Marner walk. Maybe thats what they want so the blame can be on Marner. They likely know he wont sign one if they are making this move now. I kind of hope some crazy ass GM convinces him to sign one though.

Aspie Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Let’s be honest, the Leafs haven’t really done much to open up more cap space. They just took on a contract they can put on LTIR (which won’t affect the cap) for a contract they would have been forced to bury in the minors (which a percentage would still go against the cap). They saved pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks did this it would create an instant significant penalty for cap circumvention. Edited July 23, 2019 by Silver Ghost 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I wasn't sure how long it'd been since he played. I thought Columbus originally acquired Clarkson for Horton because they saw that Clarkson could play and Horton couldn't. I guess that's not the case lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Don't Horton and Clarkson have to be included in the cap for opening night? If so, being able to place them on LTIR is great, but the Leafs have to first be cap compliant. It's not like they have a lot of high $ contracts for players who are waiver exempt (e.g. the Canucks could theoretically paper down Boeser to the AHL to start the season if they need to move around some contracts for opening night and then bring him back up once they start using LTIR). I'm probably missing something but seems odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Clarkson is owed 1M, Sparks is owed 710k. The cap is probably irrelevant once Clarkson goes on LTIR. So its basically a 4th round pick for 290k (difference in the contracts). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I would laugh if Clarkson recovered suddenly and the Leafs had to put him on the roster. This move seems kind of pointless for both sides though. I think TSN was just starving for a Leafs headline so they did them a favour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The move Leafs nation has been waiting for. Even more improved this summer than they were yesterday. What next? Dubas never fails to impress.

Well not really because even without the Horton and Clarkson contracts they will still be at the cap ceiling. They still have to sign Marner at under $10.5million and plug a couple no-names into the roster if they want to be under the cap with the LTIR artificial cap. Maybe it’s just because I look at those players as non-existent because they’ll never play another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
