The lesson here is, lie, deceit, and cheat. It will get you to places in life.

 

NHL, where lying, cheating, and deceitfulness are not only tolerated but encouraged.

 

Provided you are one of the NHL darlings...

What exactly is the problem with this. Leafs still get same cap as anyone.  Any team could have traded for Calrkson. 

 

I don't understand why ppl saying leafs getting special treatment.  

 

Exactly what special treatment are the leafs getting. Maybe I'm missing something.

Just as every team could have signed a player to the same deal Canucks signed Luongo, but Canucks got shafted retrospectively.

From what I understand prior to trading for Clarkson the Maple Leafs only had around $7.4 million to sign Marner.  This is because Horton's contract was not LTIR eligible as the Leafs were under the cap.  In order for Horton's contract to be LTIR eligible the Leafs would have to have been right at the cap and then they can exceed by the amount of LTIR money they have.  So by trading for Clarkson it accomplished two things.  One it put the Leafs right at the cap, or just over it.  Two, by doing that Horton's LTIR money now kicks in as well as the new LTIR money of Clarkson, so now the Leafs can exceed the cap by $10.55 million as of right now to sign Marner.  If they did not make this trade they could not have signed Marner without making another trade.  So effectively they gained over $3 million in cap space by trading for Clarkson.  Without trading for Clarkson they would have only been able to exceed the cap by 10%, or a total of $7.4 million.  If it was any other player it would not have worked because then they wouldn't have been able to exceed the cap via the LTIR money.

 

Actually this is a good move by Dubas, and I am sure he received this advice from Gilman who is a cap specialist.  The Leafs effectively gained $3 million in cap space to sign Marner right now as well as getting a 4th round pick.

Now lets see if the league will punish leafs as well....

Trading for a guy who hasn't played in 3 years and won't again is in good spirit?

Hmm Maybe the Canucks should reach way back and sign Bobby Orr and Pavel Bure  and have them fail their physicals because of their knees and we get more cap space and sign Marner or whomever :)

 

Trading for players  who haven't played in years shouldn't even be a consideration and yet the NHL head office has vetoed other team trades or signings

No you don’t work in this stuff every day... or if you do, don’t let your employer see these threads and how bad you are at it.  I already destroyed you in a previous thread where you claimed expertise in these things.

 

A decade in labour relations; another few years in contract interpretation and negotiation with CBAs for tens of thousands of employees; and another decade in writing and reviewing contracts with vendors and suppliers for projects into the hundreds of millions... all informs me that you haven’t a clue.  You at best took a first year course in it,  but didn’t learn much.  There are a lot of experts around much more knowledgeable than me about contract, but probably not on this forum... and certainly not you.

 

You can’t even read simple contract language like this CBA as illustrated by your repeated glaring mistakes that have been pointed out by everybody... the NHL CBA is like a Kindergarten version of real ones out there in heavily unionized environments.

 

I guess if you think you are trolling and bothering me, I am happily drinking a 16 year old scotch and reading other threads, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to rebut you.

Ouchhhh :)

So "goalie of the future" who was "tens times the goalie Demko will ever be" per the former from Canadian Sports networks and the latter from CDC when both were in AHL has been traded for dead money.    

 

People who want to be negative about everything done by the Canuck organization but praise other organizations that do crazy crap - think about the following as just two examples:

 

- Canucks traded Demko right now for Clarkson's contract

 

-Canucks brought in Neal to be EP40's winger (that is what they are talking about in Edmonton).

 

 

If either of these things happened, this board would implode with negative comments about incompetence of Benning.

the first being that lucic actually was traded

I'm not surprised Lucic was traded. I AM surprised that Treliving so willingly bent over for Holland on surrendering all leverage and didn't get more in return.

that is the worst contract in the nhl

who else would have taken it ?


and as bad as that trade was the flames still saved 10 million dollars by doing it

the oilers in the end paid a big monetary premium to move lucic

We should convince Luongo to come out of the retirement and trade for him for a 7th rounder to Florida. Then, Luongo goes on LTIR to eliminate the penalty.

 

The fat that NHL approves this sort of trade is a joke.

No one. Rob is just trying to appease the mob. Make up a fake narrative to gain favor amongst others.   

 

Sparks is 3 years older than Demko and the two aren’t at all comparables. The leafs closest comparable would be Joseph Woll. Leafs 3rd round pick in 2016. He also went to Boston collage putting up solid number. He Also played for team USA at world juniors. Both played 3 years of NCAA and then signed there deal.

 

He’s the closest thing leafs have to Demko.

Rumour is Luongo wanted to go on LTIR but Florida said nope. To save some money.
