I thought he wouls stay on the cap.

Nope. Ltir doesn't count on cap space (technically it does, but it allows the team to go over the cap by the ltir amount)

oh boy.

For what it's worth, Buchnevich has scored the 3rd most points in KHL history for a player under 20. The 2 other players ahead of him are Tarasenko and Kuznetsov. For as good as Duclair was for us in the preseason and early in the regular season, Buchnevich blows him away in terms of value and ceiling. Buchnevich is a legitimate bluechip prospect. Top 15 in the world.

Circumvents mutual stupidity.

Leafs for giving the contract to Clarkskon.


Jackets for not insuring Hortons contract.

Ok. Not giving up jvr for him...and not giving up kadri for Hayes.


Those aren't even close.

Leafs will pay 26 mill for Clarkson and his cap hit to go away.

They came to an agreement that made sense for both team ... nothing wrong with that.

From what I've read, club couldn't insure because Horton coming off injury.

It's not insured which is why clb wanted out from it in the first place.

MLSE prolly has some type of excess or umbrella policy.

Yes. Buchnevich is a top 15 prospect in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD.

Not straight up, but Buchnevich and a 2nd would require JVR.

You guys saying Buchnevich and a 2nd for Bozak is like me saying Jesper Fast and a 2nd for Morgan Reilly.

I'm so glad was someone was equally as stupid as the Leafs, good one Columbus

Buchnevich - Hayes - Duclair will be the best line in the NHL in 5 years.

No. Adding a 2nd is still miles away. You're way off.

Which is why I think they couldn't get insurance.

If all we got back for a 30 goal scorer was a 2nd and Buchnevich I'd fire my gm. So don't exagerate.
