I was having a pretty good day until this.

Not really if they ship out Franson for a draft pick, that gives them wiggle room. If he ever gets to arbitration, the Leafs will be stuck with his 3.5 plus he will get.

Trades




But I came for the Cheese

Cap geek shows us with 13.8 million,
More than enough to get gardiner, franson, reimer, holland and ashton under contract.

It's actually better now than I thought it would be.

They have a lot more than 5 mill BTW.

I think there will be at least 2 more trades to be done..

Reimer for something..

Franny for something, maybe picks..

Leafs have 13 milly left ...not 5 Michael. Enough space to be creative if he wants.

I think the moves indicate that Nonohan is scared - not about money - but about term. Call it the Clarkson-effect.

yeah I don't get the cap space thing. I've seen others stating low space available as well. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

I checked cap geek and they have Toronto's cap space at close to 13 million, not 5

ok

That's interesting that Kontiola is actually leaving money on the table by doing this. Hopefully if he has that much a personal motivation to play in the NHL it will show in his effort.

How exactly are the Leafs in a difficult cap situation?

What could they not accomplish on July 1 that was attributed to their "difficult cap situation" I'll wait for your stupid answer.

I think some are reading their actual salary instead of their cap salary, $63,191,667 vs $55,152,500, big difference there
