This isn't how the NHL works.
But you know that, and you're not here to actually have a discussion, you're merely vexatious. Wish I had that kind of free time bud. - mcleafs
It's actually exactly how it works. Players get paid to produce. Having players that are overpaid is a bad thing. 6.25 in cap space is more valuable to the Leafs than Marleau is at this point.
They can't use all of the space available this year. Have to keep some to cover the bonuses that Matthews/Marner will make on ECL deals. If they don't then those bonuses count against next years cap when they can't afford to waste any cap space. So need to save 3-5 mill of this years space to accommodate the bonuses those guys will definitely be getting. - Dr. Leaf
well, 'they' would know exactly how much there's to spend. Gotta learn to trust the client sometimes, f'n lawyer

Yes, exactly. But this isn't a video game. But again, you know this. Or sadly, you actually don't and actually believe points is everything and hockey can be fully read on a spreadsheet.
The contract structure is pretty obvious. - Unholy_Goalie

I’ve been saying this for a while. Make him a leaf ambassador in the press box or a assistant management job but get the 6.25 off books. What’s the name of the island that lupul went to? Manage that
Leivo has played 41 games for the Leafs, most of them with very limited minutes and has 9 goals.
He sits in the press box for 14 games straight while Nylander has 9 goals in 54 games of power play time and a regular #1 line shift.
Marner has 9 goals in the same 54 games with a regular shift.
Neither have ever been in the press box despite a complete disinterest in defence.
If Leivo played a regular shift he would probably score 30 goals in a season.
but he needs to improve his skating, like Bo hired a speed skating coach for example
Oh my - walshyleafsfan
So sit Nylander or Marner in place of Leivo?
No assists in those 54 games either for them right?Just 9 goals..

I kinda agree with UG on this one as can any human being carry out all the promises we make in life private or public? If Dubas can make this team better in the future he has got to do what he has to do. When he said it he meant it in scincerety but let’s live a little and see what happens this season. Coke really bothers me though. - BreathLeafs2015
Me too, it gives me nosebleeds.
Just kidding, I don't do coke I just like the smell of it.
