of all the guys Toronto signed, only Reaves got term on his deal...he's the cheapest, I get it, but still

and now they're capped out. can't even sign Samsonov.
if I'm not mistaken, you're allowed to go over by 10% during summer time. TOR is currently 8M over, so roughly 10%. need to move a contract to sign their goalie (who should take +/-3M).
and then lose another contract before game 1 to be cap compliant.

good. I don't trust the league all that much to deliver on their promises but at least it's supposed to move a little.

I know the NBA is light years ahead of the NHL in terms of revenues, but it's pretty crazy when you consider the cap there is currently at 136 million, and it's projected to reach 231 million by 2034-35... and to think basketball teams only have 15 players on their roster, jfc.

Part of it is that the players will have paid back the league for the covid years and their escrow will be reduced, impacting the cap positively.

The new TV contract is suppose to be a boon, but it is slightly in jeopardy, so we will see if it actually goes up significantly or moderately the next 2 years. I have heard anything from $2M each year to (overly optimistically) $5M in each of the next 2 years.

Big trade gonna happen, don't worry... plus the have some LTIR coming, too, I believe.

The worst part is they have yet to address their big challenge - their defence.

yep, if they trade Nylander for a 4M dman that would solve their cap problem. then the LITR would cover the rest.

Just because someone is posting about Max Domi at 2:25 in the night doesn't mean they're tired the next morning.

Especially not a cocaine man like Pat.

It's (frank)ing sad that he got any hate for being selected by a team.

Like he had anything to do with what happened except existing.

Agreed, I can disagree with the pick but i'm not going to boo an 18 year old kid who had no choice in the process.

I love you peanut and it's the offseason for everyone.

But I feel like your trolling game has taken a big step down since the switch to Vegas. You had a good surge at the beginning but it has dropped significantly since the draft.

We need you to be better moving forward and we have full confidence you can be.

We're here if you need us.
