You may be surprised to know that I was highly critical of Melnyk three years ago and his inability to clearly and honestly set out his avoidance of budget concerns. I do believe that the team has had a large infusion of cash from another party (perhaps a partner). The Sens will start the season with a player budget around $65m (less than $5m in available cap).

I'm actually puzzled as to why they'd even bother buying Cowen out. Stick him in the minors, leave him there.

With a buyout, his cap hit is $750K for 2years, total of $1.5M. If you stick him in the minors, total cap hit is $2.1M, but it's all next year. $600K more, but done this year.

Personally, I think the Leafs are more likely to need the cap space in 2 years, not this year.

Effing hilarious that the Leafs managed to dump over $35M in total cap hit, and take so little back. Some of which may end up as draft picks next TDL too. What a coup.

they actually get a $650k cap credit (savings) this year and a $750k hit next year on a cowen buyout. a team like chicago might see value in cowen's cap credit and actually trade for the buyout.

with michalek, bernier, laich and greening coming off the books there should be plenty of cap space next year even with the buyout.

Right now Toronto needs these to compete for a cup:

-A #1 center
-An elite #1 defenseman
-An elite goalie
-More depth

If Toronto had Seguin and Hamilton instead of Kessel they'd need:

-A #1 center
-An elite #1 defenseman
-An elite goalie
-An elite goal scoring winger

The Phaneuf deal was exellent for both parties dont really get why its being brought up .We are going to lose Methot either through expansion, or by him overpricing himself .Phaneuf and Methot are likely a wash in terms of actual play .Methot is a defense first guy ,that brings little to the table in offense.

Phaneuf while not as good defensively bring more offense while being a decent defender,neither of them in a perfect world is a top pairing guy .We have some hope in Chabot maybe one day getting there ,but we just dont know .So we traded dead cap for a servicable top 4 guy to fill the gap for both now and the near future

I'm assuming he means Horton. He's desperate so pointing out that the Leafs have to pay his salary because the contract wasn't insured like anyone associated with the Leafs gives 2 poops about that.

This site shows over 7 MILLION in salary being paid, by the leafs, to players not on their roster for 2016 - 17.

Your argument is with this site not me.

You may argue the whether it's Buy out cash, salary retention or whatever ............ the team is paying these players, and they will not be on the roster next season ......... and the cost gets passed on to the ticket buyers.

Wel if you knew what the (frank) you were talking about you wouldn't be making these simple moronic mistakes. Why is Cowan listed there at his full salary? If he's not on the leafs next year then he isn't on their cap at 4.5mil is he? If you had half a brain you'd know that. People have told you you're wrong here and yet you keep coming in here trying to shove it down our throats. So my argument isn't with the poopty site with incorrect info, it's with the idiot using it and continuing to use after its pointed out its wrong.

I don't need to argue over semantics. You said "salary retention" so by what you said they have one.

Your comments would take on a lot more meaning if you toned down the personal insults. I think you are right in what you are saying but it is hard to figure out the primary point your making through all the invective.

You don't have to get so rattled ............. take a deep breath, and just look under the Heading of "other" where Cowen, Gleason & Kessel are listed, along with their 2016 -17 salaries.

If the site is wrong, it's not my fault .............. but please explain where those salaries/buyouts belong, and who is paying them.

In the end these expenses are passed on to the ticket buyers... AKA the highest average ticket price in the NHL.

This site does look a bit more detailed, but now when you add the "Injured Reserve", the "Buyouts ", the "Retained" & the " Buried" salaries for 2016-17, they total almost 13 MILLION ............ which again gets passed of to the ticket buyers.

Considering how gawd awful the leafs have been over the past decade (one playoff appearance) and being the worst team in the entire league last season ........... the cost of correcting(?) the past decade's ineptitude (almost 13M) is not something leaf fans should be lauding as a virtue of the organization.

This should be seen and "rock bottom", so perhaps is a way leaf fans can now see something better from this franchise in the distant future................... but I would not hold my breath.

At least he's playing for the team, and playing top four minutes ............ the leafs have 13 MILLION on the books for next season that will not even set foot on the ice.
