GDT: Leafs vs Red Wings: TVAS TSN4, 7pm - Last Home Game. No Injuries Please.

[Martin Skoula]

Has anyone considered that Holl and Woll may be colluding to raise the status of the -oll class?

 

[mikeyz]

Miss last playoff?

"Last playoff"? Key thing there. "Last year".

Yes I did and he was good. But he's nowhere near that level this year. So last year means absolutely nothing.

 

[keonsbitterness]

When you consider this is technically the game 7 of the regular season, our performance makes sense

 

[Larcos_Unal]

I am very thankful we have Stolarz signed

 

[Aashir]

what's sad is columbus is winning 3-0

if this version of the canes came yesterday we might've seen the BJs make it in

 

[yubbers]

one of these are going to go in and it's gonna be sundin-esque

I have a feeling he's gonna score a few goals in the Sens series

 

[Cleetus]

one of these are going to go in and it's gonna be sundin-esque

it will be like when he scored his 500th against Calgary in Overtime!

 

[yubbers]

I am very thankful we have Stolarz signed

such an underrated signing.

Half the reason I have more hope than I've had in a while

 

[keonsbitterness]

"Last playoff" as in last year? Yes I did and he was good. But he's nowhere near that level this year.

He was nowhere near that level at the end of the 23-24 regular season.

 

[MSZ]

This Crosby pass is pretty:

 

[keonsbitterness]

it will be like when he scored his 500th against Calgary in Overtime!

Shorthanded! One of my favourite Leaf goals.

 

[Cleetus]

I am not even worried about Woll, at least there is no Samsonov

 

[Aashir]

lagesson you were a leaf what the f***

 

[Zonk]

Thanks for the clarification.

While not a loophole, I'm curious if it was negotiated on purpose or just an oversight?

Are there many of these, and if not why not? What player would turn down better odds of NHL salary over 100k / days available. Odds are most players aren't getting a full season, so it isn't likely to be $100k difference. ($100k / 186) * 10 days for example would be the loss in a 10 day call-up. Compared to 0 days * one $billion if they can't fit your contract in.

Full disclosure: I do not know the answer to your question, but I can guess.

I am reasonably sure that the emergency replacement rules were negotiated without regard to the signing of NCAA free agents (or any other free agents). I was too lazy to look it up before, but here is the rule for the AAV:

Under NHL/NHLPA CBA Article 50.10(e):​

A team may recall a player on an emergency basis as long as the player’s cap hit (AAV) is $100,000 over the league minimum or less.

This limit is in place to prevent teams from using the emergency recall as a way to sneak in more expensive players outside of the salary cap structure.

I was aware that there were some AHL players who could not be called up as emergency replacements because their salary was too high. I had not heard of NCAA free agents choosing to sign for less than the maximum in order to be eligible as an emergency replacement until the Leafs did it reacently, but it makes a lot of sense. (IMO, it would also be wise for any UFA for sign for only $100K over the league minimum, but I am not an NHL player or agent.)

Hope this helps.

 

[Aashir]

holl you too?

what the f*** man leave our guys alone

 

[Forgotusername]

Of course the Refs won't call the second penalty.

 

[likecheese]

Is it October, there's 2 huge pumpkins stationed next to the penalty box.

 

[Maple Leaf]

I wonder if the Red Wings fans are happy with the performance of Justin Holl?

wow

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I am not even worried about Woll, at least there is no Samsonov

He's been solid this year. Stolarz has been better and is the starter but we have two good options for once.

Don't know why so many are like Twilight fans with team Stolarz vs team Woll.

 

[Aashir]

9 minutes?

that's about 2-3 minutes too much berube

 

[Cleetus]

kind of feel bad for the guys who spent a lot of money to come watch this game.

 

[Aashir]

might be the only time tanev moves away from a shooting lane

 

[Mr_Fun]

Yeah, blocked shots aren't a thing on this night.

 

[Mr_Fun]

kind of feel bad for the guys who spent a lot of money to come watch this game.

It's inter-squad(s) scrimmage at best.

 

[MSZ]

It's inter-squad(s) scrimmage at best.

A lot worse than that. In scrimmages the bubble guys would do anything to try to make the roster. This game is all star game level bad.
