Glad he is back. Especially with the current injuries.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS​

PROJECTED CAP HIT

: $85,393,116​

PROJECTED LTIR USED

: $0​

PROJECTED CAP SPACE

: $0 (-$2,893,116

)​

This signing puts the Leafs about $3 mil over the cap and perhaps LTIR can be used with some of the injuries.

Did you drop out of math class half way through high school .

I know math is hard but this is just such a lazy post.

His math skills are a Mess.

 

[SprDaVE]

Just so bizarre but hey whatever, it's done. Glad to have him back.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

This is an elite day!

Why? They both won imo, this is what he is worth.

It's the same contract except for the structure. Makes the QO $1.6, but if both Sandin and Liljegren play up to their potential, the QO will be a moot point.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Exactly, he did what was best for him. It baffles me how fans are pro ownership. I will always be pro player. They put their body on the line day in and day out. Every player should try to make as much money as you can. One injury could end it all.

In this day in age we take private corporations as saints and critical thinking as conspiracy theoriests so no this doesn’t surprise me.

Sandin did nothing wrong and he's here 1 real pre season game in. Some of you sound like jilted lovers lol.

3 games in.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

3 games in.

I said "real" pre season earlier. I don't count those rinky dink back to back scrimmages....and he could only play in 1 of the 2 split squad scrimmages, so he's missed 2 pre season games at most.

aha I think i figured it out.

if the Leafs trade Holl for picks, then they actually have room for 3 league minimum spots which would give them a 21 man roster instead of 20.

That would mean kids who make over 800k like robertson holmberg steeves etc. are in tougher to make the team.

Malgin would have an easier time making it. ZAR would have to sign for close to league minimum too.

Win for both.

Not really. If Sansin is worth what he thinks he's worth and plays well his QO (and Liljegren) will be a moot point. It's only worth fighting for if you think you are going to need it. Purely symbolic he needed to outdo the Liljegren contract.

From that symbolic sense it's a win for his side, and by extension, I guess you could say a win for both.

 

[Buds17]

Good and fair deal here. I imagine this was about opportunity as much as it was about money though.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Fair deal. He should’ve just signed it two months ago.

 

[Jozay]

Good. There was no reason for the Leafs to give in and they didnt.

 

[kb]

I said "real" pre season earlier. I don't count those rinky dink back to back scrimmages.

So playing mostly AHL'ers yesterday was a real game, and playing Marner, Matthews and Tavares in the other preseason games were 'scrimmages' ?

Leafs are 2 and 1 in the preseason.

 

[BertCorbeau]

same deal as Lily

Of course our cap nerds always figure out a way to get us an extra player when needed so they probably don't need to finesse it this hard anyways.

 

[ULF_55]

Wonder if Jarnkrok gave him a call?

 

[zeke]

Willy was talking to Ras every day he said.

Probably telling him "trust me holding out won't get you anything and could ruin your season".

 

[kb]

Hoping this makes for a ZAR signing next.

Must be fun to make up your own rules to mock other posters.

lmao

 

[crump]

Watching Kerfoot breakup rushes and make slick outlet passes probably got him worried.

Glad it's done, now he has to come and get up to speed.

Good detective work. To me, this is our best lineup, even taking away the cap concerns (if you exclude having Holl as a 7th).

That Gio contract is pretty clutch.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Well that was a big waste of time. Now let’s move forward.

"Soft hold out".

That's only because of the salary cap. Otherwise no one would give a crap.

The cap was a brilliant corporate move for many reasons, including focusing the ire on player's cap hits, instead of where it should be - the artificial construct used to cap player's salaries which created this issue in the first place.
