I'm a huge Leafs homer and even I can't see how the NHL doesn't go over this. What are the odds the LTIR adds up to 1$ under the perfect amount

The odds are great when you sign a contract designed to do just that. There’s a reason Patches signed for such a specific amount, if you’re using LTIR you want to be as close to the limit as possible for maximum relief. They did this two years ago with ZAR, waited until right before the season started and signed him to a very specific cap hit.

Montreal traded him, was he suppose to stop playing hockey that day in support of the team?

No he just wasn't supposed to play for Toronto.

Habs legend Josh Gorges once blocked a trade to Toronto because it felt too weird playing for them. That's the spirit !

More seriously I know he can't say no to any opportunity where he's at in his career and he did well to secure a deal. I just wish it was with another team
