Does the team not have to pay those ltir contracts? Maybe I’m misinformed?
I’m not sure what the actual dollar amount is
About $4m but that's not really the point. Even without Marner signed they'd be aiming to pay that $4m anyway.

Why would they do that?
I was under the impression they got the clarkson contract to help with the Marner signing

They had Horton already, and like you said they acquired Clarkson. That acquisition wasn't so much as to "Help with Marner" (it does help with Marner), it more "Helps gain optimal efficiency of LTIR cap relief".
Let's say Marner was offershat away early in the summer for a set of picks so Leafs don't have to plan for him. They will choose to do things like resign Gardiner, maybe they still trade Kadri and Zaitsev to upgrade the defense but who knows. The point being is that they won't want (or need) to run the season using only $76.2m in roster players ($81.5m - $5.3m). They'll want to use $81.5m in roster upgrades. To do that, they need to go into LTIR, and to make optimal use of LTIR, they'll want to pull in something like Clarkson's deal in so that they can go into LTIR before they have an actual in-season injury and still use up as close to 100% of their potential relief possible.

Kane and Toews won 3 cups before getting their huge 8 figure deals. Matthews, Marner, and Tavares for that matter haven't won diddly squat. Dubas is like the trustfund kid playing with his dad's chequebook.

I keep laughing at the "we can, and we did" etc comments.
It's like they had only 25 million to sign the last 3 big contracts. OF COURSE THEY "COULD"
It is to what extent they "should have".
We can and we will/did sound slike a kid with daddys bank account who just overblew his wad on 3 guys lol. Of course they were going to sign them.

Marner was overpaid... not our money, so big deal. The Cap will be a challenge, but that's why they brought in Pridham.
Now we get to sit back, and see what happens on the ice. Everyone is in camp on time, nobody is missing games. 11 RFA's for other teams not signed yet... and is was clear, Nylander sitting out, hurt his play, and the team. What happens on the ice, is all that matters now. Maybe the team is successful, maybe they suck. All the arguing in here, all the opinions, BS generalizations, won't mean a thing. Who gets paid how much, just doesn't matter now... History will be the judge, let's see how the season goes.

I'm saying you couldn't overpay everyone on your team because there is a cap. You CAN overpay some. As a manager, if you are going to "overpay" some, better it be your stars. They are more likely to live up to it and more likely to afford a return if you ever move on. If you can field a quality team by churning out quality depth, I could care less how they allocate things.

Toronto is at 95 million in cap space used.
Does the salary cap not apply to the Maple Leafs. wtf

No it doesn’t. The Leafs applied for special consideration from the league and got it.

It’s funny because none of this can possibly matter until next season and I’m sure the leafs will be fine then as well.
Dubas and leafs fans could not give a single f*** if the rfa pay rate has been altered or unaltered; its absolutely of no concern or consequence to us.
Ciao!

The salary cap is 81.5 million for all NHL teams yet the Maple Leafs are currently at $95 million used.
The Jets give up half their defense to sign Laine and Conner and have to sweat it out.
Wtf is this garbage.

Sounds like a lot of people after they signed Tavares.
"Stupid Leaf fans. No marquee player signs there."
"Everyone knew he was signing there."
I don’t know. Bettman must like the Leafs to allow them to go over the cap like that.

The preferential treatment that Toronto is getting in regards to being that much over over the salary cap is preposterous.

$94.865 mil
less LTIR -> $10.55 mil
= $83.30 mil
Start with Roster size of 20 players.. So take off say Petan, Shore, Agostino so less $2.2625
= $81.03 million.
Math isn't hard.
