What?? Do you know what’s being discussed here?

Cap overages are for the amounts spent over the cap this season, due to performance bonuses etc, which get added to the cap next season.

The leafs are not in a great cap position because they will have ~$7.8 million to sign 4-7 more players (ideally 7 so they can have some security over scratches and injuries etc). They have to sign 3 top-6 D and 4-6 depth forwards to make this happen. This results in the leafs signing half their team to league min deals pretty much, or having to cap dump some guys to sign people for more than that. Essentially it makes it very hard for the Leafs to keep a roster that was as good as it was this past season.

(Note - numbers and roster size are simplified for this explanation. I don't care)

Have you been sleeping since the Leafs were forced to trade Kapanen for a 1st to start restructuring their cap situation?

Not in the slightest. This is what any GM has to do to manage these overages and future cap hits. Garnering a return to help address future cap issues by getting ELC is necessary to maintain their core.

Is 1.7 million all for the Canucks? Huh, thought it was more.

Thanks for compiling the list though. Even if it's twitter I don't like following links for easily read information like you've provided.

The article also mentioned that teams can split the overage over the next 2 seasons if desired (due to the shortened season). Although, I would assume Vancouver bites the bullet next season, as Pettersson and Hughes will need contracts in 2 seasons.

There’s a mainboard topic about the Leafs and their cap situation every week so this has all been hashed out many times

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

But the Canes are super cheap

 

[Mickey Marner]

Phew, thank goodness you guys have already turned this into a Leafs thread. You had me worried for a second.

I'm surprised Dallas lead the way.

That wasn't forced lol

Leafs made that trade because they were taking advantage of a desperate Jim Rutherford who overpaid for Kappy

 

[CupInSIX]

Are they just guessing that overage players like Engelland hit their bonus or?

The Leafs were forced to trade their 2020 1st round pick to get rid of Patrick Marleau and his horrible contract that Kyle Dubas had nothing to do with giving him.

Trading Kapanen was from a position of strength because he was still behind Marner and Nylander in terms of being in their top six, they get the salary cap relief and the 15th overall pick in the 2020 draft which is supposed to be a very good draft class.

Canucks is like 850k each for Hughes and Petterson.

.... You didn't read what the article is actually about, did you? The Leafs are in very bad shape regarding the cap and trying to improve that miserable team.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Leafs salary cap was at 100m but no overages??

Good job Dubas.

 

[Colt55]

They only currently have like 16 people signed. Once they get to 25 they will be screwed.

forced to make a great deal and fleece the pens. Sounds great

 

[HaNotsri]

So happy we invested in Simmonds and Frolik close to the deadline. Botterill...

I agree with your analysis. My usage of “forced” may of been misplaced but I agree they did get good value for Kap. But realistically, that was a necessary step for them to start building this offseason.

It was either that or trade one of the big 3

Yeah, that still seems low. I mean I'll take it, but some posters were setting me up for it being 3.5 each. 1.7 total is....almost swell.
