I encourage folks to read this and learn more about
the "LTIR" so called cap advantages
http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2014/7/3/5865615/flyers-salary-cap-pronger-ltir
this is the main reason why I keep suggesting a Lupul buy out
and not this new robidas meme
adding a 3rd guy like that to LTIR does nothing to help any cap issues next year.
as best as I understand the rules.

It's pretty easy if they want to make changes.
Lupul = 3.75m buyout FOR 1.5, 3, 1.5, 1.5
Cowen = 3.75 FOR 750k in 2017
Michalek = 2.66m FOR 1.3, 1.3
Total = 10.1m Savings
That's what I would do if they want Stamkos. No Brainer.
They can afford Stammer without buying anyone out Michalek or Lupul. It's not either or. Better not to have Lupul's 1.5 on the books when Nylander and Marner are looking for raises.
you make it sound like Robidas is not a legit LTIR
you can't "just" LTIR someone.
it's a fun and cute little meme that has been running around
but it's not a real thing.

I'm pretty sure Robidas isn't a legit LTIR. He seemed fine in training camp. Then after he was clearly outplayed and lost his spot on the roster, he disappeared.
well your going to have to explain that
because the numbers just don't add up
or will you just be another one "of those" that throw out statements with no back up.?

Well waive
I keep picking Lupul for lots of reason that do add up
I don't think they want him anywhere near these kids or AHL
Unlike some I'm not getting caught up in this new robidas meme , there is no such thing as "just robidas em" and the LTIR loses all effectiveness when there is too much on it
and I really doubt tin man interests anyone in the league, even at 50% retained.
3.75m(lupul) is Lous biggest bang for the buck along with Cowen.
and if folks don't think Lou is not trying to open up cap space for this summer, well look no farther then how anxious they are to buy out cowen.
Lou is going big game hunting this summer, there should be absolutely no doubt about that.
Well 8
here is my take on the trade premise
is it impossible? nope not with Lou and co here
do I think they want this cap space for july 1, yup
do I think Lou has been trying to trade Lupul away for a year now with no luck, yup
Lou only has 14 locations to trade Lupul to as per the limited NTC
do I think part of the reason they are making sure Lupul is no longer playing and getting this hernia worked on, is to
A) get him away from this team and
B) a buy out can't get scuttled by a self proclaimed LTIR issue on Lupuls behalf. And he will lose close to 3 million in real dollars.
This really really feels like a Kessel thing ,to me at least
they want this guy gone, like yesterday.

I agree and said the same a little back as well. Why carry and pay Lupul an extra 3m? He doesn't offer anything. Same with Cowen. Heck you could argue Michalek and Laich should be bought out as well if you think they won't return anything for you come TDL.
Combined they have a cap hit of 17+m and buying the lot out saves 1/3 of the salary owed + around 13-14m cap space?
If you can get good players why not do that?

I could easily see the Leafs and Yotes hooking up for a trade.
Something like Lupul, Michalek, Bernier, Percy, forward prospect for Mike Smith
Yotes pair up the Michaleks and add some depth with Lupul, and if he is injured all the time, all the better because the insurance pays him instead of them and he still counts against the cap. Bernier gets to become their next reclamation project and Percy + Forward Prospect adds to the rebuild. All that and they get out from the next three years of Smith.
Leafs essentially trade 4 contracts for 1 which is huge, and Smith could be decent in front of a solid two-way team (potentially).
