Dubas was at the Calgary/NYR game

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't the Leafs stay on the hook for his cap if he retires, even if he retires on another team. Something about 25+ contracts and it always falling on the team who signed him?

35+ you mean.

There is something about recapture amounts, and I don't know the formula, but I believe that impacts teams with players who had cap circumvention scenario's like Shea Weber.

When we pay the signing bonus for Marleau he should be tradeable.

NMC. Only way out is if he gets 'injured' or gets traded to a team with his consent, bought out and then re-signs with the Leafs.

If we don't win the Cup this year, I can't imagine Marleau wanting to waive that NMC to go anywhere but back to SJ and they will likely have their own cap problems.

Paying the Bonus doesn't remove the NMC.

I hope he will waive but I doubt it since his family seems happy here. Awful contract that we all knew would be a problem in the final year. Hopefully Dubas can do something about it.

Nylander for sanheim and simmonds potentially??

Interesting that you mentioned this. A few hours ago, Eklund (I know) said that his sources tell him that Dubas was scouting Sanheim. Also, Kapanen, not Nylander, would be involved in the trade. LOL

I think we just need to accept the fact that he will be here next season.
If somehow he isn't, take it as a pleasant surprise.
