If they sign kap, but then mariner gets an offer sheet that would put the Leafs just over the cap, they can’t actually sign it without ditching salary and every team would know the deadline they’re under so they’d have no leverage.
This way if market gets an offer sheet you can match it and sort out the salary/kap contract later without the hard deadline.
No, it doesn't. You can exceed the cap.Ya, makes sense.
