On Saturday expect FAndersen to be put on LTIR after there game against Ottawa, as that will be the 10 game mark where The Leafs can use that loophole to get 5million extra Cap Space money, at that point I believe The Leafs big Trade goes down, and I believe it's THall, so my predicted Trade Proposal is this.

Buffalo Trades
THall (50% of Contract Retained)

Toronto Trades
Barabanov
Kokkonen (SHL)
1st Round Pick 2021

If the Leafs after that decide to Trade for a Goaltender they will have exactly 1,891.509 Cap Space to use to upgrade in Goal.


Thoughts ?

Why? The leafs score plenty, and Hall doesn't make teams better. He's a career -63, and has TWO goals this year! Buffalo plays better and scores more with Hall out of the lineup.

If a GM trades for Hall they deserve to be fired.

A roster must have 20-22 contracts daily for whole season. If a player is deemed unable to play for a 24 days or 10 games he can be put on LTIR

His cap hit and roster spot is still counted against team and if the team. If the injured player needs a player to replace him and team has less than 700K in cap space to do so then they can find a player of up to the injured players cap value or less to replace him. In Andersen case if Leafs want to put him on LTIR they will first need to call up a goalie so they have enough goalies (min2) for when they put him on LTIR. If they have 22 roster spots taken beforehand they will need to drop 1 roster spot to make the extra goalie spot available. If they have the extra roster spot to call up goalie but lack the available cap space to do so they must drop a player to make cap work. Once this extra goalie is on roster Andersen can now move to LTIR.

Now if leafs want to add 1 roster spot they can add any 1 player they want to accommodate the roster spot lost to LTIR player. The player they choose can not exceed the LTIR cap hit. The amount this replacement players cap hit is worth would use up the remaining of the leafs cap available. Then the extra amount of replacing players cap hit left after cap limit is hit counts against LTIR.

So in general a LTIR players cap hit still counts as cap and roster spot on team. The replacement player can be a player up to value of LTIR player but no more. Then once new player is on team any cap needed to cover cap limit overage is LTIR covered.

Hope that makes sense.

@craigger12 So can Andersson return before seasons end and they are still compliant.

If leafs have enough daily cap accumulated to cover the extra daily cap needed to accommodate Andersen returning to roster per day remaining in season then yes he can come back.

Unfortunately, until we see what happens with Riley Nash tomorrow it is too tough to predict exactly what leafs have in accumulation as everything we see on that cap site right now is a simple value if roster remains unchanged for final 30 days of year. Every roster player plus Kessel retain daily cap value X 30 - teams daily accumulated cap = -330K at moment. Thus not cap compliant. Good news this will only be seen like this until tomorrow 5pm deadline. I’ll have better grasp of this once that time rolls around

Lol.
