Bluecharm Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Leafs by my quick calculation have about 12 mil left, with Marner to be signed. That’s with Nathan Horton’s ltir added back and including Ceci at 4.5. Gotta think they’re done now. Also think Marner may be extended sooner than later.

I think its 11.6m with ceci kerfoot marner to be signed . Aftwr comes horton ltir bonus. But i think it only applies after the season start not before. I think they have to move another 5m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Horton’s contract can be moved to ltir concurrent with start of season. So that is +5.7. There are also surplus players on the roster on capfriendly which can be demoted like Gauthier, Agostino, Gravel. Low cost ones I know. They will have to negotiate a low cost contract for Kerfoot probably. I could be wrong but I seem to recall them doing this exercise last year. if someone[ knows for sure please advise.

Only thing I saw was CapFriendly tweet that the Leafs have $11.6M in cap space with Marner, Ceci, and Kerfoot to sign (what Vegeta posted). Also saw where Kerfoot is likely to get $3M or a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecharm Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 But there are surplus players there and the 5.3 of Horton not added back. Which it can be later on if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good summer habs fan Has still have around 8 mil to do something if anything, not like this prevented them to acquire anyone. Bergy wasn't going to go after a top tear player and potentially overpay, so he goes a route that no one has done in awhile ( maybe this shows the league something about how the offer sheet isn't working and should be fixed to make it usable). why not give it a go, seems there has to be some sort of background info that we arent privy to and he they believe it can cause them issues/something to think about. Regardless i think the Canes match, but it would be awesome if Aho went to habs go habs go !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing games. For some reason, probably mainly term, the Canes couldn’t get a deal done with Aho. Hope they can put this behind them and get back to business after the inevitable matching of this contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there will be any hard feelings but at the same time who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb738 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 I agree though that none of this stuff being said has actually come from Aho and is coming from Montreal and his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb738 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 The way I take it is some people believe that the offer sheet had no chance of not being matched and basically it wasn't strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
