Training Camp Thread - Currently with Marner now

[Guilt Trip]

Bob McKenzie was just on Overdrive and outlined some more cap shenanigans that the Leafs could pull this year in calling up guys and not having them count on the cap. I didn't really follow cause I'm sick as a dog today but I'm sure the audio will be up soon

I'm sure the Leafs have it all figured out and have a plan in place.

I didn't listen, but I'm assuming he was referring to the idea explained in this article: https://scoutingtherefs.com/2015/03/8012/not-enough-men-on-the-bench-pens-start-shorthanded/

For the TLDR crowd, it basically explains that there's a provision in the CBA that if the Leafs end up playing a game with less than 18 skaters + 2 goalies because of injuries and a lack of cap space, they'll be able to recall a player from the Marlies who makes up to $100k more than the league minimum salary and that player wouldn't count against the cap for as long as that player is required to get them to 18 skaters. They would need to play 1 game with less than 18 skaters though first.

Basically this would cover us for any injuries that require someone to miss more than 1 games but not enough that they would be placed on LTIR.
