Toronto Maple Leafs: Understanding the Cap Situation

Patrick Marleau

Geez, Andrew, haven’t we talked Marleau to death by now?

No, friend, not yet, not never.

Buddy over here just signed a pretty large deal at $6.25 million for the next three years as we all know, now the highest paid player on the team.

So we’re going to add that number to the projected cap space after factoring in the subtraction of the $10.55 million LTIR relief that will kick in at the beginning of the 2017-18 season.

The equates to $72,379,167, which is $4.3 million under the team’s projected cap hit for the upcoming season.

I told you I’d add his cap hit.
