Leafs Cap Situation

Let’s take a quick glance at CapFriendly, our go-to source for understanding any team’s cap situation.

The Leafs projected cap hit for the 2017-18 season is $76,679,167 and right now they’re projected cap space is -$1,679,167.

You’re probably thinking that’s bad.

Well, kind of, but it really doesn’t matter, so let me explain and some credit has to go to Steve Dangle for his enthusiastic video about the Marleau signing regarding the cap.

A reminder that teams can be over a certain percentage of cap space, too.
