2017-18 Season Cap Adjustment

There are two Leafs players that are on long-term injured reserve (LTIR), Nathan Horton and Joffrey Lupul.

Horton’s cap hit of $5.3 million and Lupul’s cap hit of $5.25 million counts against the cap in the summer, the offseason, but not in the regular season or playoffs.

That’s $10.55 million added to the Leafs cap space when the season begins, so things are a little better.

We’re now looking at $66,129,167 for the 2017-18 season locked up, without Marleau’s cap added.

Don’t worry, I’ll add it below.
