I got so bored of doing the same thing on capfriendly everyday that now I don't really post anymore. I can only imagine what its like for Leaf fans

1 post a day is good luck

It's still fun to comment on posts that show Marner making more than Matthew and Tavares.

Gards won't take that, and where is the cap space when hyman/dermott return?

Literally no room as soon as Hyman and Dermott come off LTIR. The Gardiner dream is fading unless they are able to shed some cap which I wouldn't put past Dubas.

As suggested there isn't cap room for when Hyman (who is skating) and Dermot. Let's get off this Gardiner dream (nightmare). He and his cap aren't needed.

Dermott is negligible (harpur gets buried).

You're accumulated 115K/day with both on IR. I could see Pridham running a 21 roster size at home and accumulating more cap/day

Hyman minus Aberg/Petan is an additional 1.5mil on cap.
There should be ample time to make a move before before the accumulated cap reaches the limit.
In that time they could look to trade Ceci with his value being inflated by playing with Reilly. Not to mention an injury could occur for LTIR relief

It's a bit of a long shot but if anyone would consider doing it, it would be Dubas.

Also an alternative would be a 1 year deal for Gards with a handshake extension in January (1x2mil, extended at 3x4mil)
