Cap is irrelevant in the playoffs, so I guess Toronto is doing this risk free. Columbus got a pick for a player who may never play for them again. Fair, I guess

Sure it is irrelevant in the playoffs, but this gives them flexibility for TDL.
He should be ready for the playoffs and it's clear Toronto doesn't need him now
true but would rather have a guy we can throw in now or in a week rather than wait and see for playoffs. That way we can see if theres chemistry and adjust our lines accordingly.
Nash dont get me wrong looked really good but man it just seems like one of those huh trades

You got him for a 7th next year. If he was healthy, you would be paying a 3rd+. It also gives Toronto more LTIR room.
So the leafs get a decent defensive 4c and expand their usable cap space for a conditional 7th.
God damn Pridham is a genius.
Likewise of Jarmo. To get pocket lint out of a season ending injury is impressive. You never see deals like this. Both these GMs look very smart for making this deal.

true, now Dubas has the space to make another move and solidify the team, should have paid a 6th and god Dubinsky to than we could have added more oh well
But Dubas has shown hes ready and it cost him nothing

Monday will be interesting
That isn't quite how it works lol. You don't get to write off their full salary. Getting dubinsky wouldn't have increases our cap any more than Nash, and Nash can play in the playoffs
Can you explain to me how adding an LTIR contract ADDS cap space?
Because they are up against the cap. Take their LTIR hit, minus their current cap space(something like 300k-ish?) and you get the LTIR relief pool they can work with. Nash + Andersen = 7,75-300k=7,45m they can use AS LONG as they have those two on LTIR, or until the playoffs start, when the cap becomes irrelevant.
E: Why this rule exists is probably so that cap teams which get hit by massive injury or injuries to their players and can still replace them.

Gosh LTIR is so confusing. But I think I understand a bit of why it adds space.

I always thought their cap hit just didn't count against the cap, in other words no cap hit or cap benefit, but LTIR seems to be far more complicated than that.

Yeah, it's the reason they traded for Horton and Clarkson too. It allowed them to go over the cap for the duration of those contracts.
