Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

The Leafs just announced to the league that they are willing to take on money at the TDL with the recent moves to LTIR. That being said they still have to be careful as they are technically going over the cap and they do need to take bonuses into consideration as Matthews is going to hit all of his and Marner and Nylander are going to hit some of theirs. Toronto will hit about 3.5M in bonuses so they need to be conservative when they get to about 6M.

1) This trade is about Washington dumping cap and Bowey is the cost of that. Orpik is better than Hunwick and Bowey is seen as better than Valiev, and shoots Right so is a need in the system. This allows Washington to make a move to bring in more talent for a cup run, or even a conference finals, an accomplishment in the OV era.

2) This is a classic Hockey trade, it fills needs for both teams. Toronto is very deep on offence and JVR is the most tradeable Veteran on the team. Carolina, along with Anaheim, have the deepest Defensive prospect pools in the League and could move one for Offensive help. (Before Palhal says they do not need LW, they can move Skinner to RW and JVR, Rask, Skinner on the top line is killer).

3) This is a cap dump as much as it is Chicago filling a hole. Toronto is looking to get something for an expiring contract and Kruger plays on the PK and fills the 4C hole in the lineup.

4) This is a cap dump that doesn't affect either team much. Teams are swapping 7th defencemen. The 3rd round pick is to make up for the salary gap.
