I don't believe it helps at all. Maybe Carlton the Bear singing and dancing to the Leafs Hall and Oates goal song each time Craig Simpson puts someone to sleep with his mind numbing boring commentary will help?

A team like Detroit buffalo or Ottawa that needs to reach cap floor.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t help us at all.

I believe it disallows is from accruing cap space. Because that’s how it works with someone on LTIR.

So, really, it’s more negative than it would be positive.

A team like Arizona could trade for Weber than pay him $3M next year and use his $7.8M cap hit to reach the cap floor.
That way the owner could use the $4.8M is savings to pay their bills so they don't get evicted next year.
It gets even better after that, the next 2 year Weber will make only $1M (yes 1 million) and his cap will still be $7.8M.
So the owner can use Weber's cap hit to reach the cap floor and put $6.7M towards their bills or he could put it in his pocket.

So no Weber would not help Toronto.
The question is how much would the owners of Arizona give up to be able to put $17.4 million dollars in their pockets over the span of 3 years?
