Sujet: Maxing LTIR to start season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>dermott was also reportedly missing the first 12-14 games as well</div></div>

I know. The point of this roster was to maximize LTIR usage - I also don't think Bracco makes the team. Need to be as close to the cap as possible after putting guys on LTIR so they have greater flexibility moving forward. This would put them $4,801 under the cap, meaning they could have rosters valued at $81,495,199 throughout the season. If their initial roster had Dermott on LTIR and Bracco in the minors and cheaper guys in the lineup, for example the Goat and Aberg, then they wouldn't only be able to have rosters valued at $81,164,366 throughout the season. That difference of $330,833 may not be much, but if could make an impact.

Teams do 'paper' transactions for cap purposes all the time. The risk for the Leafs will be that they may have to expose certain plays to waivers.

Then they could put Dermott on LTIR and send down Bracco if he doesn't make the team, and then recall two players who made it through waivers to fill out a 23 man roster.
