Sujet: Deal with CBJ and D signings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>there is not one reason for CBJ to do this. Not one.</div></div>

Too often do people only think player for player face value. So many of these teams are bleeding money right now and will continue to in years to come. They need to shed salary, without losing cap. This is a major advantage for the Leafs.

This CBJ trade actually makes a lot of sense for both teams. Maybe the Leafs need to throw in a prospect sweetener for the deal (or more likely take on the LTIR contract of Dubinsky), but the Jackets shed a lot of salary, get two players under contract for multiple seasons, as well as Andersen who is under contract from one less year than Korp, but as much less real salary.

Key note: to those who say Dubinsky's contract is covered by insurance. The team still needs to pay 25% of the salary in cash, and premiums go up when exercised. These are all real costs other teams need to take into account that the Leafs can take advantage of.

Sujet: Dubas can fix this mess if he puts aside his ego
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>Ottawa isn't paying Gaborik's salary, insurance is. All they get is the cap, which they need to reach the cap floor. It's free cap. If they trade it, they need to acquire more cap, and if it isn't insured, they need to pay salary for that newly acquired cap. This cap is free.

Johnsson's contract has high signing bonuses, and those need to be paid in balloon payments, which is fine for a money rich team like Toronto with great media revenue and a huge fan base buying merchandise, but Ottawa doesn't have the media cash, or revenue and those signing bonuses need to be paid out of pocket by the owner each spring. People will say, it's just X amount of money, but it's millions of dollars, millions. It's easier to pay the salaries in smaller portion throughout the season, while generating ticket revenue. Also, there's no room for Johnsson, He's going to be 26 before the season starts, and doesn't fit into the team's long term plan.</div></div>
26 years old and the season before his injury he put up 42 points
Next 3 years payable salary including bonus. (Cap hit 3.4)
3.6
2.5
2.5
On a rebuilding team how would that not fit?
