I think we all knew deep down that when the Leafs tried to do the same thing several other teams have been doing for years the league would finally start to care

Bettman huffs farts he can take his green goblin looking ass straight to the retirement home

Fuck this piss stain.

Of course when the Leafs use loopholes the scrutiny happens

Someone gonna have a look at Vegas?
The Leafs may have Robidas Island, but the Knights have built a Robidas Casino & Resort.

He’ll be 40 when the contract ends, not 85. The Leafs literally had a 40 year old on their roster last year.
ohnowwhat
Seriously, that is an issue? How about we look at the likes of Kucherov or even better yet Mark Stone who gets injured at some point in the season and comes back to life Undertaker-like right for playoffs to start. If that is not detrimental to the league, I don’t know what is…

So they want to keep all injured players salaries on the cap? No more LTIR relief at all…? What happens if a franchise star like Mackinnon has a career ending injury? The Avs are $14 million short for 8 years and just forced to suck?
ACalz
Fuck off. Look at Vegas.
DooOboes
So the NHL will have to prove that a veteran, injury-ravaged player isn’t injured enough for LTIR… that’s going to be hilarious.
Nowhere in the link posted, or in the sources the link cites, does it say Bettman is scrutinizing this contract.

This is just all headlines. It’s a legal contract. The short fuck can’t do shit

This from a league that institutes a Salary Cap that is supposed to create an « even playing field » for all teams, but doesn’t bother to account for taxation across states and countries.

Someone please explain the Shea Webber contract to me then.
One set of rules for the Leafs, one set of rules for everyone else.

So basically if you want a loophole closed in the NHL, get the Leafs to take advantage of it.
Ambitious_Cake2447
remember when dubas allowed leaf players to use the facilities in the off-season, then gary decided that wasn’t allowed because other teams complained that the leafs were using their facilities in the off-season.
glad gary still has our franchise under a microscope 🙄

And yet Vegas keeps giving Mark Stone some miracle elixir to be ready to go by playoffs every year. Sure, Gary.
trevlarrr
So this is just an opinion piece saying the league might look at closing the LTIR loophole and if they do then Tanev’s contract is one that might be affected… so Bettman isn’t looking in to shit with the Leafs then! Go away with this rage-bait crap!
justxforxthis
Can’t wait for a league that can’t even solve basic problems to start undertaking some form of bizarre actuarial analysis to assess the feasibility of a given player staying healthy for the majority of their contract.

We’re not even “The Real NHL” so why does it matter?

It’s obviously a risky signing and the point is to LTIR him or whatever. But how do they plan on scrutinising this objectively? Let’s say the rumoured 8 year, 3 mil AAV deal between Stamkos and Tampa had gone through, would they be on that?
Yes, teams do this. If they start on it now, please keep it consistent at least.
And I’m a Bruins fan, I don’t generally rush in to defend the Leafs.

Doesn’t say anything about what Bettman actually said. Sounds like a fluff article.
Everyone in the league does it, they just need to change salary cap for the playoffs. Make it count and no more Stone/Kucherov moves
