And Horton's contract will hurt the Leafs at the start of the season as his cap hit is applied against the salary cap until he can be put on LTIR (same as Pronger). They can't just go out and sign another player because of the cap implications, which is why Philly and Boston have so much cap trouble at the start of each season.
