Also, you don't need to go through all that work anyway if you're already on CapFriendly. Just scroll down to the Roster and Cap Hit Statistics sections. It shows that the Leafs currently have 16 roster players signed for next season, with a combined projected cap hit just over $69 million. Which gives about $18.5 million in cap space on a projected $87.7 million cap.

Thanks. Didn’t realize they have that info at the finger tips.
Anyway, I truly don’t think the Leafs are in a bad position as some make them out to be on here. There’s a level of uncertainty for sure but they have a couple minor leaguers who may be brought up next year as well (Minten and Cowan). It’s really a question of getting the right mix of skill and grit without having to force grit through unskilled signings like Reeves. Again, I’m not a Leafs fan, but do recognize you have to get the mix right. It’s now apparent and the possibilities have been exhausted they have the skill up front. They’re just too one dimensional which works for the regular season and not for the playoffs. Time to tradeoff some skill for some more sandpaper and they’ll be fine. I do worry about Treliving trying to outsmart everyone with a dumb signing. That would f them up badly.
