Question regarding cap/bonus payout

Lets use Tavares as an example

His cap hit is 11 mil but he gets roughly 15 mil in a signing bonus in the summer

He accepts a trade but teams agree Leafs absorb 3 mil to make it happen

How does this affect the bonus payout ?

Can the Leafs say , " we are eating 3 mil but your paying 8 mil in bonus " ?
 
From EW AMA on how to use thier model:

If I'm an NHL Coach or GM, how do I use your results to make my team better this year? Do I try to trade Patrick Kane for Nick Bonino? Do I drop Ovechkin to the 4th line? Do I give Lucic more minutes than Gaudreau? Basically, if you were hired by an NHL team, what recommendations would you be giving based on your model, assuming you'd get fired if your team is unsuccessful?

...

There is a bit of nuance here, but I would say it's very hard with the current data we have to turn that into actionable information from a player level. That's not to say it's impossible, it's just very hard. However, given the amount of data we do have, I think we can pretty clearly identify which players are good and which are bad, we just don't have a good basis in the data for why that may be all the time. Ovechkin, Bonino, Kane... these are all questions that require different approaches, but I think you know that it's insane to say Ovechkin shouldn't be given every chance he can to score or that Lucic should be playing more than Gaudreau. We can evaluate players within a given season while also keeping in mind that in-season performance isn't always indicative of true-talent.

That's a whole lot of tap dancing to explain a pretty broken model rather than just spending the time to re work it into a functioning model.

Which they could, hilariously enough, do pretty easily just by working even a semi functioning QoC/Qot into it.
 
Why is Dillon suddenly considered a trade target? Unless they plan on shifting Dermott to the right side

But I would still much rather use the assets elsewhere

Because any dman another team wants to ditch has to be an upgrade for the leafs.

Dillion is also 6'4", 225 lbs all day and truculent.

And the Leafs' lack of size and truculence on the back-end is, of course, obviously the main problem with this team right now.

He's being proclaimed a trade target by the same people that think Andersen is an elite goalie and the Leafs MVP, and that what the Leafs need is tough less talented players.
 
It's honestly amazing how much rope the goalie gets in this market.

I flipped on "Overdrive" at 5pm after leaving work, and the Overdrive crew & Ray Ferraro quickly launched into a discussion about how Keefe's "offensive system" just obviously doesn't work, and the team needs to figure out how to play better defensively.

Made it a couple of minutes before I had to shut it off. Nary a mention of Freddie's disastrous performance for the past month.

This city gets way too caught up in winning/losing streaks. The Leafs are 16-7-3 with top 5 underlying numbers under Keefe.

This might be the comment that gets quoted multiple times when the Leafs win the Cup this year.

This is how Vegas does it btw. Makes a team look brutal, gets all their pals to pile up, and then they win.

So are we going to make the playoffs. Yes,

But wait, we look like shit, but what is happening? Insiders are piling in, as Fred looks dead.

Biggest call of my life.. I see more of this dead Fred shit? I am putting more a bet on the Leafs to win the Cup.

All a game, all a stage..

The worse they look the more I go long.

If the Leafs lose two more games, go big on Leafs to win the cup.

All a setup. All a game, Its all a fiction.

I am already chuckling. Come on Connor McGregor beats a champ with shoulder blows in 40 seconds?

They both fellate each other in the post game?

Fiction, there is no fact...

Till you possibly take a bullet.

Don't worry about the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nothing to worry about, if they make the playoffs, they win the Cup, its all fixed and arranged.

But hey, they look like shit right now don't they? Absolute crap? hahaha. Part of the arrangement.
