Don't think the Ducks would be interested in taking on all that cap hit....7.6m. Leafs get 7.6m in cap relief...yes they have to fill two positions and first rounder. Seems like big overpay by the Ducks since Kesler has no affect on any teams cap.

The cap hit of players on LTIR is not included in the teams cap hit value. This is a simplification for Armchair-GM that is not technically correct. For more information see the LTIR FAQ

Kesler is of no advantage to the Maple Leafs and moving him is of no value to the Ducks; we certainly don't need Brown with Silfverberg, Kase, Sprong, Terry and Sherwood at RW (plus the moribund Perry), so this trade is a non-starter. Zaitsev for a third I could see, as Anaheim's entire right-side defense is Josh Manson, UFA Korbinian Holzer and AHLers.

I see you c/p this all over the place. Just wondering why. For all intents and purposes it lets you determine whether the cap hit relief would allow you to fill the roster with current contracts.

You seem to post it as if there is an issue.

We've had this "monster" created recently. Kesler to the Leafs. .
