Happy Sunday, Leafs fans.
Today is a special October holiday in Toronto: the goalie is on LTIR day. As we learned yesterday, Matt Murray did something to some muscle in morning skate and is out for a month. That means LTIR, and that means the cap crunch can has been kicked down the road for another few weeks. Does this feel just like last year?
Will Erik Källgren already recalled, the LTIR pool has $3.9375 million in it per Cap Friendly on a roster of 20 players. The limit is still 23, but there’s more than enough room there to recall three right now.
