The Toronto Maple Leafs will start training camp soon, but in the meantime, it can’t hurt to check in on the team’s salary cap status.
In the NHL, you are allowed to go over the salary cap by 10% in the summer, which is why the Toronto Maple Leafs currently find themselves $1, 496, 116 dollars over the salary cap.
The Leafs are not only over the cap, but they also have not signed Rasmus Sandin yet.
The restricted free-agent has no contract, and no obvious spot in the lineup (though at the moment that is because the team is keeping worse players).
