Looking Ahead

I thought I'd provide a quick update on contract status and cap hits for the Leafs roster as I'm sure we'll all be playing armchair GM for the next few days.

The Leafs have a number of UFAs that they need to walk run away from and a surprising number of RFAs that should make for some interesting negotiations. They have $26.2 million committed to 13 NHL players. Assuming the cap is $48 million next year, they have about $20 million to spend on 10 players leaving $2 million as a contingency. Also, they have 8 players signed until 2009 or longer tying up $23.4 million in cap space. So JFJ or his replacement is stuck with the current core.
