How much should the Leafs be luxury taxed?
If the Leafs have a $51 million payroll and are projected to get a $19 million dollar luxury tax, then they would be paying $70 million for a $51 million product.
Yes most of this board are Leafs fans, but we don't enjoy paying ever increasing ticket prices for ever increasing salaries. Putting our Toronto Leafs fans bias aside, how much should the luxury tax be?
At what hard dollar value?
At what penalty?
Say $50 million hard cap, with a 100% penalty?
Exemptions, such as, you are allowed to go over the cap to sign players you've drafted or players that you "developed" as a "youngster" or "low point player"?

Zero.

How much should the Leafs be sin taxed?
$19 million is not enough.

Exemptions for the cap? Any player over 35 years of age. Leafs will have a great advantage over most other teams. Can even, for a change, be able to make great trades with the assets they have.

I know, I know - it is that time of the year that we Leafs fans do not think rationally.

If the Leaf had a team salary base of $51 million....and the salary cap was $40 million...I believe what the NHL is looking at is a 100% luxury tax on the amount over the cap....Int his case it would equal $11 million. So the Leafs would have a salary plus luxury tax cost of $62 million.

No exemptions allowed!

The CBA hasn't been agreed to yet, so it's all utter speculation at this point.

Players offered a 5% salary rollback.

The players earlier offered a 5% salary rollback.

Now that number will be revised, because there is the new additional idea of a shortened season of about 72 games.

How can anyone score 50 goals in a 72 games season, if it was hard to score 41 goals this year?

All this mumbo jumbo talk about salary rollback, number of games rollback isn't as important as banning the neutral zone trap and weakside lock.

If basketball can ban the illegal defense (zone defense) then how come hockey and its 2 referees can not do the same?

I think salaries are way out of control, tv conracts paid are too high, and owners need to run the business as a business and not count on government to grants to build these massive arenas.
The arenas have already been built but prob still prevail.
I guess the most wrong done is paying Domi millions to play this game.....that should of been the first waring sign things have gone wrong in the NHL
Problems existed waaaaaaaaay before his signing.

In the 50's and 60's the season was even shorter with many 50 goal scorers.

Biggest problem in style of play is the size of the playing field. 12 years ago the NHL had a chance to change that with all the new arenas being built. But they lacked, and still do, the vision to move the game forward.

I see Goober's been enlightened and made a breakthrough.

Didn't the NBA add zone defenses this year or do I have this backwards?

Yeah, they did.
Kinda makes that comment rather useless.
