Marner has a cap hit of $10.903M per season. When the 24-year-old winger is off of LTIR the Leafs are north of $700K over the salary cap. What complicates things is that as the roster is currently constructed, the Leafs will be forced to make a move. One option is depending on the injury status of
Rasmus Sandin. He could be moved to LTIR and the Leafs can procrastinate making a trade, for the time being.
