So this is happening

[hockeyknowitall]

So I have been wondering about this for a fairly long time: Joffrey Lupul is still signed with the Leafs, yet he doesn't play. Even though there are multiple sources saying he is healthy and really WANTS to play. He doesn't play for the Marlies either, which would be the logical choice, if the Leafs didn't think he was good enough for their roster. They also didn't trade him. Could you explain this whole weirdness to me?!

ah yes, leafs fans have dubbed this Robidas Island and it is definitely...shady as hell. 

Basically Joffrey Lupul is good but he is very injury prone, he is also i think the oldest Toronto Maple Leaf currently and one of the higher paid ones as well. So what the leafs say happen is that he got injured, was not able to recover and was placed on LTIR (long term injured reserve) but you’re right because there is a lot out there saying he’s completely healthy, hell jsut follow him on instagram and you’d think that. But the thing is LTIR has a contractual and strategic advantages to it. For instance, when the season starts, every player on LTIR has to still be paid the money on their contract, but that does not go against the cap  at all. So at the start of this season (it happened last season too), Joffrey Lupul’s salary did no count against the cap at all. 

The cap was put in place to make sure every team in the league was even, so teams in small markets would not necessarily be at a disadvantage for teams in big markets. However when it comes to LTIR, the teams in big markets still have an advantage because they have a lot of extra money. A team like Carolina may not be able to afford having 10 million dollars worth of players sitting out for seasons and seasons at a time becase all of their money would need to go towards players wo are playing. However a team like the Toronto Maple Leafs, which is one of the wealthiest teams in the league, can afford to pay players who do not play for them, like Joffrey Lupul. 

Now Lupul also has a one way contract with clauses that say he cannot be sent down to the AHL and his one way contract would mean even if he WAS sent down he’d still be making that money against the cap. But even so a player of Lupul’s caliber would never agree to that. Because it’s not about him not being good enough for the NHL it’s about the fact that they don’t want him, they don’t think they can trade him/get what they want from him, so they’re going to wait for his contract to run out while incurring no penalites from it beacuse they’ve stuck him on LTIR.

This is called robidas island because he’s not the first player they’ve done this too. And it really is kind of shady and doesnt’ reflect well on the organization. But on the other side of the coin it’s kind of genius and it’s the kind of thing Lou Lamoriello is famous for. They call him Loophole Lou because he’s...kind of an asshole but kind of a genius and will fuck you over. 

Hopefully that explains it all.

Lucy was not Joffrey Lupul's type. In fact, he thought she was a judgmental bitch who had nothing in common with him other than a group of friends. Lucy thought Lupul was predictable with poor taste in women since he was unable to keep his dick in his pants. Dating was out of the question because they actively disliked each other. That is, until rocky relationships put them beside each other on bar stools. One thing leads to another, and suddenly they realize first impressions can be deceiving.

I write a thing four years ago and dusted it off for reposting in AO3.
