Yeah, this idea that the Leafs are in so much trouble with the cap is a bit of a myth. They have a lot of money tied up in a handful of players, but the Nolan buyout helps that quite a bit. They have a few kids who will be in the lineup this year making less than a million, and unlike teams like Detroit or Colorado they have no RFA's who will need multi-million qualifying offers. If they cut Belfour they'd actually be in really good shape financially (although without a goalie, so...)
