Shitty deal for everyone. I remember when Cann first started playing for us... felt like striking oil having found a good defender with a modest salary.
Awful news. Too bad MLS doesn't provide some cap relief in these situations.
Completely agree.
And it's too bad that Cann's career is very likely finished.
There are a few of them in here.
Sorry for Cann. I'm sure he's disappointed. Really amazes me that MLS rules still stick us with his salary against the cap though.
I just hope that Cann's new deal is guaranteed for next year... If not he's rehabbing while on EI....
Toronto 'til I die although still a Leeds fan at heart...
As someone who rehabbed on EI in 2009, I hope so too
Wow, you're serious, no cap relief?
But roster spot relief, right??? !!!
There is cap relief guys!!!
He goes on Season-Ending Injury list doesn't he, and then only 1/2 of his Salary counts against he cap. I'm almost certain that's how MLS cap rules work. How is our other Chronic Knee injury?
Good thing the window opens tomorrow boys, lets hope some of our rumours are true. Paul Stalteri has never looked so good. lol
Add me to your ignore list too, because I agree with Stryker -- you're consistently looking down your nose at people around here and it makes you sound cuntish. Not calling you a cunt, just your behaviour. Kind of like i'd not call you an idiot, but I'd call your ideas stupid.
On topic: it's a tough loss, but the way he's been playing of late, it's more a depth loss rather than of any serious talent. I think he's out of form and hasn't contributed as well as he is capable. That said, now we have cap space tied up in two players injured for the balance of the season. Fucking bad luck, that.
Afraid not man. I also thought the half season salary rule applied here but was wrong.
Section II(k)
http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules
SEASON-ENDING INJURY REPLACEMENTS
A team with a player lost to a season-ending injury can replace that player on its roster, while remaining responsible for the full amount of the injured player’s salary. A player can be placed on the season-ending injury list once another player has been signed as a replacement (provided the team has budget space). International player limits still apply at the time a season-ending replacement is made (with the player being replaced not counting against those limits).
An insurance policy will cover the remaining value on his contract for this season, but if I remember correctly the 3rd and 4th years of his deal were team options.
^^^ thanks for the actual rule Stryker...i would have bet had i not seen it in writing by 'responsible for the full amount of the injured players salary' do they mean CAP responsible or just responsible to not 'fire'/cut an injured player?
I'm shocked by that cap rule - I thought we would get half season relief too.
I guess the league must have had a problem, or must be worried it could have a problem, with guys and teams in cahoots to fake injuries and do buyouts while still getting cap relief.
End result, we are screwed by it.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
You're welcome. I imagine it means the team is cap responsible but you're right the wording isn't very precise. That's MLS for you.
The condition that a replacement player can be signed "provided the team has budget space" leads me to believe that the injured player's salary still counts against the cap.
Very unfortunate news for TFC, and even worse news for Cann. It will be difficult for him to fully recover from such a devastating injury at this stage of his career.
Now that Williams will be departing for the Gold Cup, the backline is officially in crisis mode. I hope Nana is ready to step up.
This is the worst... as if our defence wasn't bad enough already.
Does any one know where we are with respect to the cap? We must have tones of cap space with Dero gone?
^ I don't know the exact number off hand, but we have a decent amount of cap space (like $200k-$300k?).
I just did the math and came up with a number in the 360,000's.
That does not include allocation and its unknown if we're paying any of Barrett or DeRo's salary.
--------------------------------------------
Stevanovic - 250,000
JDG - 345,000
Peterson - 150,000
Current unused - 360,000
Total free cap a smart manager could head into the offseason with = 1.05 million + allocation.

I think it would have to mean cap responsible, since the league actually pays the players, not the team, no?
3-5-2.
Total Football.
again this is where my mind was in terms of space. I can't believe peterson makes what he makes.....that's a negotiation embarrassment. As soon as we release him we can sign a difference maker. Thereby we could have 500,000 in cap space with him gone, that's be wonderful.
In both deals it was reported that we're paying some part of each of their salaries. The NY Post reported that TFC are paying "a significant amount" of DeRo's salary and after the Barrett trade Ives reported that TFC agreed to pay "a portion" of Barrett's salary.
That seems possible. Stryker came up with a rough number of $360k. Minus what we're paying for DeRo and Barrett but add whatever allocation we have and $600k doesn't sound unreasonable.
