Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I KNOW there are some bananas takes here. I am curious what y'all think. Is a Tavares-Ullmark deal possible and if so, what does it take if not this? What about the Lundell deal, I know Florida values him but Marchands grit and cheap cap $ make him a killer Panther and with Florida's cap constraints, it may be wortwhile. Maybe. Let me know what to fit, scrap, or even add if there is a player who you think should be included or replaced here!

Trades

BOS

Lundell, Anton [RFA Rights]

FLA

Marchand, Brad ($1,850,000 retained)

BOS

2025 2nd round pick (DET)

Additional Details:

In need of a defensive fwd, coyle fits the mark at a low acquisition cost and killer season

DET

Coyle, Charlie

BOS

Robertson, Nicholas [RFA Rights]
Tavares, John ($5,500,000 retained)
2026 1st round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

Leafs actually retain only $2.75m, rest done through a 3rd party trade. Big ? if his NMC kicks in and he nixes it but it would give him a fresh chance at a cup and a chance to be a role player rather than being stuck on a losing team as a cap dump. 1st rounder and Robertson both pays for taking on JT who has widely been seen as a player you pay to take on, not pay to acquire, and for Ullmark, who can immediately step in with Woll as a tandem.

TOR

Ullmark, Linus
2025 3rd round pick (BOS)

Buyouts

Mike Reilly: $1,333,334

Retained Salary Transactions

Brad Marchand: $1,850,000 (30.2%)

No chance JT waived, or Leafs trade him in division. Can’t see the bruins trading Ullmark in division either

Even though it would never happen, I lowkey love that BOS-TOR trade. Call me crazy but I'd be happy to throw in a 2nd and a sweetener for Coyle to make the trade as following:

TOR revieves Ullmark, Coyle, 2025 3rd

BOS receives Tavares (5.5M retained), Robertson, 2026 1st, 2026 2nd, 2024 5th (assuming we recoup draft picks by shipping off a Liljegren-esque player or in Marner trade)
