Thread: Sharks Acquire Marner Sign Pesce Bertuzzi Dillon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>I think one of Musty or Zetterlund has to be part of this package to make it worthwhile for the Leafs. They can opt to hold onto Marner and let him walk next offseason if the return isn't appealing because they still have to be competitive next year.</div></div>
This makes sense but the freed-up cap space could also allow them sign impact one or two impact free agents. Not saying that TOR should therefore trade Marner for peanuts, just suggesting that they could afford to sell slightly less than his worth if it means freeing up his cap hit to sign other impact guys while still acquiring solid pieces as well (i.e. Ferraro, #14 overall, Wiesblatt).

Musty would be a no-go, but in all likelihood yes I can see Zetterlund Ferraro Wiesblatt and a 2014 1st being the ask -- don't think it makes from SJ's perspective though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>I agree with that. Granlund was technically a cap dump. there's some guys I'd definitely be interested in from teams that can't fit them, but Pageau, Mikheyev, and Schmidt aren't those guys.

I think for UFAs, Chatfield, DeMelo, Pesce, Roy, etc would be good targets for D-men (some more likely than others). Domi, Stephenson, Duchene, for forward tragets. We'll see what happens with Celebrini, but having him and Smith signed would really show free agents that it could be a good place to play and then get dealt to contender</div></div>

Yeah exactly, I think Pageau is a decent temporary 3c. Mikheyev sucks but I would probably go after Reilly Smith as someone the Pens can't really fit on their team anymore.

My only thing is I just don't want to overpay UFAs long term, and create a log jam in our forward core, similar to what our Defense is starting to experience a little bit.

Good point though, UFAs should be able to put up some points around Celebrini and Smith, I just don't want to create cap dumps of our own if we sign them to 3+ year deals

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div><div>Agree to disagree, it depends on the cap dump you get. These are more like cap casualties. If these players were making 2-3m they would be completely different stories. They are still good enough to be 3rd liners, they are just significantly overpaid, but because of our cap situation we can afford it.

IF we can get really solid UFAs on 1-3 year deals I am all for it. I just don't know how realistic that actually is</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>I disagree. Cap dumps are cap dumps for a reason. They're not playing well. that's not the type of player Grier should be bringing over.

You can overpay some really solid UFAs on 1-3 year deals and actually help the team play competitive hockey, then deal them for better assets than the one's you'd get for taking on a cap dump.</div></div>

Thread: Draisaitl And Marner Team Up In San Jose In 3 Way Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RecycleShark</b></div><div>Couture to LTIR? Buy out Vlasic? Hmmm I give up</div></div>

The current balance is $37m, w/Couture in LTIR. 29m if he is back in the fold. A Vlasic buyout puts the 2024 total at about 32.2, make it 31.3 after Celebrini's ELC. The Marner, Draisaitl, Campbell deal above leaves 6.8m with 6 roster spots left to fill. Couture on LTIR makes it 14.8 and 7 empties. The total above for the 3D, which is probably a little light, is 13.5. So 1.3m for the remaining 4 roster spots.
I think Carier and Walker are doable, but have to leave Zadorov off and fill 5 spots with league mins. Then hope the cap goes up a **** ton in the next 3 years.

Addendum: I forgot a Campbell buyout frees up 3.9 the first year. Still not enough for Zadorov + the remaining spots, but it will allow something better than a league min signing.
