Description

First off, I do not know how Nylanders Dollars are showing what they are (over 10 mill) and I do not know how to fix it! Maybe it will change after I have hit Publish.
Keeping in mind I am like all of you only an armchair GM some valuations may need tweaking. What I tried to accomplish here was to solve cap relief problems and positional needs for a number of teams, so that for the Leafs they can remain competitve this year and going forward, mostly by continuing to strengthen the back end defensively.

Brown cannot be afforded going forward, and I am sure McDavid would like to play with him again. EDM gets cap relief, a backup Goalie for the season, and Puljujarvi gets a new address with a functional team to develop with.

Philly gets Talbot and a prospect, you can argue about the payment back. Leafs get Insurance after moving Hutchinson (should have been part of first trade oops).

Leafs move Zaitsev to make room for Pesce.

Pesce staright up for Kapanen. Argue about what else to add.

Leafs cannot afford to re-sign Gardiner so play him with Pesce to maximize his value and trade him at the Draft to Minnesota for Picks.

Might be better trades with Western Conference Teams but I am not as familiar with the players.

Marleau contract, not marleau the player, is really hurting Leafs.

Have a great long weekend!

I think that Buffalo would rather keep their three firsts, than downgrade to a 2nd and get Zaitsev.

To answer that first question....the $10m + is actually Nylander's cap hit for this year. Next year (and for all of years 2-6 of the deal), his cap goes to a shade under $7m.

It's this way because of a rule in the CBA about signing RFA's after the start of the season and there's a specific equation that determines the cap hit in year 1 vs the remaining years

That’s what Nylander cap hit is. Anyway, it’s a no from Carolina, and a no on the Zaitsev trade

...as for the trades...they mostly made more sense in the offseason for me....Brown to Edmonton for JP could have legs if JP can be extended under $1m

No need for Talbot to be involved...I would think Philly is happy to ride or die with Hart now

We are not getting anywhere near that kind of return for Zaitsev...so expect some backlash on that deal in the message thread

I am ok with Kapanen - Pesce deal in the offseason....I love what Kapanen brings to the roster but if it's a straight up trade for Pesce I can get behind it.
