Leafs 2019-20 - leaf side of a previous posted PHI AGM Nylander trade

This is just the leafs side of the trade proposed in this AGM https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1115312

Pick #11 overall? Plus enough cap space to sign Marner for $10M and Kapanen and Johnsson for a combined $6.5M, and keep the rest of the team together? Where do we sign up?

It certainly works.... can’t help but think that this not what dubas had in mind when he acquired muzzin. As unlikely as it seems a retired Marleau seems to fit perfectly. When I do an agm and sign everyone I take Marleau throw him into ltir and move petan up from the scratch list and it fits like a glove. Maybe he has other plans like moving zaitsev and brown but I just don’t see how you move zaitsev and replace him and stay below the cap. Moving nylander fits but has that really been Dubas’ plan since January?

Completely agree. And I'm not a fan of trading Brown for Matthew Benning just to get another RhD and save $200,000.

I know some folks well think, it's not enough of Nylander. But it really doesn't matter. Marner, Kapanen and maybe even Johnsson "screwed" the cap by having good seasons and of deserving of bigger money that what was expected. Plus the 11m cap. cost of Tavares who you got for free, means you might have to trade cap at some time. So, Nylander may/may not be better than 7m cap hit, it's doesn't affect what the Leafs might have to do this summer.
Like lineup but doubt if Hainsey signs for 1m to be beaten like a rented mule.....for the third straight year.
