Description

Concept is to target a couple of players that are on good deals with term that fill lineup voids.

Ritchie (1.5Mx2): Age 23, PWF, still developing, decent offense, takes a lot of bad penalties
Mayfeild (1.45Mx4): Age 26, big, shutdown, physical RHD, not much offense

Note on Mayfield, I don't know a lot about him so I am making some assumptions here based on what I have read. Apologies if I am undervaluing him NYI fans.

This comes at the expense of Johnsson and Kapanen, who the Leafs hate to lose but may be forced to move due to the Marner contract. Ritchie essentially slots in as an AJ replacement on the left (downgrade) and Mayfield becomes Reilly's new bigger, stronger, younger Hainsey.

Note - Marner's 10.5 is on a short term deal to reduce the number. Means he can cash in at a younger age. He'll be RFA, but with arb rights.

Of course Marleau could just do us a solid and agree to be moved and retire (or suddenly become allergic to hockey equipment and go on LTIR),

Trades

TOR

Kesler, Ryan
Ritchie, Nick
2020 2nd round pick (ANA)

Additional Details:

Assumes Kessler is on LTIR. While that takes care of the cap for Anaheim they still need to pay the balance of what his contract is insured for (say 20% if only 80% is insured) and the Leafs could pay that cost instead.

ANA

Johnsson, Andreas [RFA Rights]
2020 4th round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

If Johnsson demands/is awarded something north of 3.25M.

Only if Kesler goes on Ltir is the only way this works and he has to promise he will stay on it haha

I'd do this in a heartbeat as a Ducks fan, but it seems highly improbable; that probably isn't enough to dump Kesler's contract, and getting Johnsson back is too good to be true. If anything, it would be the other way around, with the Ducks taking on whatever cap they can (think Zaitsev packaged with a pick or two).

I don't think the Mayfield deal is unreasonable. It's one of the better trades I've seen on here involving the Isles and Leafs. I would like to see the 3rd potentially become a 2nd if JHS reaches a certain number of points though. He's a lottery ticket but I honestly think he is very skilled. Just hasn't gotten a fair shake here.

I don't like the Ritchie-Johnsson trade from Toronto's point of view. (I can tell because I love it from Anaheim's POV.) Johnsson is a better player already than Ritchie and has a higher upside. I don't see how the modest cap benefit is sufficient to overcome that gap.
