Cant fit everyone

10.1 MM for Nuge / Larsson. Might as well just sign mitch for that. Larsson is not good. Yes the trade is fair with Jesse / Bouchard in there, but it's not like youre really saving an cap space with that trade.

Yeah agreed. Fair terms, not a good match since Edmonton is also cap crunched.

In the event that Mitch is looking for 11M+, this may be an attractive option as their depth would suffer immensely next year unless they can move Marleau (which I doubt). Its tough to move Marner, but at least you recoup some offense at a reasonable rate, and add a couple of younger cheaper options with ample potential. Larsson is polarizing, but apparently there was interest from Leafs brass prior to the deadline. Perhaps Larsson could be swapped with the Oilers first and an add from the Leafs, opening up more cap room to add someone else on the backend.



Yeah it would be just as tight in Edmonton as it would've been in Toronto, but Marner level talent is infrequently available/attainable through trade.
