Description

I seen this deal with the ducks on twitter (not a reliable source). It also mentioned that picks and prospects would be going each way, no mention of what that entailed.

The deal makes a little sense, Ducks could use a RHD and Marleau gives them a cheap roster player (salary wise) after July 1st. Seems like a large cap hit to take on for them however.

I think it will only make sense for the leafs if Kesler is truly done, but if there is any possibility of him returning, then it makes no sense for the leafs to take on that term and cap hit. Thoughts?

Also, thoughts on the Vegas/Oilers trades? Fair value? Open for discussion, welcome any constructive feedback.

Like your reasons for the Ducks not doing the trade.....to much of cap hit. And for the Leafs hate the thought of Kesler being deemed fit at in 2020. Then there is Kesler's NTC..
I'd be happy just trading one of Marleau or Zaitsev for no return to just to get cap space.
Miller is he is a competent RHD NHLer....he seems to be, he gets NHL compensation in return in a trade

Kap and Johnsson should get more. I think the Marner deal is pretty spot on. Also it's; saw not "seen"

Agreed, can't really take a chance of having Kesler return. I absolutely would welcome just cap space in any Marleau or Zaitsev trade.

I think with Vegas cap trouble and Miller's play last season, you may be able to get Miller for less than he is worth. Borgman seems to have a future in the league, along with a couple of draft picks, I thought that would be decent compensation. What do you feel would be fair compensation?

Maybe slash a year off the Kapanen and Johnsson deals, I am thinking they will get a 2-3 year bridge, 2 years more likely to keep the cap hit around 3. People on here saying those guys will be getting 4+ million, but that would be overpayments on bridge deals.I am hoping Marner comes in around 10, but I am thinking it will be closer to 10 and a half.

Also, thanks for keeping me on my toes grammar police lol

You're not getting Miller for a 2nd and random AHL defenseman Borg Man.
