Well we were all very very wrong

Team: 2019-20 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 2, 2019

Published: Jul. 2, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Well no one expected any of this at all.... so now that the picture is a bit more clear..

Kerfoot: Strong defensive numbers, has played Center in the NHL. Good for 40-45Pts. 24y/o RFA. So here is a 3 year deal at 3.2. I assume he signs a Kappy/Mango deal. anywhere in that range

Ceci: Leafs pay and dump. After signing him to 4.5Mil, you pay him immedaitley 3.5Mil in bonus. Trade him away to a team that needs the cap hit without the Salary. I chose vancouver but to be honest I have no idea who would take that contract on. Any D coming back is just as bad or has too much term or both. Maybe the best course of action is to give him his bonus' just trade him away and get a UFA D.

Marner: After Meiers and Aho sign very good deals, marners 11Mil/5 is as we all knew, stupid. No offer sheets have come. Aho the best comparable, plays C and is arguably slightly more skilled(up for debate). Marner eventually signs a long term 9Mil/7. I might be a bit low, maybe 9.25, but now with 2 comparables, 1 a great one.. his price has to have dropped.

Sparks: He is your backup because all remaining goalies are terrible. but maybe scott darling? Eddie Lack? Either way its a crap shoot.

Ideally I would like to upgrade the defense more with the amount of cap we still have, esepcially with dermott out for part of the start, but not sure who could be added for 1 year. Need next years $ to attempt to resign Barrie and maybe Muzzin. If either are even possible. The option is keep Ceci for the year and try the ol pump n dump? THere is enough cap space to do it..

I think Muzzin-Barrie is a better pairing off the bat, but who knows. Give them shutdown minutes. Give Rielly Dermott the fun OZ. 3rd pair.. i dunno?
