Description

Hoping Spezza is resigned in place of Malgin. Unlike 95% of CapFriendly followers, don't think the Leafs have to go right handed shot Dman crazy at any cost. Dermot has played LHD well with two inferior partners in the past two seasons. Playing with Reilly will seem "easy" compared to Higachov?and Ceci. Lehtonen claims he can play the right side. Marincin can, and Liljegren is still available. Time to see if Korshov and Barabonov are NHLers, if not the Leafs will be weak on the wings, unless there is "good news surprises" like Robertson. Marner plays the right point on the PP where is very effective in 2018/19

Free Agent Signings

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Dermott, Travis	2	$1,750,000
Malgin, Denis	1	$825,000
Mikheyev, Ilya	1	$1,500,000
Gauthier, Frédérik	2	$1,250,000

Trades

TOR

5th round pick

DAL

Johnsson, Andreas

Additional Details:

Johnsson "playing value "is worth more than 5th. But too many teams need to dump cap with NHL worth players, so players like Johnsson have little "trade " value

But Johnsson isn't a cap dump, hes a top 6 winger at around $3M. They just won't trade him if thats the offer

If dermott is a top 4 RD for us next year then we aren’t serious about contending. I don’t know what people are seeing that says dermott is ready to not only play top 4 minutes but on the right side.

His play...

I’ve always wondered why he has been held back on the bottom pair. His offensive results haven’t been there but the skill is. I think his defensive game is great. His ability to play both sides is a great asset as well.

He played by far his best hockey as top pairing defensive guy. Simple plays and smooth in everything. He is top-4 D. If he plays there next year, he has done enough to get himself promoted.

I think hes a borderline top 4 guy right now and will become a legit top 4 in 1-2 years but the dermott we saw last year dosent play on the top defensive pairing for a team who should be trying to contend like the leafs next year.
