no room when Marner is not moved

I think there is other ways to free up cap space and I am hearing Anderson is going to be moved out for cheaper cap goalie and then the cap saved and maybe a middle cap forward used to acquire another quality defenseman. If necessary, Nylander will have to go.

I think the exit interviews made it clear that Dubas has no intention of moving Nylander or Marner. I doubt he does anything to be honest

Name me a better goalie than Andersen that they can get on a cheaper deal without giving up much?

People forget that Andersen is playing behind a team with no structure. He lets in bad goals once in a while, but he saves clear goals on a higher rate. Freddie is by far the best Leafs goalie in the last 20 years.

Giving up Nylander would be the dumbest thing Dubas can do, he is a great goal scorer, he is on a good contract. Start with moving Marner

I got news for you. Getting a first rounder for johnsson, dermott, and a nothing is crazy.

Seems like a bad move trading Dermot without getting any Dman in return. Leafs are razor thin on defence and it's a big hope than that Lehoten, Sandin and Liljegren can all play top 6 minutes. And if there was injury to Muzzin, Reilly or Holl...no replacement.
Most NHL trades....especially for a cap heavy forward means a lot of cap is coming back in a trade. Does the equal cap swap make the Leafs or the other team better?
