Reilly cannot stay Poll at bottom

Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 10, 2021

Published: Jun. 11, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Kerfoot's contract is really appealing to a team wanting to save real $$$ and get to the cap floor. I think for that reason he is traded before the expansion draft. Toronto also needs cap space and I believe they can find a suitable replacement for a bit cheaper. If not then keep him, but it'll be more of a salary cap dance again like this last season.

Reilly should be the odd man out on defence. Holl is the most expendable but he is on a reasonable $2M deal and provides great value at that number. Reilly will continue to become more expendable as Sandin improves and from the looks of him on the PP, Reilly will lose value based on his point production. Still a fabulous player but one they cannot afford due to the flat cap world.

Marner had a bad playoff but it isn't yet the time to move him. Value returning won't be acceptable currently until teams know when the cap ceiling is rising. The big 4 contracts are and should be here to stay for next season.
