Description

Just trying this out. Don't roast me.

TML gain cap flexibility and change the core of the team.

Arizona gets two elate players with contracts that were front-loaded instead of back-loaded contracts that are going up each year.
The trade is done after SB's are paid for 22-23.

I think Tavares, Copp, and Nylander would be a really good second line. But this team would struggle to make the playoffs, let alone make it past eastern conference rivals like: Tampa, Carolina, Florida, and even Boston in the first round

You cant really ask to not be roasted and put that arizona trade down. It's really really really bad. It makes no sense on any level for Toronto.

The major benefit is the cap relief while still remaining highly competitive. It starts a retool more than a full rebuild.

And you want TOR to pay their signing bonuses on top of that?

But you've traded the pieces you would want to tool around. Why retool around Nylander and Tavares?
