Description
With what we hear everyday in the media about Toronto desperately needs to change and move on from the core 4-5, I believe we are looking at this situation with blinkers on and not focusing on the bigger picture of the 25/26 season.

The Leafs will come into much more cap space with Tavares, whose wage should drastically decrease and Marner, who should only earn the same money as Nylander in my opinion would receive a small increase.

The team below fits under the cap by $1.3M, now do I think it’s the team we all hope for, especially at the back end, no but it’s a team building off what’s been good this past year. No longer are we moving on from Hyman or Bunting but retaining Bertuzzi and Domi, trying to keep some consistency in the lineup.

For 25/26 the cap could potentially go up another $4 million so the situation then would look like this-

Tavares -$5M
Marner +$600K

These changes along with the increase to the cap and the current cap space on the roster would give the Leafs, $9.7M in free cap space with Knies, Holmberg, McCabe, Webber, Hildeby and Woll to resign, 5 of the 6 are RFA’s.

This would be the season to make a push in free agency for the difference maker on defence, let’s hope Stolarz, Woll and Hildeby can be reliable moving forward and be our answer to the goaltending situation.

Bert should be let go. Unlikely he'll take a paycut.

Doubt the Leafs will have won a Cup by the year 2526.

I would hope the 5 years helps to reduce the salary

It's really a silly scenario to think the Leafs have to give up all that to give rid themselves of Kampf.. Kampf stays a Leaf
What is fascination Leaf fans have that Tavares and Marner have to be resigned.
Is Cowan a centre?
9.7m doesn't seem like enough to sign those RFAs.
