Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Considering what we got for Tatar, I don't think a 2nd and 3rd is unreasonable for Nyquist. Bringing back Howard on a short term, low cost deal gives our goalie prospects a few more years to mature, while also providing a solid if unspectacular tandem with Bernier.

Skinner was an obvious overpay, but I did that to keep the term short. With extensions for Mantha and Athanasiou, and deals for Zadina and Rasmussen in a few years, I didn't want to lock up a ton of money long-term.

The Daley trade was made to create roster space; I would expect the return to be minimal. The Leafs have made it pretty clear that they aren't going to play Leivo, I think he'd be a great low-risk high-reward addition, and Babcock loves Glendening.

There have been rumblings out of Edmonton that Klefbom could be on his way out; Green at $3M gives them an experienced defenseman who can run their powerplay. Saarijarvi is a solid prospect that gives them a right handed defenseman after Green is gone; Svechnikov would add to their young forward corps, and the 3rd round pick is a sweetener considering the great deal that Klefbom is on.
