Don't really know Dermott for Jokiharju. Just thought they're both young, both solid skaters, both can move the puck. Chicago needs LHD/Toronto could use RHD

There really aren’t. If you can think of one let me know, but I don’t think it’s possible

Everybody needs to understand that Marleau's cap hit stays. No ifs ands or buts. Dont believe me. Suit yourself.

The guy hasn’t missed a game in 10 seasons. What makes you think there’s the slightest chance he retires?

Marner isn't getting double digits. He'll come in around 9-9.5. I don't mind the DSP signing but I don't understand the Dermott trade. He's a good young D-man the Leafs like and same thing for Jokiharju in Chicago. I don't see that happening at all

It's actually the complete opposite. He's on a 35-plus contract, if he's bought out or retires the cap hit stays

As for the post, the value is similar of Dermott and Jokiharju but I don't think either team is ready to move either of them so I don't see it happening.

Your contracts need work though. 4 years is the absolute worst term to give Marner. It walks him right into his first year of free agency so it limits the availability they have to re-sign him again. Personally, I see either a 3 year, 6 year or 8 year deal for him. 3 years around $7.5-$8M, 6 years around $10.5M and 8 years around $11.5M.

As for Kapanen, everything about him screams a bridge deal. It's best for him and the team. For the team, it keeps his cap hit lower so they can manage better this next year then when things open up they can renegotiate. For Kappy, he's had 1 year in the league which he was far too inconsistent in and played on Matthews wing. That doesn't get you a long term, high dollar deal at his age. I can see him around 2 years but no higher than $3M. Anything longer comes at a cap hit over $4M and closer to $5M and that's not good for either side.

For Johnsson, I think you're bang on for a fair contract. Good work!

If he retires they can easily trade him to a team needing to hit the cap floor but spend less money. After his bonus is paid on July 1, he's only owed like $1.5M but with a $6.25M cap hit.. that's very easily moved. It's exactly what happened with Datsyuk

Dermott is great but I think Joki has more upside. Not to mention RHD are more valuable then LHD. I dont think either team does this trade.

I don't necessarily agree with your take on Marner. Matthews got the deal he got at a really good clip and walks him right into 1st year UFA eligibility. You could argue Marner's just as productive as Matthews has been so why shouldn't he do what Matthews did.

Kapanen is solid. If you think he's worth 3M on a 2 year deal, I think a team is willing to offer him 2 years at 4M. I feel like he'd sign that offer sheet if it was in a good situation.

well yeah, but that's not how you originally put it so I didn't know that's what you meant. I think they trade him to Ottawa to have him retire (if he's moved) and then give them assets to pay his 1.5 mil. But him just simply retiring on the Leafs doesn't help the cap situation at all

Yea I don't see a reason why Marleau retires. He's in good shape, still got hands, and still hasn't won a cup. He's a competitor but I think if the Leafs went to him and said we need to get rid of your contract, I think he'd waive it for a contender or go back to San Jose.

Matthews' contract bought out 1 year of UFA status, a 4 year deal for Marner buys out 0 and walks him right into free agency..

Kapanen was inconsistent. $4M is a massive overpayment for a player that's played 1 year in the league and had to play with a player like Matthews in order to barely crack 20 goals. & offersheets don't happen, I wouldn't be worried about those at all if I'm Toronto. Plus Kapanen is one of the guys that seems like he generally likes and wants to play in Toronto, I don't think he'd sign an offer sheet. Think he's smart enough to bank on himself in the short term to cash in long term. It's not a terrible idea for him at all

He's slowing down dramatically actually. Plus he has a family that he likes to spend time with. A lot of great players retire around 40 without winning a cup but still want one. There's more to life than hockey. Marleau's contract was specifically designed to be easily moveable for whatever reason in the last year, and the NMC was put in place so that the Leafs couldn't just ship him to where ever without his consent because he's a big family guy, he wouldn't wanna uproot his family not on his time or to a place he didn't wanna go.

He's easily moveable if he decides to "retire" but not officially, just like Datsyuk did. Ottawa, Arizona, Columbus, Florida, Carolina, etc. are all teams with low financial budgets, but tons of cap space. Could easily take on Marleau's contract and cap hit of $6.25M and only pay him his low base salary (I think it's around $1.5M) and just use him as a cap hit to hit the floor. Toronto gives them an asset or 2 for taking it, and the problem is easily solved. It's been done before, it's not that difficult to do again.

Easily movable? Yiiiikes. He wants to play. He has a contract. He likes Toronto. He has a full nmc. He plays

I doubt he'll retire either, but saying I doubt he retires and there is no way they can move him period are two very different things. My guess is he doesn't retire, which is why I had him in the lineup in my post. If he does though, then the whole off season is simple.
