Vegas is in cap hell and will not retain salary.
Hence the 3way trade idea

Kadri isnt worth that high of a pick.
Sure, they can work something out. The idea is that Kadri is out, Eakin is in.

Brown is worth 4th at most.
Andrew Shaw got two 2nds with similar production. Brown has value, just not to the leafs.

Kapanen will get close to 4 and same with Johnsson.
I disagree entirely. The comparables for Johnsson are cut and dry (Athanasieu, Hertl, Panik) all of them got 2-3 years for 3.5-4% of the cap. Kapanen had a poor end to the season and i believe will take a shorter term to prove he is worth more.

marner will get 10.5 maybe more on 8 year deal.
I am pretty close at $10.2M, make it a 6-7 year deal if that pleases you

But i am glad no Marleau or Zaitsev trade because they are either impossible or highly unlikely.
In my mind, the only players that will possibly be moved are Kadri, Kapanen, and Johnsson. Everyone else is safe imo.

That all being said defense is terrible, need 2 more players so will be over cap. And will be over cap when RFA get paid what they should.
OHH and still lose to Boston prolly in 5 with this team.
The defence will strugle this year (Maybe Dermott has a breakout year and Zaitzev gets back to his rookie form) but once Marleaus cap is off the books they can improve. They dont need anymore players, teams can run anywhere from 21-23 player rosters. As for the boston comment. **** the bruins.
