?????? What?? You say the Leaf only have one Dman signed for 2020/21? Don't RFA and ELC Liljegern and Sandin count. Plus the the 10.75m in expiring contracts from three UFA Dmen get other players
Gee look at that San Jose roster.....there are 11 expiring contracts. Sharks are have worse cap issues next year. And even this roster isn't cap compliant if going with 23 man roster
Can't see the Leafs trading Matthews for Burns. And Lebanc....he's nice but the Leafs have winger prospects expected to be good and not as expensive next year.
Yep the Leafs are somewhat cap strapped due to top heavy forwards, but the Sharks cap strapped having three Dmen in there 30s make 26.5m....All three have NMCs which sorta kills Burns being traded.
