I’m kinda hoping we re sign neither muzzin or Barrie and find Rielly a real partner, even if it is short term. A guy like hamonic would be perfect.

I don't know why fans think they have any hold any UFA. Teams shouldn't get involved in any bidding war for UFAs. Muzzin isn't needed that badly, and I'm sure Barrie with his offensive flair will price himself out of LealLand . There has be better value out there, even if means trading a forward for cap space

I know you’re itching to get rid of a forward, I see you have turned your sights to kappy lately. If mikeyev looks good while Hyman is gone (kappy will most likely fill in for Hyman and mikheyev plays 3rd line) I hTe to say it but his job may be in jeopardy. But that’s a lot of speculation. I think if a forward is moved it is for trade value more than space. Our top 5 of the future is already under contract with the leafs. How much do we want to give up to only make a log jam.

Not that I want to get rid of Kappy, but if some cheaper Marlies are deemed ready in 2020, it's an option. Even if the cap goes up to just 83.5m, the Leafs could keep their forwards, sign Dermot and have about 7 or 8m to fill the final three Dmen positions. So really Leafs might be OK and better than some other teams cap wise. Reily, Dermot, Sandin, Liljegren and three others at 8m. At that's 23 man roster.

I've been ready by the misinformed how the Marner contract have cursed the Leaf cap forever.

That's really why I played around with this. Add whatever defenseman you want whether it's a free agent or via trade, graduate Marlies to replace your bottom 6 wingers as they price themselves off the roster, the point is even if the Marner deal is a bit rich the team is still set up well cap wise for the future

To avoid the No.500 sim today where Marner is signed, i will just write it here, youll figure it

Thing is first cut will be made this year already. With Matthews and Marner overpaid by 2M each ( or 2y in term), sadly Hyman is on the way out, cause 2019/2020 already isnt doable without that

And now the sim 2020/2021, will write $$ youll figure it out i guess :

775,000 - 11,000,000 - 10,893,000...................................22,668,000
775,000 - 11,634,000 - 6,962,000.....................................19.371,000
3,400.000 - 3,500,000 - 3,300,000....................................10,200,000
775,000 - 775,000 - 775,000..............................................2,325,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------54,564,000

TOTAL : 81,521,000

O is set longterm ( kinda ), proly D needs explanation, 1st Pair Rielly - UFA ( hopefully Hamonic or something ), 2nd Pair Muzzin ( 4 x 5M ) and Dermott ( 3 x 3M )

I believe its enlightfull enough, 2M in the pot still, which even makes Spurgeon or Pietrangelo at 7M fishable if any of those will hit Free Agency.....

Is it Stanley Cup team ? I doubt with above mentioned 4M missing to land another #1-2 Dman

I guess you will come with Andersen for 2021/2022 and Rielly 2022/2023 next........

I hope they will re-sign Muzzin, he costed 1st and 2 x 2nds and is curently the only approximation of defensive D, Barrie is the one who isnt needed ( especially not at price of 5M+), TML have forwards to play the Offensive game. From some other thread ( where ChiHawk wanted to be smart how we need to sell Nylander again ):

I don’t mind the idea of muzzin Dermott on the 2nd pair. Hamonic would be nice, perfect partner for Reilly.

Hopefully CGY wont be able to "pull another Stone" next Offseason.

I remember reading something that Barrie wants 8x8
