Purge the D

Created by: freshkale
Team: 2019-20 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 17, 2019
Published: Nov. 17, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
(1) Play Matthews' line more at 5v5 b/c AM and WN drive play well at evens.
(2) JT and Marner are experienced with both the PP and PK; they can play less at 5v5 to account for more time on PP and PK.
(3) Fire Babcock and co., replace with Sheldon Keefe.
(4) Re-sign Hall (pre-trade) and Muzzin. $9.5m x 8yr, and $5.5m x 2/3yr. Re-sign Dermott $3.5m x 3yr.
(5) Holl, Mikheyev, and Gauthier among others to be re-signed with approximately $5m in remaining cap-space after (4).
(6) Consider trading Barrie or re-signing him for cheap.
(7) Trade with Anaheim Ducks only goes through if Ryan Miller approves it. If not, trade still stands in principle to get Petan a better opportunity and use trade to upgrade a 5th round-pick to a 4th (or something like that).

How about fire Babcock and replace him with Don Cherry?

don't trade rielly, that'd be a huge mistake. instead send a package similar to what VGK sent for stone last year.
I'd do Johnsson, lilegren and a second tops

Interesting, thought-out take. I hesitate to fully support it when the plan is to add $7.5M in cap for next season in the resignings for Hall, Muzzin, and Dermott when the only contracts coming off the books are Barrie,Vesey, and Miller.

Also, I understand getting rid of Ceci and acquiring Miller in the Buffalo trade, but giving up Kapanen and taking back Vesey doesn't really seem worth it to me, if you're trying to ensure future success... Kapanen adds a lot of scoring touch, and plays a 200ft game.

Also, Rielly's contract is a boon to have, although he's kind of looked like a mess this year, and I think people overrate Hall. Not sure how I feel about that trade either, since the Hall sweepstakes are based on him not wanting to re-sign in New Jersey, so you may be able to low-ball the Devils.

I think if it's possible to keep Petan in the Anaheim deal, that it could be ideal to keep his cheap af contract. Guy works hard and I've liked his game so far. Would flipping Vesey to Anaheim be feasible?


Just some thoughts. I like your take overall though, it's a possible solution. Good work.

So what you are saying is. Everyone tee off and break a bone there when you get TOR on the PK and that way they kill the team.

There are reasons teams don't like to play their star players on the PK. It's called LTIR

Why don't the Leafs just tank and get Lafreniere? He's going to be better than Hall.

A. Petan wouldn't get more of a shot in ANA, he'd go right back on waivers, they already have a ton of forwards, and B. While the value is certainly there (probably an overpay even, even though Petan and hutch have 0 value) ANA also doesn't have a capable backup goalie, and as he's shown this year hutch isn't one, and it's not wise to play your starter 70+ games a year (just ask VGK), even if he is the best G in the world rn

Actually, Miller has been very good for us. He's 3-0-2 and has the same save percentage as Gibson; he even has a slightly better GAA (2.6 to 2.9). Which is not to suggest that he's anywhere near as good as Gibson, but we won't be trading him away because he's a liability.

If I'm Anaheim, and I am, I wouldn't be making any trades that don't involve a RhD. And Miller isn't leaving SoCal; in case you didn't know, his wife is a working actress. So unless she gets a lead role in a soap shot in NY, he and she won't be going anywhere.

I meant behind Miller they don't have a capable backup

Yeah, I thought you knew our team too well to make that statement. I should have given you the appropriate respect by prefacing my comment with the sentence "Are you sure you don't mean 'After Miller, they don't have a capable backup'?" Shame on me. (This was so clear, I owe you an apology even if I purposely tried to phrase my comment gently.)

Naaah, I'm mad at myself, could have been a hero, knew what you meant, didn't pull the trigger. It just reinforces the one clear life lesson I can claim to have learned in 71 years:

Big or little, it's not the things you do that you regret the most, it's the things you don't do.
