Created by: ek_65
Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 12, 2019
Published: Dec. 12, 2019

Description
TML:
- Gets around $5M in cap relief (used for D and backup)
- Domi adds some feistiness and versatility in the top 6 (can play wing but centre if injury)
-Caufield is a stud who will be able to produce playing in Year 2 and 3 with Matthews and Tavares (like DeBrincat on his ELC) which will be helpful for a team in a cap crunch.

MTL: Marner will be their superstar forward they need and will thrive in the spotlight.

Montreal has no interest in trading a potentially generational goal scorer and their 2nd line center for an overpaid winger that since he got paid, plays with no emotion.

easy no from mtl. marner is great, but for starters he isn't a center. he doesn't have a rough side like domi. habs needs atm are a top 4 left D and centers. this trade doesn't help with either need

The fact that anyone says this is a no from MTL is laughable. Marner is worth much more than this regardless of how much he gets paid.

If he was on his ELC, no doubt Montreal does it, but that contract ruins his value

Makes sense, would have been great if KK had kept his upward trend from last year and could fill the top-line centre spot (similar to how Barkov did in Florida) in his 3rd year. Unfortunately, he's had a tough year.

At this time in Barkov's career, he has 36 points in 71 games. Barkov was also 6 months older in this situation at all times. It's not far off.

Not to mention, KK's defensive game is very good for his age.

no he is not. for starters he's a winger and not a center. mtl is trading a 70 plus point 23 year old center who plays a tough game, and a potential 40 goal scorer for marner. helllllllllllll no

As a Hab Fan... MTL CAN'T SAY NO!!!
Imagine the line-up after (=pts)

Tatar(65)- Danault (60)- Marner (90)
Drouin (65)- Suzuki (60) - Gally (60)
Lehko (45)- KK (45)- Armia (50)
and we still have great Prospect like: A: Poehling, Ikonen, B+:Evans, Ylonen, B:Fonstad, McShane...

You don't split up one of the best lines on hockey. We don't need that overpaid contract. In order to win in today's NHL, you need to have depth, Getting a bunch of 10+ Million dollar contracts doesn't allow you to do that.

The Leafs get Caufield who has 3 ELC years left and is a pure goal scorer. That would be really helpful. In addition to Caufield, they get Domi who is a rare mix of high skill and sandpaper. That would also help the Leafs a lot.

The Habs would give that all up for a 22 point upgrade on Domi last year, and they will pay this soft winger nearly 11M. How does this help Montreal? Beats me.

caufield is not generational scorer, at best he has elite potential he is a good prospect yes but that is way over hyped on him

He's set goal scoring records everywhere he has played. He has a better shot than Matthews and he's already a 40 goal scorer. He's definitely generational

STL fan here, no way should Montreal accept this deal if for no other reason is because why pay Marner over 10 million when they could use that money elsewhere. Not to mention, Domi has been really good for Montreal and Caufiled looks like a premier goal scorer in the making. Easy no from Montreal.

As a Leaf fan, I don't mind the trade, especially for cap space benefit. But isn't the opening statement is kinda ridiculous "Caufield is a stud who will be able to produce playing in Year 2 and 3 with Matthews and Tavares (like DeBrincat on his ELC) which will be helpful for a team in a cap crunch.

Caulfield is not a NHL stud. Time will tell if his NCA scoring prowess translates into NHL success. Hockey fans should know that there have been hundreds hit maybe thousands of junior, NCAA, AHL scoring wizards who never made a mark in the NHL.

Of course there's no real guarantee that Caufield will be a star in the league. but projections still give a good indication of where things could lead. and Caufield's projections are through the roof, like what @Price_is_the_goat wrote, looking at all the names of players he's beat, or on pace to be beat in goal scoring records in the NCAA, USHL, ect. (he also tied Ovechkin's WJ U18 record for goals in one less game, Ovi 14g in 8 games, Caufield with 14g in 7..)

When the only knock on the guy is his size, and the naysayers were convinced his offense would dry up once he got separated from Hughes and play against bigger older guys in the NCAA, and he's still thriving (12g in 18games), it's hard to bet against him now...

Don't forget that Domi will cost near 8M/y... so 2M more for Marner seems the fair cost

Domi isn't getting anywhere near 8mil. Maybe 6.5 at most.

With this year in the making he has yet to prove that he can be a constant contributor to the scoring sheet. Because of this he isn't going to get close to 8m$, the better option for him would be to get a bridge deal of maybe 3 years (Would need to see where he gets his first UFA eligible year) at around 5.5. Let's not forget that he's on pace for a sub 15g and around 50pts season, that's less than Danault and half the d-zone commitment, if he's banking on his last year and rookie year scoresheet to get paid well .... He doesn't even have the arbitartion rights.

I agree.. he is on a paste of getting 3yx6M instead of 7yX8M after 72pts season.

domi at 8 mill will be for 8 years. marner needs a contract again in 6. there's a 2 year difference as well. PLUS Domi is a center. marner isn't. and Domi plays with an edge that marner doesn't have. habs say no

He slipped to 15th for a reason. Matthews went 1st for a reason.

Caufield has only ever played with elite playmaking centres so theres a chance he doesn't produce without a guy like Hughes or Turcotte setting him up. Obviously on the leafs he would have Matthews or Tavares, but idk if he will be an "elite" goal scorer on a lot of teams.

He slipped to 15 because the draft was so stacked. Teams are also scared of his size for some reason. Zadina went top 5 because of his size but Caufield is better than him at doing what he does best
