Tanev got $3,5Mx6 after scoring a 29 point season.

Hyman gets less than that, with more term, after being in pace for 60 points.

Sounds logical, eh?

Also NSH has no particular reason to move Rinne.

I don't hate the deal.

Anybody but Tanev. He is overrated
Schneider won't fall to the leafs pick
When Liljegren makes the lineup, mind as well trade holl

why trade muzzin, his leadership qualities and ability to block shots, lay out big hits, and be both offensive and defensive make him valuable. Rangers had the chance to move georgiev and they overvalued him. Plus muzzin chose to resign with the leafs when he could have left us in free agency that shows he wants to play here.

because we have an LHD logjam and this assumes that sandin is far too good for the third pair after next season

Your idea for Nashville using their CBO on Rinne is stupid... Rinne>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Turris. So why would their trade for another goalie when they have two... that trade is so dumb.

fair enough- look, if its not enough, move holl and give him an extra mil

whatever, give him to someone else, I don't really care

Okay.... Tbh San Jose is a much smarter trade since buying out Jones seems likely, though they do have Vlasic.

Also you do care or you wouldn’t be put off by the comment.

wasn't "put off" by it. I meant I don't care as in I don't care where he goes or what team's pick that we get back

I'd be pretty down for that Muzzin deal.
Rangers probably getting the short end of the stick though

Rangers looking for an LD for like 1 year not 4 years cause if that was the case the Rangers would of just capped Brady Skjei ...You don't trade a 5.2m x 4 for another 5.6m x 4

It would be 2 years left on his deal. Muzzin is also much better than Skjei

Rangers turn it down...if they wanted a dman signed through his mid 30's they would've kept McDonagh.

so you're just gonna throw one of nils and miller into a top 4 role in their first season without having any sort of contingency plan if they aren't ready? Also putting Lindgren on that top pairing wouldn't be particularly smart for his development either. Muzzin's deal expires when the deal of miller is up- its perfect, by then the two of them will be able to step up.

Nah. I’m gonna either
A) move Trouba to LHD for a year or so.
B) Acquire a cheap, solid short term option like Oleksiak, Cole, Murray etc.

Rangers aren’t a cup contender next year. It’s a development year until Staal/Smith/Lundqvist are odd the books. Rangers did fine last year with Lindgren in a top 4 role. I don’t have too many concerns.

We’ll take Dermott for cheap though.

You're right in your evaluation, but imo signing Hyman to a fairly big deal (let's say 4.5x6) after a career year would be a huge mistake.

Well we don't know how he'll perform in 2020-21 season, since this is a 2021-22 ACGM.

If he scores another 50-60 point season, I think a contract in that range is deserved.

Ah yeah true, he'll still be under contract. My guess is Edmonton or NJ would go hard after him.

Probably, although I don't see TOR letting him go easily as their left side is their weakest one.

I'd rather move Dermott than Muzzin, I understand that Dermott is cheaper and younger but Muzzin is our best defensive dman and has intangibles. Plus if we let Dermott play a season (2020-21) top pairing with Rielly and hes good, could get great value for him in the offseason

This is if Sandin is indisputably a top 4. Then you're not gonna pay Muzzin 5.6 to play the bottom pairing when he's top 4 capable as well and could bring back assets

I don't know why but I feel like Sandin could have success playing on the right side this year and having him and Muzzin as a 2nd pairing would be lethal. If it all played out nicely and this was the case, Dermott could either be moved or run the 3rd pairing with Holl/Liljegren

but do you want to push a young d man off of his comfortable side in his first or second year full year? If it doesn't go well it could really hurt his confidence and development

Leafs fans overthink which way dmen shoot so much. So many teams have guys playing on their offhand, its a normal thing that lots of players do
