Alright a I’ve got 4 basic points outlined here. 1. With no player on LTIR currently the Leafs can begin accruing cap space once the season starts. 2. So let’s imagine that miraculously the Leafs refrain from placing any large salaries on LTIR during the season. 3. As well as they are able to send down a few depth pieces to create marginal space to start the year. 4. On top of that, let’s also assume that Dubas calls several 2-way players up and down on practice/travel days to generate more space throughout the year.
Projected cap space by (whenever deadline is) : 4.5 million
This never crossed my mind. But I think it's an excellent idea. Staal would add more veteran leadership (not that we really need more lol) and he'd be a great 2c.

Buffalo probably could get a better offer for Staal at the TDL to a more desperate team in need of a center. Considering they were 5 points out of the WC at last year TDL they should be even closer in the race this year due to the improvement to the top 6.

Kind doubt you get a better offer for a rental Staal, but I understand that the sabres might not be sellers at the TDL.
