Not sure if Blackwood even would cost as much as I had added, or maybe he costs more, his value right now seems extremely low (I would target Nico Daws frankly over Blackwood), but Blackwood is apparently available. Main objective was to move out the salaries of Kerfoot and Holl, then buyout Mrazek.
Philippe Myers is likely to bought out buy Nashville for a cap *credit* of 660K, and he played for the Marlies this season on loan. I expect the leafs to add him as a 7th dman, which you can do worse for a 6'5" RD as a 7D, with 6'5" Rubins as 8LD.
Gave Sandin his QO on a 1 year deal (Leafs did the same with dermott), then Liljegren got 2 years at 1.25M, gave engvall security with a 3 year 1.75M deal. I honestly have no idea if Blackwell is a league min, 2M, like what, i just gave him his old salary with a 50K boost. Kase was the hardest one, I debated not re-signing him and grabbing a diff UFA like Aston-Reese for 4RW, but ended up deciding 1.5M with a 2nd year of security is a fair compromise for the always injured player. Knies signs out of NCAA, and Robertson I have faith in as middle six already. His AHL numbers are good but not great, but that's before recognizing he was PP2. His 5on5 production was 3rd best in the league for U23 players and he's 20. His production is right in line with his brother's too, which is encouraging. For him, if he can stay healthy, no reason I can see not to have him next to Tavares.
This playoffs probably moves Nichushkin past may bet of 5.5M, but there's enoughother good UFA players that I could get another 2nd line C/W if needed.
I also wonder why Leafs fans are so horny to get Blackwood. He was terrible last year and is a big wildcard. Seems scary to put the stanley cup hopes of the team on that guy.

Apparently Kerfoot, Holl and a mid pick can get the Leafs any player
As said in the description. they were just cap move trades. a 6'4" RD who is good on the PK and a middle six C/LW/RW who plays PP and PK have value. How much, I dont know. From what's being said, Devils want an upgrade on goaltending ( a lot of reports have campbell linked to the devils) so i figured why not trade for blackwood. Getting him without backup support is a massive gamble, but I used that money for Val who i've liked for a while and sadly (or happily for himself) got ahuge raise after this year.
sandin and lilegren will get offersheets if thats the best the leafs will do.

Myers & Sandin get more money
Nuke will re-sign with the Avs at that term and price point - gotta look at 6x6 minimum to steal him away
Liljegren has 74 career games played with 24 points, 1.5M is the max he gets for 3 years or less unless a team offersheets. Sandin i have 1 year, which means Toronto can apply pressure to take his QO same way they did with dermott, which is exactly 874,125. Sandin has 88 games played and 28 points. Neither of these players have much time above bottom pair usage, so they really dont have any leverage, especially without arbitration. Only way either gets much more is a long-term deal, or an offersheet which again, what team is giving these guys 4M or something. It's 2M at most which is worth a 3rd and leafs match. Also, if teams didn't offersheet Erik Cernak who had 28 points in 125 games played, a stanley cup ring as the 2nd pair shutdown RD, and he got 2.95Mx3 when Tampa had no cap space and 4.2M offersheet is only a 2nd, nobody is offersheeting. Offersheets literally only happen when someone goes insnae (Bergevin, who offersheeted Aho with a lowball offer too that was easily matched), andrevenge for offersheets (Kotkaniemi getting a vey expensive revenge offersheet for doing one to Aho). That's it.

if another team see potential expect an offer sheet. allegedly there is a team interested in sending an offer to sandin.

Its just already been reported that Sandin and Liljegren are going to be getting contracts around 2M. Also, again, you aren't getting Nuke for that contract, and Knies isn't playing this year

Sound like the type of players the Leafs are trying to get. Funny how many ACGMs are trying to trade them away

Well Liljegren just got 1.4x2, so my 1.25x3 wasnt far off.

Oh, there's irony in it for sure. But it's more leafs have spares at league minimum, and we need the cap space for goalie and a top 6 physical C/LW more.
