Lol every team declines holy, Chicago also is letting Strome walk

The zombie Muzzin-to-Los-Angeles-in-spite-of-the-cap trades never stop . . .

Fortunately, the Kevin Fiala acquisition and Adrian Kempe signing have now made all Jake-Muzzin-to-Los-Angeles trades impossible. Pretty soon they should die out, as even Toronto fans will eventually get the numerical message.

Current roster:
11 forwards = $43.3 million
4 defenders = $17.5 million (Doughty, Roy, Walker, Spence)
2 goalies = $10.8 million
dead cap = $2 million
Subtotal = $73.6 million
Grundstrom = $1 million or more
Vilardi = $1 million or less
Turcotte, or other promotion from Ontario = < $1 million
Anderson = $2.5 million or more
Durzi = $1.5 million
Total = $80.6 million or more
Amount remaining for one LD = less than $1.9 million

So we couldn't fit Muzzin in at 50% retention ($2,812,500) unless you took Alex Iafallo back, which would mean adding your 2023 first-round draft pick to the offer.
