If Leafs Lose In Round One Again

Created by: KingExLeafs
Team: 2023-24 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 5, 2023
Published: Mar. 5, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If Leafs are eliminated in round one again big trades need to happen.

Marner is too good to be moved. No one wants JT at that money. So of the contracts of the core, the only movable ones are Nylander, Matthews, and also Rielly if a similarly bad contract is coming back.

Kane and Matthews want to play together. A trade like this may entice Kane to sign a cheap deal. A line of Panarin Matthews and Kane would be deadly.

Too little for AM34. Need like two firsts in the deal too. Also Miller doesn’t move the needle there will be PIT, DET and FLA willing to take Rielly for a less ludicrous return.

Only way the Leafs trade Nylander is if Dubas and the Nylander's camp seem to be fighting again.

Caps aren't trading Willy but if they were it would be Willy for Nyander straight up, no picks involved.

Or Dubas is fired and a new general manager comes to shape the roster.

Nylander is more valuable than Wilson. A straight one for one won't make sense.

Canucks decline. Don't really need an older and soon to be declining version of Quinn Hughes.

Logically yes, but Wilson is a unicorn. If Caps ever put him up for auction the return would be psycho big. If you wanted Wilson you'd have to overpay to get him. And TOR would easily do this swap. If you traded for Wilson you couldn't afford Nylander anyways.

Why? Not a fan of either team but Rangers are giving up three good players for a top 3-5 player in the league.

If he agreed to an extension would you do it?

Three reasons. Salary cap, youth and potential. Matthews is a great player, no doubt, but the cost of his next deal will be huge, and the Rangers core is already top heavy with costly, long term contracts with NMC's, so adding Matthews would make the cap almost unmanageable. Plus, Igor has two more years on his deal at half his value, but then his next deal will also be huge. Second, all three of Kakko, Laffy and Schneider are very young still, fairly cheap for the foreseeable future, and still have lots of potential to unlock. Thier combined potential is not worth what Matthews adds to the team right now IMO. Adding Matthews, but losing these 3 does not make them better now and really hurts in the cap structure long term.
