The Kings will not be trading their first 40 goal scorer in 30 years.

Gee, with that $10.9 million in cap, I bet we could get TWO free agents like Dimitri Orlov and Ryan Graves and cure our LhD problem for half a decade! And not give up ANYTHING! (Except what we'd have to trade away to clear cap, for which we could get additional assets.) Then in two years, instead of looking at nothing after Mitch Marner walks, we could be looking at Kempe, Vilardi, whoever we select with that first-round pick, whatever we get for Durzi, Graves and Orlov.

I wonder which course is better . . .

Flyers accept if you take out the 3rd

?Next GM has work cut for him". I think the next GM is in a nice position. True the Leafs prospects and future draft picks are dwindled....thanks to Dubas.
By the team is still good. The decision to trade, resign or have them walk has to made. But if Matthews, Nylander.Brodie "walk" that a lot cap to reboot the team\. I wouldn't be afraid of that at all. Then the following years 22m in Tavares and Marner, are UFAs......
