Wasting your 1 year of Bertuzzi playing him with Tavares. He signed with the understanding he will play with Mathews and/or MArner.

He signed with the leafs so he can pump up his numbers and then sign the big long-term contract he was trying to sign this off-season after the cap goes up next year.

Calgary has no need for Murray and can't take his cap hit.

Seattle passes. Cost isn't worth Nylander at this time. Toronto isn't negotiating from a position of strength so the cost will be lower than what's offered.

Imagine declining this trade and trying to justify it to the fans in Seattle afterwards. You'd be tarred and feathered.

RF will survive that. Treivling wouldn't. RF isn't going to give up the cap flexibility in a case like this. Maybe after the season but not this year.

The kraken will come after you at night
