Kane AND Nylander

Created by: Rajvinder
Team: 2023-24 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 19, 2023
Published: Sep. 19, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
One thing that isn't talked about enough is the potential that the Leafs sell a little low on Nylander if they know that they can get Kane for $3M.

Also signing Kane before the season starts would be advantageous cap wise for any team. If he is signed for $3M before the season starts its a $3M Cap Hit. If he is signed for $3M exactly halfway through the season its a $6M Cap Hit cause its pro-rated.

Maybe Treliving explores this if training camp starts and a deal doesn't look likely. At that point Kane + rental price on Nylander might still be advantageous this year and into the future.

Just playing around with this idea.


Nylander/Jarnkrok/Lili moves should be preseason. Tanev trade can happen during the year or at the deadline, could target someone else if Calgary is doing well, I just don't think Calgary does this right now, they don't want to throw in the towel from the start. But the other trades I could see being accepted immediately.

Trades
1.
TOR
  1. Oleksiak, Jamie
  2. Sale, Eduard
  3. 2024 3rd round pick (TOR)
  4. 2025 1st round pick (SEA)
Additional Details:
Seattle has both the cap space and defensive depth to make this trade. Megna is an instant Oleksiak replacement who played with Karlsson until he was traded last year and has a similar style of play. Also gives Fleury a chance at the lineup if they decided to go that direction. They truly have 8 NHL D.

Cap wise, they have 900k right now, once Drieger goes back to the minors (he played all season there last year) that frees up $2.4M. That's $3.3M in cap space, this trade costs them $2.3M in cap so that means there is $1M left for a 14th forward or 8th D (they are down to 7 with Oleksiak gone).

Nylander is obviously way more valuable than Oleksiak even with just 1 year left. Oleksiak is a solid #4D, Nylander is a first line winger so Toronto grabs some futures in the deal.

Sale is a good potential player who was just drafted in the late 1st round.

Leafs also get a 1st in next year's draft and their 3rd this year back.

This is similar to a trade deadline rental deal you might make. Not a star player being dealt trade. No A+ assets or big name prospects in return.

TOR
  1. 2025 3rd round pick (VGK)
Additional Details:
Makes sense on loads of levels.
3.
TOR
  1. Luostarinen, Eetu
Additional Details:
About the closest forward equivalent I could find to Lili. Both defintely NHL players but could be much more than they currently are.

Florida litterally has 0 RD to start the season with Montour and Ekblad injured. Cap is also a perfect fit.

    RF isn't giving up a 1st, let alone two, for any player. Just go look at his trade history.

    how does sending Drieger to minors give them 2.4M in extra cap space?
