Toronto declines, this is terrible

Something along these lines could work but that return is dog**** man come on lol JT is still a 70pt guy who probably re signs at whatever number the hawks want and Marner is a long term piece to play with bedard.

Dog****? The Leafs free up nearly 22 million for 2 players that they claim are horrible and dont preform when it matters most. You arent even taking cap back. There is insane value in opening up 22m in cap space

“Marty you’re just not thinking 4th dimensionally” No retention = Close to $22 million (USD) in cap space.

Cap space would be fine, that doesn’t mean you trade Marner and Tavares for absolutely nothing. Marner is over a point per game in his career and is in the prime of his career, you don’t need to retain lol


Tavares isn’t going to waive, he would need retention if there was anything available, but that’s extremely unrealistic that he moves

name one team that has nearly 11 million in free cap space that can take Marner contract without sending back cap? Also he's going to want a 12+m extension. JT makes 12m .... same question but for a much older worse player

Funny thing about trades is that when you trade a player away, their cap goes away… everyone has the same salary cap to work with. So quite literally every team has a chance to trade 1 or 2 players away is they wanted to make room for Marner


And as far as Tavares goes like I said, he’s not waiving and he’s not worth 11m, it’s unrealistic to expect a Tavares trade

Welcome to Cap Friendly! The UFA's and Macklin...good. Those trades...bad

Toronto needs to clear cap to sign " more impactful" players.... So what team has the cap space to take Marner without taking cap back? that was my question... didnt answer it. You said "dog****" but he took on 22m in cap space while not sending you back cap and having you retain. AGAIN there is MASSIVE value in freeing up 22m without taking back cap.

22m can get you

5m Domi
5.5m Bert
6m Skjei
6m Montour

thats 22.5 million in players right there.... makes your team drastically better give or take a million here or there

Why does Toronto need to clear cap? They aren’t in cap trouble, they have plenty of cap to spend on good players (which there’s a handful of good players available in UFA)


It’s incredible that people think Mitch Marner is worth absolutely nothing, my God

Toronto has plenty of cap? WTF do you mean?

You are also missing the bigger picture obviously. How much do you think it would cost to move 22m in money in the NHL? Marner def has value but JT really doesnt imo or he would be hard to move with that cap him.

Yes, they arent up against the cap, they have lots of maneuverability this upcoming UFA season. Just a basic outlook to the upcoming season, the Leafs have a shade over 20 million to sign 2 forwards, 3 D and 1 G to make an 18 man roster not including RFA Robertson, RFA Liljegren - Easton Cowan or Nikita Grebenkin
