2x Stanley Cup Champion PHIL KESSEL Traded to FLORIDA
One of the reasons Kessel's name keeps popping up is because none of the players like him. Malkin doesn't want him playing on his line and Crosby doesn't want anything to do with him, nor does Mike Sullivan, who's apparently quoted as saying he 'can't stand him'. When the coach, the Captain and a superstar on the team don't like you, you're pretty much doomed on the team. It's not if he'll be traded, more like when. I'm not sure I see it happening this season, but maybe next offseason.

Yes, the Leafs management were uninterested in him and seeking a larger package that the Rangers possibly weren't willing to fill. Other teams interested were Pittsuburgh (believed to be package including Maata) but not much past that.

That seems like a really bad idea cap wise for the hawks. Also possibly not enough value for the Bruins to consider the deal now, and it doesn't seem worth it for the Hawks considering that's four more years at 7.25 for a guy who doesn't seem like he's worth that much

How did you get Schmidt? I doubt he'd sign that offer sheet and if he did than Vegas would match it in a heartbeat. You're also not getting Hudler for four years under a million. He'll more than likely sin overseas or only take a one year deal. I also don't see Calgary paying a second for a C prospect goalie who struggles at the AHL level and how WAS would take on the cap of Martin or why?

Are we weaker? Lievo showed a lot of promise, Marleau replaces JVR and Rychel replaces Komarov. Yes there is risk but very little that we totally lose this trade. We also need to remember we need cap space to resign Brown and when you look at what players with one year remaining in contracts are worth they lose some value in the new NHL getting a player drafted very high in a draft is a good return.</div></div>
It's already been said multiple times this week that the Leafs don't have cap issues to resign Brown. I wouldn't pay a second round pick for Fleury let alone JVR since he's not sure to ever make a spot on the team. Yes he's young and he could be good, but some people can play great in the AHL and never translate that to the NHL level. Fleury isn't worth that deal until he's shown promise at the NHL level, and even then it'll still be an overpay for the Leafs this year.

I didn't know LTIR could be used until Mirtle reported it, because it had never been reported before, but that doesn't change what I'm talking about. This is a different thing where every year there's a flood of players being sent down to the AHL before waivers kick in the day after training camp, and for the teams using LTIR a bunch coming back through re-entry waivers on the next day.</div></div>
The only reason I brought it up is because lately I've been seeing EVERYONE attacking the Leafs for being in cap hell, and want to bring light to the real situation.
My question though, is why would you waive Komarov - where he'll more than definitely be claimed - rather than trade him for something?
I also have problems with the lineup your icing. Rychel isn't ready for a lot of NHL action, possibly a limited role since there isn't a spot for him. The Leafs wouldn't spend 1 mill on Moore if he were gonna be an AHLer. Babcock and others have already stated they plan to keep Marner on the wing since they have depth at Center already. If this is just what you personally want, then you do you, cheers

Thread:
Let go of the past, learn about cap life
You know what you're talking about, and I respect that, but I fail to see how we need to be introduced so quickly.
You traded away JVR to get two UFAs with bad contracts to equal us getting A Nylander (which would never happen) and then turned Bozak over as part of a package deal for a young Dman so that we won't be hit with cap problems in the future, right? But why do we need to trade them before THEIR contracts expire at the end of the year? I'm under the impression that, barring a trade using JVR or Bozak to shore up the D on the right side, Leaf Management is going to run with them for the season and make the hard decisions next year, and as a Leaf fan who's talked to many Leaf fans, we know they'll more than likely be gone at the end of the year and it's hard to accept but it's for the future. I just don't see why we would jump the gun and trade them for things we don't need and weaken the team now when we're in the unique window we're in.
For the Buffalo trade, you're suggesting that the Leafs make a divisional trade, and it's not a very good or understandable trade. The Sabres are more than likely going to hang onto Gorges for the rest of the year and let him walk later, and possibly buyout Moulson if they need to at the end of the year. The idea that they'd need to trade both of them so badly they'd include possibly their best prospect and weaken *their* future pipeline is not a feasible one. The only way I see them moving a prospect to get rid of a bad contract is only if they move a less valuable prospect and a pick, and keep Nylander.
Yes, in your trade scenario, JVR is headed their way and they get a pretty solid LW who can put up good points, but that's when it doesn't make sense for the Leafs to make the trade, because aside from getting Nylander, who might do better under Babcock and playing with his brother, isn't tracking to be an absolute all-star in my opinion, and if he does become that with the Leafs, he'll cost more than JVR would have with the team and put the other contracts in jeopardy. In the end, that's not where the Leafs need help, and given Buffalo probably passes on the trade so that they can keep Nylander and have an even stronger future, and the only way I see them trading him is for defensive help.
The Oleksiak trade is something I can't even believe I have to clear up. I watched Oleksiak play junior and thought he was awesome cause he was so big. Now I look at a 6'7 defenseman, who even on a depleted defensive team like the Dallas Stars still has yet to play a full season. I look at his stats and I really see why. Yes, he's a big guy, but that's really about it. He's really not that great, and I refer you to go to look at hockey-reference.com to look at all the stats, and at the bottom you'll see players who share the same statistic trends as him, and I'll give you a preview, players like Trotman, Reese, Olsen, Janik and Cote share comparables with him and do you know what they all have in common? They're all fringe NHLers/failed NHLers. So no, I'm not trading my offensive defenseman who may struggle in his own zone some nights, plus my best faceoff guy AND one of our depth defensemen for a guy who probably won't make that big of an impact, and NO I'm not going to pay him 5 million dollars. I wouldn't mind Oleksiak on the team, he might do well under Babcock, but at the end of the day he's not worth what you say he's worth, and I don't think he ever will be.
Now, when it comes to the Kadri for Letang trade, you didn't address the injury and health issues plaguing Letang, and the jeopardy of his career. You also say that the Leafs can't keep Kadri, yet they signed him to this deal last year, giving him the money and term they did because he's practically a steal at that price and more than that he's locked up for a long time. Yes, it's possible in a few years that they could trade him, but with the unique position we're in right now and with the knowledge he just came off his first 30 goal season, I don't find it smart to trade him for an injury riddled player.
And also, if you're preparing the team for the hurt of a salary cap, why acquire a player who's worth 3 million more than Kadri is, and can't stay healthy?
After looking at the cap situation and running over different scenarios, granted the Leafs don't overspend on key players, then the team will have more than enough room to keep Kadri AND the core they've built. I see your little cap situation you created, but it's for nothing ultimately. If you look at the Leafs CURRENT roster and take it to 2019/2020, you'll see the team has players under contract that can be called up to fill holes (Bracco, Brooks, Grundstrom, Nielsen, Dermott and Liljegren, not to mention possibles like Korshkov and Woll) and cap space to sign Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Kapanen, plus some depth players, while also keeping players like Kadri, Brown, Hyman, Martin and Marleau, although you're tight to the cap. Given the way Marleau's contract was made, with him only being paid 1.25 million after the signing bonus in the final season, don't be surprised if he's turned over in the summer that year to a team that needs cheap help, which gives you 6.25 million more in cap space to sign some of these contracts to higher salaries or ensure you can bring the team back in the offseason. The team is fine right now.
You made all these trades to make the fans prepared, but we don't need to be. The management has already prepared the team to shed cap weight when it needs to.
JVR and Bozak expire after this season. Barring a trade, they'll stay with the team and leave in the offseason.
Gardiner expires before the 2019/2020 season, freeing up cap for them to sign some core contracts, and they have defensive depth in the prospects to replace him easily.
The team is fine as it is, except for the need of defensive help, which we'll more than likely tackle via a trade using JVR or Bozak or maybe even both, and granted it's a solid RHD coming back, then I'll be fine with that and the cap will be to.

Let go of the past, learn about cap life
This is a really good troll, honestly.
But if this is serious, I'll just say these few points.
Olesiak - Not worth Bozak, Gardiner and Marinicin NOR is he worth 5 million (Bad deal that would kill the Leafs long term)
Letang - Waste of a good Center in Kadri and a 1st, since Letang can't stay healthy no matter what and his career is more than likely coming to an end because of it
Defense is much weaker than it was before, given that Letang will get hurt and Gorges isn't an amazing defender who didn't want to come to Toronto in the first place.
Kaskisuo is not going to make the Leafs, they're going to work on Woll and Scott and have Sparks a possible backup in a year or so, if ever.
The offense is much weaker given we have NO center depth and Komarov feels more confident at wing.
All in all, good troll, bad team.
