Thread: Save moneyimprove d core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>Too much or too little? One A ranked prospect, a late second, and a low end 2 RD with a big cap hit for a top line RHD who is super young and carries an incredibly low cap hit? I was being nice to the Leafs for suggesting that cost. Good grief, Montour is even a top 30 defenseman on the PK! What more could you ask for?</div></div>

I don't think you really understand how good Sandin or Liljegren will be. Sandin is already making an impact in the AHL. Liljegren was ranked really high in his draft year but because of injuries so he droped, he as well is doing unreal in the AHL and both of the young d-men will have a chance to play with the Leafs next year.

Zaitsev doesn't have a big cap hit. He is locked where as Montour has only two years. Montour will ask 5+ million and Toronto can't afford that long term.

All that to say that for what you think Montour is worth, Toronto could get a lot more. Don't get me wrong, Montour is a great defencemen and he's only what 22? I think you guys would benefit more out of him having the chemistry built with your d-men. I do appreciate the thoughts and wanting to know if the trade could work.

Thread: Contract Certainty CHI might be able to help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>The real hard part about Seabrook is the term and size of the contract. I agree with every word you just said. It's just ~$7M for 5.5 years. I think CHI and TOR would be great trade partners in some fashion. TOR is clearly in win now mode. The Hawks want picks/prospects. TOR has picks prospects. CHI can provide experienced players (They HAVE to eat cap) How? IDK</div></div>

Thoughts on this:

LEAFS TRADE
Timashov, Dmytro -&gt; growing prospect
Hainsey, Ron -&gt; used to flip for picks
(50% retained salary - $1,500,000)
Conditional 2020 2nd round pick
(If Toronto makes it the playoffs, they will receive a 2nd round pick. If Toronto makes it to the conference finals, the 2nd round pick turns into a 1st round pick)

CHICAGO TRADES
Seabrook, Brent
(42% retained salary - $2,887,500)

Thread: Breaking the buyout button
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Hyman is the guy kids would look up to when he is older as a player that made it through the hard work and dedication. He is the role model of everything new Maple Leafs is about. I would move a pick for Puljujarvi. We have guys like Ethan Bear in the system. No need for him tho.</div></div>

I totally agree with you man. Hyman has made such an impact not only has a player being drafted in the 5th round or something like that, to a great volunteering writing books to mainly children! I happen to have one of his books!
But on the hockey side of things, Puljujarvi can grow into a really good player (Hopefully). Bear would a great asset, especially on the right hand side, and where I feel he has better potential to play top pairing alongside Morgan or even to play top 4 minutes.

Thread: TML 2019/20 season doesn't look that bad.
Your pretty accurate with the salaries. The three stars will for sure take discounts to make this team work. Kapenan will want a bridge deal to see if he actually puts up the numbers, all depending on Babs regarding his ice time because he barely gets any! Or I should say, more then he should be getting. Worst case, we can always get rid of Marleau during the 2019 season (most likely to San Jose, also it would be pretty sad to see him go) to help with the cap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jempey82</b></div><div>Another thing to take into account is that there is a good chance the cap goes upto the 83 mil range which with this lineup gives an additional chunk which would cover contingencies. Although it would also only cover the true salaries of Marner Matthews and Nylander. It's close but it does show just how cap staples we are in the future.</div></div>

Jempey82 has a point in regards with the cap.
