<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AStovetop</b></div><div>I mean the cap hit change with that EK65 deal is 1.1 mil. You're moving out 2 depth forwards, an ok young NHLer that is up and down from the AHL, and a 3rd pairing d-man with 2nd pairing potential at best.

I can't imagine TOR would pass this up</div></div>

The problem is that with removing so many NHLers is that they all need replacements. It's not just their cap hit being removed without something replacing it which you left out of your figure. It actually adds around 3.6 mil in cap after replacements on league min salaries for a team who's already going to be up against it next season. After this move and an 87.5 mil cap the Leafs would have around 15 mil in space to fill 9 roster spots, including a top 6 winger, a RHD pair for Rielly and a goalie. It's just not workable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Oof, you don't watch Canes hockey huh? Kotkaniemi played 2C start of the season, scored at a PPG pace first 20 games, then Aho got hurt, so KK moved up to 1C, struggled, Drury started scoring as the 2C (about a half a point per game pace) and kept the spot. Since then, both Jarvis and Necas (who have also both had success as natural centers) have played in that role, oh and Staal STILL gets more TOI than Kuznetsov... just admit you've done no research and are trying to push a braindead narrative</div></div>

Kuznetsov's 5on5 icetime in Carolina: 12:51 per game
Staals' 5on5 icetime in Carolina (the past 4 games while Kuznetsov has been there): 11:46

No wait, it's even dumber. I figured it was true cause Staal probably still plays special teams while Kuznetsov doesn't but no .... it's just plain flat out wrong.

Kuz's ice time per game: 15:35
Staal's: 14:44

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>You really trying to argue Carolina's center depth is bad? Are you high or drunk? Tavares isn't playing like a 2C anymore. Staal will at least continue to be a dominant chance creating center who will finish top 5 in Selke voting. He'll do everything Tavares is doing better than Tavares, extends the Leafs window with cheap scoring depth, and gets to go home to Ontario (yeah, I know Thunder Bay is in the middle of nowhere and like 5 hours from Toronto, but it's close enough for this).</div></div>

The Canes have played Kotkaniemi as their 2C for most of the season and are trying to say they have good center depth? RIdiculous. Almost as ridiculous as saying that the 35+ year old center who has never scored at Tavares' current pace in his entire career is somehow going to be a better player than him.
