<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>Less than 2 million to 2 players they need dumb reasoning absolutely dumb!!!.

Yeah your a complete idiot. You obviously have NO idea WTF you're talking about. I'd sooner take advice from a rock. LMAO

Let's put this in terms your brain cell can understand. Tampa is already $2 to $7 mil over the salary cap (when they are cheating) AND have a major contract (Brayden Point) to get signed by next year. Which means they actually want to re-sign them now since the longer it takes the more they end up paying and for longer terms. Furthermore they have a stack of minor league players pushing for spots. That means Foote (4th D-man at best) and Ross (3rd liner) are ODD men out. On top of all that Robertson is worth both of the anyways and high potential to become a 1st or 2nd line LW. So yes, 2 contracts that are easily replaced with what is in the minors for the less or same amount, for longer, PLUS a LW with far more upside for less than either for the next 3-years.

That all means this deal makes huge sense for both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zuki9797</b></div><div>doubt VAN can afford that, + marner is worth quite a bit more than that
Brodie's value isn't close to pulock's. you gotta add a high pick or two
holl and dermott alone get the two picks. Mrazek isn't worth Blackwood and Graves
TOR is giving up too much in the TBL trade. Robertson is worth foote+colton alone imo, since he could be a second liner if he wasnt injured so much
whitecloud's value is much higher than that, considering he signed such a good value extension recently. gotta at least add a first
Kase = Appleton, Mikheyev + 4th = McCann, Engvall = Fleury. not toooo far off in value</div></div>

Not really looking for comments. But kudos for actually being constructive in your breakdown. I appreciate it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>Mcnabb is probably gone, Whitecloud they figure out the contract. He’s going to be an RFA so it’s not like he is just going to walk.</div></div>

Really? They are currently over the cap. Plus another $4.8 mil is sitting on IR. Then they have no less then 8 contract increases (not including (Whitecloud AND McNabb) coming up at the end of the year.Even with this deal they end up being in a position where they will have to move more salary off their books to the tune of $10 mil or more. Where they find the fairy dust to "figure out" that kind of math must be the same place you find whatever you're smoking.

This trade gives them a decent trade to begin with (just the players involved), time and cap space. Not to mention the draft pick gravy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joronto</b></div><div>Interesting new players but an disimprovement cap and pick wise. Nothing left for the deadline. You have to resign Rielly and or Campbell. Conor Brown is great and I like him very much and would love to see him back in TOR - but this CAPtured Leafs team can not afford a 4th line player with a 3.6 M caphit. I miss Spezza and Simmonds and I would not trade Robertson: he will have a bright future and is one of the wildcards. Like Kase.</div></div>

Actually if you double check there is about $2.2 mil in cap space total when you consider there are 2 extra defence-men on the roster as shown (which I did just to show depth and adaptability)

While I agree that playing Brown on the 4th line at $3mil is a waste of money. Brown is easily a 3rd liner. He is on the 4th line due to Appleton and Batherson having higher potential. He is also a much better option then Kase who is an injury magnet and I do NOT see that changing. Come the trade deadline Brown could be a tasty piece of trade bait again if it comes down to it. Freeing up another $3 mil in cap space.

Spezza and Simmons are both still with the team. They can be plugged in when/where needed as well as help some of the younger players on the Marlies as they move up and down in the system.

Yes, Robertson will more than likely become a good to great player. But Colton Ross and Cal Foote are both promising players that are more NHL-ready and we want to win NOW.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Clement</b></div><div>No disrespect, but you can't offer crap , &amp; expect other teams to say yes.

So As far your proposal goes: Marcus Foligno is not available to be traded. He's too important to wild. He's also beloved by wild GM , &amp; signed a 3 year contract extension starting with next season's beginning.

So all of this is to say Marcus foligno is going nowhere, ; Too Valued by Wild. If he was available to be traded which he's not, the value or lack there of you put doesn't even come close considering 1 player is basically just a body, &amp; another one is 3rd / 4th line who barely plays,</div></div>

You seem to be singaly focused on the Folingo trade. No one is untouchable. Folingo, likkke his brother, would be thrilled to play in TO.

That said, lets look at the trade. Mikheyev is not a 3rd/4th line scratch as you have declared. He played the whole season and usually on the 2nd line. Minnesota needs to get younger. Mikheyev is 3yrs younger and fills in most of the gap. In some places, like skating, better. That said I did edit the deal.
