Thread: For the people saying Marleau is staying in the lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>The reality is that that Leafs just might have to cut bait with Nylander. Leafs need cap space. Nylander has been awful this season. Now I think he is a lot better player than this year results. Leafs can't wait, especially if Marleau does return, Nylander being traded for non cap future might be the only solution for the Leafs. So the Leafs will have an auction. Thinking the offer presented is too high, due to 7m cap hit, though it is just a 4.9m per year cash outlay.
Woo and a 2nd might be the maximum return.
Sparks isn't getting that in return in a trade. Sparks can be retained and even he is sent to the minors next season he doesn't affect the cap. Leafs might have to the that TVR trade as a short term solution at RHD.</div></div>

Woo + 2nd might be the maximum return ........... LOL.

<strong>Before the Leafs are "forced" to trade Nylander they will:</strong>

1. Not sign Gardiner = $6,000,000 saved.
2. Not sign Hainsey = $2,000,000 saved.
3. Not sign Ennis = $1,500,000 saved.
4. Trade Zaitsev = $4,500,000 saved (will cost picks + prospects though).
5. Trade Brown = $2,100,000 saved.
6. Trade Hyman = $2,250,000 saved.
7. Trade Muzzin = $4,000,000 saved.
8. Trade Kadri = $4,500,000 saved.
9. Trade Kapanen = $3,000,000 saved.
9. Ask Marleau to accept a trade + buyout so he can re-sign in Toronto (see Brooks Orpik).

If all of this fails they <strong>might </strong>trade Nylander.
