Montreal seems like they're desperate for centers and I could really see this happening.
It's a three way trade involving players who all could use a fresh start. I would take Eriksson out of the three as he is the most skillled on the least horrible contract.

He will be put on LTIR but since the leafs aren't against the cap, there won't be any relief, and last years bonuses are carried over, really doesn't affect anything tho.

Mcelhinney was the best back up in the league last year and Pickard is a young, fringe starter. they are getting claimed might as well get some assets. If freddy gets injured sparks was the best goalie in the AHL last season and has starting goalie potential and he would be backed up by kaskisuo, an average AHL goalie.

Where did it say its projected to go to 82 mil? The NHL projects a 5% increase yearly which would be the cap I set. Also the core is locked up for the next 6-8 years with the cap going up, marleaus contract expiring and phil kessels salary retention expiring. It will take a lot of intellignece from Kyle Dubas to surround the core but it can be done as seen with the top teams in the league

Karlsson while bridging the core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>J_Sand3rs</b></div><div>Lol. Here we go.
First, let's go ahead and explain to you what a bridge deal is since you seem to be a little confused -- Ideally, a bridge contract is a method of evaluation that a club can use to judge both the performance and the personality of a player before committing both money and term to that player. When used correctly, both team and player can benefit in the long run because the club will have had more time to become familiar with the player and the player will have been able to better establish themselves in the league and therefore be able to ask for more money.
Lets go ahead and remove both Matthews and Kucherov from this discussion, because you actually did the right thing and gave him an 8-year deal. This leaves Marner, Nylander, Johansen, and Stone.
Through their Entry-Level Contracts let's take a look at their NHL stats, shall we?
Ryan Johansen: 189 GP - 47 Goals, 49 Assists = 96 Points
Mark Stone: 103 GP - 30 Goals, 42 Points = 72 Points
Mitch Marner: 159 GP - 41 Goals, 89 Assists = 130 Points
William Nylander: 185 GP - 48 Goals, 87 Assists = 135 Points
Ryan Johansen's numbers through his ELC aren't really worthy of a long-term, big-money commitment. That's why he ended up getting a bridge deal. It gave him another few years to prove that he was worth the money that he is currently being paid. Mark Stone spent a good chunk of his ELC in the AHL with Binghamton. He did great in the time he was in the NHL, but an NHL team isn't going to commit to a long-term deal for a guy who's played just over 1 full seasons worth of games in the NHL, hence the bridge deal.
Both Nylander and Marner have spent the large majority of their ELC's at the NHL level, and both have been extremely productive at the NHL level. They don't need to further prove themselves in order to ensure a long-term contract. Johansen and Stone are actually pretty bad comparisons for these two. There's a reason guys like David Pastrnak, Tyler Seguin, Nikolai Ehlers, and Nathan MacKinnon didn't get "bridge" deals. They were good enough during their ELC's to get big contracts. Marner and Nylander have both played far too well at the NHL to sign for anything less than a 6-year deal. And neither of them are going to take 6-year deals for $4.5-5M.
You can try to act all defensive and start trying to insult me all you want (graduated college last year, btw ^^ ). Doesn't change the fact that, based on their production, you're low-balling both players and not giving them nearly enough term on their contract.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend you sweet simpleton <3</div></div>
Very good points tbh however, my rationale for signing 3 year deals is to retain the player for the most rfa years possible to sign to an 8 year extension after. I'd rather have a contract expire with Marner/Nylander at 33 where there best years have been with the team rather than at 30. For a 3 year deal Nylander would still get near Kucherov money. I see what you're saying with Marner, so he would probably get around 6-7 on three years depending on next season. Another thing to consider is that these players have no leverage to dictate their term since they can't file for arbitration and GM's choose to deny that offer sheets exist. These deals also benefit both the team and the player by having the team sign the player a year before they become UFA's and the players being ble to further prove themselves like Kucherov.

Thread:
Karlsson while bridging the core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>J_Sand3rs</b></div><div>You say that the bridge contracts for Marner and Nylander are "what their comparables are". Let me tell you why that's completely wrong.
In the last two seasons:
Auston Matthews has 132 points in 144 games (.92 PPG)
Mitch Marner has 130 points in 159 games (.82 PPG)
William Nylander has 122 points in 163 games (.75 PPG)
What you're telling me is that Matthews deserves double the Annual Salary and 5 more years than Marner & Nylander for something as minuscule as a .1 PPG difference and .17 PPG difference? You're insane to believe that.
Here are some actual comparisons for those 3 players (last 2 seasons):
William Nylander (.75 PPG) - Nikolai Ehlers (.76 PPG)
Ehlers just signed a 7-year, $42M deal ($6M AAV)
Mitch Marner (.82 PPG) - Filip Forsberg (.82 PPG)
Forsberg is currently in the middle of a 6-year, $36M deal ($6M AAV)
Auston Matthews (.92 PPG) - Leon Draisatl (.92 PPG)
Draisaitl is in year 2 of an 8-year, $68M deal ($8.5M AAV)
All 3 of Marner, Matthews, and Nylander will see AT LEAST the contract of their comparable, with the potential of earning a larger deal due to the increase in cap space.</div></div>
You must have a seriously thick skull. Those are comparables but I'm talking about comparables ON bridge deals. Those are Nikita Kucherov, Ryan Johansen and Mark Stone. All those deals were 3 years at 3.5-5 mil. As you alter the term the cap hit will change. an 8 year Nylander deal would be 7 mil and Marner would be 8-9. But if it's a bridge deal it will be in the kucherov range. Stay in school and make sure you get better at site passages.

There is nothing in the CBA that can stop a verbal agreement from someone reacquiring a player. The leafs can even screw him over like they did with michalek by telling Ottawa to buy him out, then Ottawa gets his full cap while only paying 2/3rd of 1.25 mil

If things don't work out in ottawa of course he leaves. And read the description, toronto ottawa nad marleau agree to send marleau back at the deadline and if marleau is hesitant he can be threatened to be a consistent healthy scrathc or send him to robidas island.

Mcelhinney is not a starter, Pickard might be but is only signed for one year and won't resign. Sparks is better than both. Hyman's year last year was an outlier and there are other players who can replace him. Carrick will never play under babcock. Hainsey is an awful defenceman.

The cap is estimated to go up 5% each year so the best guess is next year's cap is 83.475 which is just about 400k off which would just mean replacing two entry level players with players on leave minimum contracts

Nash is on a one year deal which the team can afford this year, hyman is very replaceable, produced more than he should have last year and will be a ufa soon. De Haan is a legitimate top 4 defenseman and will be the second best on the team. Demelo is also a top 4 defenseman, probably a 4 exactly and just because he is on the top pair doesn't mean im saying hes a top 2, the pairings should be spread out. None of these are huge moves, but they a re smart moves that should make this team the undisputed cup favourites. There is also more than enough room to sign the three young forwards if this happens, if you want I can show you.
