Thread: TML 20-21
Found this that uses a prediction model on the Dermott &amp; Mikheyev contracts. <a href="https://editorinleaf.com/2020/03/23/toronto-maple-leafs-contract-projections/2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://editorinleaf.com/2020/03/23/toronto-maple-leafs-contract-projections/2/</a>
you might be light by $300k on Dermott for 2 years and $200k on Soup, but you have the cap space so all good. Leafs might be able to resign Cliffordat $1m, but probably have to give him an 3 year deal to do so. Would assume he can get $1.2m+/2 years somewhere. But your analysis is pretty sound. Move Johnsson for picks as left side is the strongest. If you want to upgrade the D, then you start having to move Kerfoot and Kapanen to shuffle the forward deck/fill the holes they create at 3C and 3RW. Unless Barbanov is an actual 3RW and not a 4+.

Thread: YOU SHALL NOT PASS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Britishbulldog</b></div><div>The kicker with the Leafs is that Dubas has committed to the 'Big 4', 2 $5 MIL+ dmen and a half decent goalie tandem worth just under $7 MIL.

That leaves the roster with 3 spots worth around $3.5 each for either forwards or dmen with the rest of the roster filled out with league minimum or ELCs. Right now the Leafs have Johnsson, Kerfoot and Kapanen all in that range. Most like Kapanen's right hand shot, speed and scrappy-ness so normally it is Johnsson and Kerfoot who get moved even though each have decent skill, toughness and contracts.</div></div>

One of the $3.xx contracts has to go to be cap compliant. And if they want to upgrade at D, it likely means all 3 have to go because if you use Kapanen to get the D you need, you need to use Kerfoot to get the RW to replace him, and then you ave to try to find a 3C to replace with Johnsson. Dermott would have to be a trade chip (most value/as much as Kap) in the D upgrade scenario as well.

Thread: From Bad Contracts to RFA Talent
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>backpacker10</b></div><div>I'll be really interested to see how TB manages Cirelli and Sergachev in the offseason. Both key pieces to their future, but they are so far against the cap. I can see them trying to ship Gourde, Johnson and/or Killorn to open up cash to resign those two players, but am hopeful that a team (preferably Ottawa) finds a way to get in on the bidding for their services. With comparisons to Bergeron, Cirelli really intrigues me and he'd be a perfect fit in Ottawa.</div></div>

Some creative work here. I was looking at all of the contracts TBay would need to move and holey Geebus those NTC and NMC's are going to cause some pain. But Yzerman was the wonder GM :) He "bolted" just in time...
