Florida trade is a cap dump, plus they could use Kerfoot and La needs the help now not 5 years down the line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>What on earth is that Florida trade?

Also, you’re overpaying Foligno, Bogosian, Galchenyuk, and Simmonds, and underpaying Hyman. Also Spezza is going to take league minimum again if he wants to return.</div></div>

Foligno was making 5.5 last year and is still a very good player but was playing through a injury. Not overpaying for bogo simmonds or galc because we’re getting 2 year term with them. And spezza was one of our best players so it’s just out of respect and fairness to pay him at least 1 mill for 2 years as well. Also hyman isn’t going to get much more in a flat cap era.

Thread: relying on campbell

Why would Toronto do this? Toronto would be dumb to trade jumbo when he is making league minimum and playing some of the best hockey he’s played in years. Also why would they give up Hyman when he’s been playing solid and is a really good role player/grinder for the amount he makes.

Honestly I was just trying to dump him I wasn’t really sure what teams could use another goalie. I had mentioned the trades needed a little tweaking but I’m sure another team would pay the same price for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarquesMen</b></div><div>I like the idea of radek faksa. He doesn't have much offensive upside but he's super reliable defensively and he'd be great on the pk. I think if we move Johnsson, Kerfoot, and kapanen for cheaper options, there's definitely room for improvement. There's tons of cheap options that could help on the backend. We also have liljegren we could use as a package deal to bring in a bigger d man for immediate help.</div></div>

I agree with everything you said beside trading Johnsson. Before he got injured he was showing a lot of upside and believe is also a pretty cheap top 6F. I think we should for sure trade Kerfoot and Kapanen. Both of them are good players but I don’t really think they performed to be paid as much as they’re getting. Toronto put themselves in a really tough spot this year with no money or picks to give up.

I’m not really that educated when it comes to how those contracts work, but isn’t that how they were able to pay for marner’s horrendous contract? Because they definitely didn’t have enough money for him when they were paying him up until they accquired David Clarkson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarquesMen</b></div><div>I agree he's a steal for his cap hit but I wouldn't feel comfortable going into the playoffs as a 3C. He's a great seasoned vet but he's declining, he's nothing like he was in his prime. What happens if Matthews or Tavares gets hurt, you're comfortable with him moving into 2C? Who's gonna be your third and fourth line centres in the playoffs if that happens?</div></div>

I completely agree! You make a valid point, I just don’t see any other way around their current cap situation without trading one of their core 4. If they trade one of them they could definitely get a upgrade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>LTIR does not give you cap space</div></div>

If their team is at the cap ceiling those LTIR contracts give you those additional funds. So for example if we get Kesler and Zetterberg that would give us an additional 12.9 mill to use.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarquesMen</b></div><div>You really think a cup contending team is going to have spezza as their 3rd line centre?...</div></div>

Spezza wasn’t a eye catching forward for them this year, but I believe he has potential considering he is a seasoned veteran and was decent in his prime. Given more playing time and a slight change in line mates, I think he could be a huge asset to the team. I also kept him in the lineup with consideration of a flat cap next season and his low cap hit which in my opinion is a steal for what he is paid.

Thread: Best Toronto Maple Leafs Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>So what exactly is your plan for being cap compliant when Georgiev, Pietrangelo, Montour, Mikheyev all ask for raises, then Muzzin and Campbell's raises kick in. Furthermore, what is your plan for functioning with a 21/23 man roster?</div></div>

The answer to this is in acquiring LTIR contracts, just like they did this previous year with David Clarkson and Nathan Hornton. Depending on how well Georgiev plays we could make him the starter and trade Anderson which would also free up 5 mill.
