Thread: Leafs Next Year Includes 22 TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Oh boy. Lots to dig into here.
1. If Sandin is good, why is he signing for so little with such term? Why not go one or two years?
2. Why is Dallas giving up hakanpaa, and retaining salary for multiple years to get dermott?
3. Don’t know what the heck that arizona thing is.
4. Why is seattle paying for all of Toronto’s trash?
5. We keep hearing about how Campbell should be in the vezina conversation. Why is he signing that?
6. Why is edmonton, or anyone for that matter doing toronto a favor by taking on mrazek?</div></div>

1. It's essentially a bridge deal. He hasn't shown that he is worth above $2M, but you can sign this deal for 2 years if you want.
2. Hakanpaa is does not give much offensively, but he is decent defensively. He is worth just more than a third. Dermott is worth about a third, and he can either be flipped or DAL can see if he is a good fit.
3. Pretty much just assets that could be used at the '22 TDL, nothing special.
4. Ritchie is really the only trash there. Kerfoot is worth more than a second at this point in time, and Holl is probably worth a late 3rd-early 4th. Holl would automatically become a shutdown man for them, he might just need a change of scenery, but he has been noticeably better in 2022.
5. Campbell should not be in the vezina conversation. Markstrom just got 6x6 contract and he is better, yesterday was evident of that. As much as I like him, I think he is overrated and now that he is getting less protection than before, it is showing.
6. Mrazek has been getting calls. And the value for a goalie with term at a somewhat cheap price is through the roof, the only issue with Mrazek is his health. If had not gotten injured at the start of the year, he would be worth a second most likely. Edmonton does not have enough money to sign a guy like Kuemper, Fleury probably doesn't want to sign there, and Edmonton should be willing to give that up for a decent starter.

Thread: Imagine lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>What do you think he's going to make? He won't make more than 5, he's not got the leverage. He's a renowned problem in locker rooms. What's he going to do? He's also team controlled, as an RFA. He can't walk away.

Carolina aren/t moving their PPG D man (who would lead Toronto's defenseman in production in far fewer GP) anyway. But he'd instantly be the biggest offensive threat from the blueline Toronto have.</div></div>

Look at Edmonton, they have too much offense in their defense core and they are being screwed over. While he would be a fun player to have, he is not good enough of a fit for the Leafs to get rid of a guy like Sandin. Sandin is younger, hasn't hit his prime yet, cheaper, and has chemistry with the best players on this team. There is no reason to ruin that unless it is for a guy like Chychrun.

Thread: If the Leafs Really Do Go for Chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>Quality &gt; quantity

Any Chychrun deal for Toronto starts with Sandin, no questions asked.

It's likely;

Sandin
Robertson
2022 1st round pick
2023 3rd round pick


But when it's all said and done it won't be Toronto getting him. Not for lack of value going to Arizona, but for lack of fit in Toronto. Rielly and Sandin are the long term options at LD in the top 4 for them and neither them or Chychrun play the right side and none are spectacular defensively to be a shutdown pair so one would be under utilized.

Just doesn't make any sense for Toronto to make a deal with Arizona for Chychrun.</div></div>

Yeah I definitely agree. I only made this because of recent reports that Dubas was checking in on him. But even though there are a lot of prospects in this trade, they are all pretty relevant. I thought about adding Knies, but I went with what I thought Dubas would do.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rookescr96</b></div><div>Crazy how only trading Ritchie, Mrazek, and Kerfoot, signing Jack to a reasonable deal, signing one UFA for 1.5 mill, and another for 2.5 mill uses all of Toronto's available cap space

Not sure there is anything else they can do</div></div>

Technically Evander Kane is available for a relatively cheap price, I just wonder what his market would look like. Hopefully Keefe makes Cobra feel like he's getting opportunities and he stays because that 3rd line would be lethal. Even if Robertson is more of a 4th line/13th fwd, Engvall is capable, Mikheyev can play top 6 minutes with Bunting going to the top line. Aston-Reese can hold his own in the bottom 6 and would be a solid option.

However, we just need to guarantee Campbell, Kase, Liljegrin and Sandin stays and we fill the rest of the holes.
