Thread: 2018-19 Roster Shuffle for Balance
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juice</b></div><div>Not picking on you with this comment...but can someone please explain to me the allure of Chris Tanev? I just don't get it.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>There isn't any. Most Leaf fans think he's the "final piece" for a cup.. he really isn't.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I don't think most Leafs fans think he's the final piece, but certainly most Vancouver fans think he's the piece the Leafs need. 90% no 95% of the Tanev trades are to the Leafs. It's like Tanev has no value to any other team.
Yea, I don't see his value either, well at least the never ending fanatical value.</div></div>

The value here was his experience playing with Reilly last year in the World Championships. The pairing brought the best out of the each and would fix that spot on the Leafs current roster. Shifting Hainsey to where he should be on one of the bottom 2 pairings instead of being stretched to a top 2D. He also figures to fit in the cap as he wont take much to resign. Were not getting a number 1 and fitting them without getting rid of one of either Nylander or Marner.

Thread: 3 smaller TDL moves to upgrade the lineup (CBJ,ARZ,CAR)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>whose the b-level prospect? last i checked Timashov isn't even a point per game player in the american league. and carrick is not useful to any team, besides depth. do u know what hjalmarsson does and whats his value? if arizona makes him available, teams will start lining up to get him, and he'll go for a much higher price then the crap u offered. coyotes are better off keeping him then adding a fringe ahler and a depth defenseman</div></div>

Do you know what a B level prospect is? Timashov is only 21 with a 0.5 ppg total in the A. You know what players who post 1.0 PPG seasons in the AHL are? NHL ready players. As for Carrick he can easily be a top 6 RHD, who can put up 15-20 points a year on many teams if given the chance. If Babcock didn't have such a thing for Polak he'd be having a great year. Hjalmersson on the other hand is an upgrade over Carrick and Polak for sure but cost 4x as much and is much older. Carrick Offensively is better but Hjalmersson even on his opposite side is a much better defensive upgrade and exactly what the leafs need, to go along with his playoff/cup winning experience. This saves Arizona money and could be a great fit for the leafs who could take the entire cost of Hjalmersson off their hands.

Thread: Deadline Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>ZachaAmel

Your trade for Gudbrunson is a terrible trade for the Leafs as it actually weakens the team to pick him up. Carrick by himself is a way superior right handed defenceman to Gudbrunson and to give up a 2nd round pick in a deep draft with Mark Hunter making the picks is insane. His skating is way too slow for today's NHL and is really a 7th defenceman if one is being totally objective and the Canucks are going to have to give him away at the trade deadline to find a taker for his ove-inflated salary demands.</div></div>

Yeah I don't see the point of Gudbranson coming if Carrick goes back. Something like a Marlies LHD like Neilsen, Soshnikov, and Polak should get this done and maybe a late pick. He should be treated like an upgrade over Polak and that's it. Id also take an even lower pick to get rid of Martin.

Thread: Grabner and Cammalleri Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>danzhock10</b></div><div>As a Ranger fan, I would take the Grabner deal. In the upcoming drafts, the depth from first to third rounds is remarkable. Plenty of solid players within reach throughout.

Your Cammalleri deal would be better served, by trading for either Derek Ryan or Josh Jooris in Carolina. For one thing, won't cost more than a late round draft pick; for another, are considerably less expensive than Camm. Both have been playing center, and are excellent on faceoffs 5-on-5 and on the PK.

Great guess with Grabner, though. And, Leivo is the kind of fourth-line forward the Rangers are missing. Gritty, big and wants the ice-time.</div></div>

I would do both of these trades except id only be willing to do Leivo and our extra second this year. That should get a deal done. I also agree with danzhock10 in regards to getting Derek Ryan instead. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he cost more then cam but we could easily the third that already in the trade and possibly Soshnikov but id suspect a depth pick coming back to the Leafs as well.

Thread: Bad contract swap with CGY and Hanifin!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>I don't like the Brouwer deal only because of his term. I do like the Hanifin deal in principle. However, Blues should hold on to Husso. Blues have goaltending issues as it is now. And I would even trade Thompson over Kyrou.</div></div>

Yeah the Brouwer deal makes no sense since you can just simply buyout Bouwmeester and save 3.6 millions next year and only have a cap hit of 1.8 mill over the next two seasons. Much better then keeping that Browuer deal. Also believe the Leafs may take his services off your hands but he'd have to waive, but I believe a Bouwmeester/Parayko trade could be done for Gardiner/Marner Deal. Blues rid themselves of a bad contract and get a top 6 forward with loads of potential. Leafs get young big RHD top 4 D they covet and experience on the Blueline for a cup run the next two years but can handle the cap before the Matthews contract comes up.

Thread: 3-Team Deal with Minnesota/Arizona
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>That is a horrible deal for the Leafs. Marner is worth more than that whole package, and then throwing Gardiner on top is a massive loss for Toronto.</div></div>

Dumba alone is close to worth Marner. Hes a potential Top 2 RHD who has more goals then Marner from the back end already this season and is only a few years older. We could not afford Gardiner with Dumba's next extension along with the big boys, so he nets us Centre depth in a former first rounder in Kunin. This eliminates two weaknesses (RHD, and C) by trading from our strengths (LHD and RW) and allows for a clearer cap picture moving forward while creating space for more youth to move up such as Kapenen/Dermott. I believe Arizona gets the best player, but I think the Leafs get better now and long-term as a team. Have to give something to of worth to get what you want.

Thread: The Next-Step Trade - Draft 2018
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Stored in the minors? Still costs against cap. Salary minus 1m. Performance bonuses, this year and next year has been accounted for in the cap. Horton's salary has been counted in the cap in 2018/19 I f no performance bonuses are to be carried over into 2019/20</div></div>

Trade edited to take away from potential issue with Ennis. Also addresses depth at the center position in a cost effective way instead of signing Bozak. I've done the math even with my resigning numbers we are under the probable 80 mill cap ceiling for next year let alone what it grows to the following year. That is with the large Matthews contract as well numbers are as follows

Matthews - 12 mil
Nylander - 7 mil
Marleau 6.25 mil
Dumba - 6 mil
JVR - 6 mil
Kadri - 5 mil
Reilly 5 mil
Anderson - 5 mil
Zaitsev - 4.5 mil
Hainsey - 3 mil
Martin - 2.5 mil
Sheahan 2.5 mil
Kapanen - 2.5 mil (2019/20 bridge deal if he establishes top 9 role)
Hyman - 2.25 mil
Brown - 2.1 mil
Carrick - 2.0 mil
Borgman - 2.0 mil (2019/20)
Gauthier 1.5 mil
Leivo 1.5 mil (2019/20)
Back-Up of Choice - 1.0 mil
Dermott - 0.9 mil
Kunin - 0.9 mil
any depth player 0.9 mil

Ends up with a cap hit around 76-77 million bonuses not included and with Martin still in the line-up which we should be able to get rid of and the ability to get use Horton on the LTIR.

It can work.

Thread: The Next-Step Trade - Draft 2018
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Why would the Leafs trade the potential of Marner for Dumba and a take on the buyout money of Ennis?
And those resigning of JVR, Bozak and others don't work in cap. league.</div></div>

Dumba is 23 year old right handed defenseman with about the same potential as Marner in his own position. A right hand shot D is also a big need for this club, especially one of his calibre. Marner is expendable for cap reasons that you brought up and the Leafs stock more draft picks in the cupboard for a deep draft class this year. If you also look at the math, and all the cap we can get rid of those contracts work. Komorov, Polak, Marincin, and Fehr gone this year as well as Gardiners 4 million through the trade. That frees up the extensions this offseason, and yes we would be tight when Matthews extension kicks in, but it can be done. Do the Math and the look of Balance of this team compared to current. The loss of Marner would be hard to swallow especially cause he's a Toronto boy but wee have plenty of skill upfront. In terms of Ennis, he could stay as a 3rd line player that would replace Marner short term, or stored in the minors just in time for his contract to expire, and eliminate the need of the buyout.
