Brodie has never been close to being bought out.. the idea of him being a buy-out candidate was a rumor, one that has absolutely no legs to stand on at that.

He puts up elite defensive results and simply might be the odd man out of Toronto based on how Treliving may want to re-work the defence. If you ask for retention on a great top-4 defensive defenceman from a team that will be very close to the cap ceiling, it will absolutely cost a 1st round pick.

1st and a 4th with the retention would be reasonable, I could see a 2nd alone without retention included.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>Yes i can elaborate on the Vancouver trade, Nylander makes close to $7,000,000 per and Kerfoot makes $3,500,000 so that's roughly $10,500,000 going to Vancouver. J T Miller makes $5,250,000 per our roughly half of what Vancouver is taking in. Plus Vancouver is retaining $2,625,000 so that's basically has Vancouver eating $13,175,000 in cap hits. The whole reasoning of Vancouver dealing J T Miller is to open up cap space for other players to be signed or sign UFA. They way you have it puts Vancouver in a worse spot.

As far as Vincent Trocheck of seen Cane fans saying that he wants between $6,500,000 to $7,000,000 per long term. But $6,000,000 x 5-6 years should be a fair offer for him. He will have tons of suitors for a team looking at a long term 2C.</div></div>

Canes fans probably have a good idea on what Trocheck's apparent value is. Not sure what teams are in the market for 2C, Colorado comes to mind to replace Kadri. Just wanted to look for a top-6 forward who put up good hit numbers, and isn't a liability on the back end. Trocheck seems to fit that bill really well.

As for Vancouver, I can understand the cap discrepancy. But, I think its worth noting that the only significant player that needs to be re-signed is Boeser. Luongo cap penalty is off the books after this season, clears up another 3M+ for Vancouver. Anyone looking to trade for Miller will be playoff teams imo, so what would be worth more to Vancouver - a few later 1st round picks, maybe a solid prospect or two.. or proven talent signed for 2 more seasons? Maybe remove Kerfoot in exchange for a pick, a 1st or 2nd. Unfortunately to get Miller on the Leafs with this roster they'd need retention. Thanks for being respectful :)

I debated sending Kerfoot Carolina's way for a Trocheck sign+trade. Seems like a decent fit there, would also offload Kerfoot's cap hit and allow the Leafs to get a jump on negotiations.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I think a team might give him chance to be a backup, but he's had a pretty long injury history and he's been consistently inconsistent for about 5 years now AND all of those years on cup contending teams. CAR has an amazing defense...TOR has a really good defense. CHI/AZ on the other hand do not. Dubas has worked magic before so I don't want to underestimate him. He was able to swap out Ritchie for a useful Dman and all he needed to give up was a second, but this is multiple years of a worse contract and still not even a 2nd.</div></div>

The inconsistency is a good point. I see CHI/AZ/WSH as the teams looking for goalie options. Not sure who else around the league is looking to take chances on their goaltending like those teams. Agree AZ unlikely to pursue due to their team situation lol. Hopefully it doesn't take a 1st to move Mrazek like it did with Marleau.. Leafs need that cap hit gone to make moves :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>Flames don't need a 2 mill bottom pairing dman with the cap troubles coming up</div></div>

Fair enough. Tried to find a team that would need defense in the upcoming season, but I can see how Flames re-signing Tkachuk, Mangiapane and Gaudreau would push them away from acquiring Holl. Would be interested to hear what other teams are in need of defenseman for the upcoming season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>No team is taking on Mrazek for a 3rd round pick. The closest comp to Mrazek that exists if Brett Connolly with the exceptions being... Mrazek's cap hit is slightly higher, his salary goes up vs stagnant, and you can't hide a goalie on the 4th line like you can a forward.

AZ can't take on Mrazeks rising salary. They don't make money in good times and now they're about to go to an arena with 6k seats. It's actually one of the reasons they're rumored to give up a pick for Weber. Weber's big cap hit and insurance paying most of his reduced salary is a big deal for them.</div></div>

To be fair, Mrazek had an incredibly tough year between injuries, bad runs and the stoppage in Jan. I don't believe an acquiring team would simply look to bury his contract. IMO he can bounce back. Change the 3rd to a 2nd if that's what gets it done.
