Sorry Leafs fans, I say this as someone who calls the Leafs his “second” team… they didn’t get any better. Dubas was not the problem. The ownership group is where it all starts and they suck at making decisions.

Trade idea with Toronto
How does this make any sense for the Leafs? With taking Dvorak and no other pieces moving or retention, they have $14,755,333 left next season to fill 5 roster spots which includes re-signing Liljegren and Robertson. They have all kinds of cap space to work with, dont need retention, and don't need to dump Kampf ... so what are they paying for here? You are just moving meh pieces and trying to turn them into a first from a team by providing services they have no need of to disguise the fact you aren't moving anything close to a 1sts worth of value in return.

You asked for the basis for my reasoning. My reply was and is that I have no reason yet to believe that Minten can play in the AHL, let alone the NHL, whereas I have a factual basis for believing that Gaucher can do both. I'm sorry if that is insufficient for you.

I was so nervous about what a Benoit extension would look like, in fact I was convinced it would be over 1.5m and was ready to move on. 3 years at 1.35m is an absolute slam dunk and I couldn't not be happier to have him around for another 3 years. Absolutely fantastic signing by Tre

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Spending lots of money can make you the best team as you can go get every big FA out there again your missing the point
The hard cap is a necessary evil to keep things balanced</div></div>
No, you're missing the point. Did you read the part where I said that the soft cap would only exceed the hard cap by something like 7 - 10 million? We aren't talking about a Golden State Warriors level of overage, we are talking about an certain amount of additional cap space teams can dip into if they pay the extra taxes.
And again, spending a lot on the biggest free agents doesn't make you the best team for a few reasons:
1. Even with a soft cap, there is still an upper limit. You cant just throw out money and term without second thought because you still need to be able to get under that threshold. We aren't talking about abolishing a salary cap, we are talking about implementing a <strong>soft salary cap</strong>
2. There will be multiple teams in on big name targets, and not every athlete goes where they are offered the most money. To assume that every big name FA will just collectively agree to go to a place is just dumb. If your logic was right, then Tavares would be a Shark
3. SPENDING LOTS DOES NOT EQUAL BEING GOOD. I could build a Leafs team that goes ~15 mil over the salary cap using this upcoming batch of Free Agents and they still wouldn't be the best roster on paper. Again, it's all about being smart. Look at the MLB where there is no limit on spending. The highest spenders in 2023 were the Mets, the Yankees, and the Padres. Guess how many of them made the playoffs? Well if you guessed zero, then you're right. The two teams that made the WS were 21st and 9th in league spending. The difference between hockey and these other sports is that when teams like Vegas and Tampa win the Cup, it's due in part to the fact that they were able to surpass the cap ceiling because of injuries, something their opponents were not able to do. They used that extra money wisely. If every team in the league is afforded the opportunity to do that, then it becomes much more fair.
You've yet to give me one good reason why exactly a hard cap is a so-called "necessary evil".

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>In general and I hate doing it to them over and over for TBL it makes sense why there is a hard cap
Look at the players they have lost
Coleman
Goodorw
Killorn
Palat
McDonagh
Savard
Rutta
etc
If NHL had no hard cap those guys would still be there rn and we would have a juggernaut
Hagel-Point-Kucherov
Killorn-Cirelli-Stamkos
Palat-Paul-Coleman
Jeannot-Goodrow-Duclair
Hedman-Rutta
McDonagh-Cernak
Sergechev-Savard</div></div>
And every other team who lost players for cap reasons would ALSO have their players... Duclair wouldnt be there because Florida wouldve had no reason to trade him to San Jose. This kind of argument applies to every team, it's such a lame way of trying to discredit a soft cap system. The Leafs would've probably still had Hyman and Kadri. Panarin wouldn't have been traded from Chicago to Columbus. I could go on forever.
There are 32 teams in the league who want to win a Stanley Cup. There are 32 teams in the league backed by huge corporations with piles of money. This isn't basketball where you go out and sign LeBron and hope for the best. You need to put together a group of ~20 guys who fill certain roles and play well together. Even if you could hypothetically convince the 20 best players in the world to all sign with the Leafs, what's to say they win the Cup? It's all about balance and playing a system. Look at the San Jose Sharks when they had Pavelski, Karlsson, Thornton, Marleau, prime Jones, Burns, Vlasic, Couture, Hertl, etc. Did they ever win a Cup?
Spending a lot of money does not equate to being the best team; spending money smartly does. Introducing a soft cap so that ALL teams could go over the limit if they need to would make it a level playing field. No more using injuries as an opportunity to use LTIR space. No more ungodly salary dumps. And again, we aren't talking about some huge increase in cap space here, probably an additional 7 - 10 million. It's not like introducing a soft cap means the Leafs can go out and sign McDavid and Draisaitl without batting an eye. Its simply a way of letting teams flesh out their rosters with extra cap space if they please. My whole thing is that teams like Tampa are able to build juggernauts because of an opportunity only afforded to them because of an injury. You can't blame Tampa for spending because they are without a good player after all, but in the end this team is still able to have 18m dollars worth of extra talent on their team because someone got injured. It's a ridiculous way of going about things.

Trade Deadline Winners And Losers:
Winners:
Vegas - Traded for everyone lol,
Carolina - Got best player available without giving up premium assets, got a reclamtion project in Kuzy who might revive his career
Colorado - Solified their top 6 with Mitts, and added a solid defenseman in Walker, who plays their style and is probably a better fit than Byram for their playoff run for this year.
Philly - Stuck to the rebuild plan sold high on Walker and added another first. Gurianov was a sneaky add, fast and huge, could be a nice little project for Torts. EJ is a Vet, Flyers needed bodies on D with Seeler, Drysdale, Ristolainen injured. York being banged up and Walker traded. EJ is a body with a lot of experience should be a good fit for the room.
San Jose - They stuck to their rebuild, When Grier got there that team needed a tear down with the lack of prospects/picks, current depth, and age of the stars. And Grier has done that. This was the most amount of value he was gonna ever get for Hertl who wouldn't have played in a meaningful game with San Jose again anyway. He got 2 firsts, They have a good chance at Celebrini, a ton of cap space now. Also got good value on Duclair.
Losers:
Leafs - Didn't aim high enough, waste of a deadline. Another year wasted of Matthews and Marners career
Vancouver - Didn't do anything, Lindholm ehh. Lost out on Guentzel
Rags - Acuired mid players paid high prices
Calgary - Lost every trade 60-40
Dallas - Didn't do enough, still have Hakapaa and Suter on their top 6 d
Boston - Overpaid for Peeke who doesn't even play full time for CBJ, Ullmark deal fell through.

I know you can't win every game, but Im starting to feel like we just cannot beat the Bruins. They are the antithesis of the Leafs. They execute a very dangerous offensive system perfectly, have a bruting and defensively sound blue line, and two of the best goalies in the league. The Leafs are none of those things and it shows. Games like tonight should serve as excellent reminders that this team is a long way off from competing, and we really shouldn't buy a ton at the TDL. Maybe a move or two for guys that help now and later.
I dont want to make too much of a knee jerk reaction, but this game put all of our issues out on display.
