<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Ok. I looked. Agree with the feedback. Dvorak is a legit top 6, and spare parts even with a 2nd doesn't get him. Dvorak = Roberston. Yotes won't take much less imo, and that is counterproducitve long term.

There is one simple fact here: to add scoring depth, one of the 4 go. My selection would be Marner as he would be 2 × $6 million deals.

But if management is bent on keeping them together, like it or lump it, there is a reality scoring depth won't be there.

The only hope is a LTIR injury that frees up cap space for the deadline.... even then, it may not work. Didn't this year.</div></div>


I made a different team where I trade marner for Dvorak and 2 second rounders and with the extra money you can add Hoffman for around 4 mil and Doug Hamilton for around 8. And yes ur right it is a lot easier to move Mariners contract than people think.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Agree to disagree on Roberston and Liligren.

Robertson's small sample size with the Marlies was good, but does smack of 100% on the starting roster. I see a guy who will benefit tremndously with a full year of top 6 minutes in the AHL, and in 21-22, flanks JT and Nylander..... and should look fantastic doing it. Just not there on his roster spot beong guarentreed.

Liligren: his development has been hampered by injuried over the last couple seasons. I like his odds of making the club, but again, no guarentee. If he is a #6, we could do worse than Bogo as a #7..... he was good this year.

As for your scoring depth comment. No kidding. Did you really think that's getting fixed without miving one of the big 4 or Reilly?

Read my description. I said risks. Gusev is a risk. Staal (who I frankly think matches Kerfoot's production here) is a risk. Crouse has offensive upside that won't be realized in Arizona (think around 35 points), but that is a risk.

Keeping the big 4 100% means coming back withbthe same team and expecting a different result. Kinda why I titled it "Blah"..... and concluded with an "I don't like it".🤦‍♂️</div></div>

To fix scoring they will most likely look to add a top 6 scorer by trade. Check the team I made titled “trading for Dvorak” (the trade I made for him was meh, pretend I put in a second rounder to get him as well)

Thread: Marner and holl for guentzel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Just like the leafs, and every other team, the Pens are strapped with this flat cap.

They probably won’t be able to sign all their RFA and UFA(that should be signed) unless they move a contract.


The Pens don’t make a trade unless it gives them cap relief. That’s just realistic.

And in my opinion, Marner is not 5M a year better than Guentzel. Guentzel has a 40 goal season. Plays tougher, just look at the hits(which both the pens and the leafs need).

Marner is gonna be tough to move with this flat cap.

Unless the leafs take a loss and just take the cap relief. Every team is so strapped. Look at every ACGM trade post. Every teams fans are like, no way, we can’t afford it..lol.</div></div>

Ya I mean I don’t think anyone is expecting this trade to happen, the flat cap is impossible to work around. But Mariners contract is a lot more moveable than people think. Any teams who r no where near the cap limit actually only have to pay him 24 mil in real dollars over the next 4 years (6 mil a year). So while his contract won’t be sent to a contender with cap problems, it is still very moveable
