Thread: Cap Hits from Evolving Hockey
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Texas416_er</b></div><div>To act like a reasonable person in comments, which is hard to do for many on this site, I would say that the free agent signings are strong except the goalie gamble. If Woll isn't healthy, and he has never been healthy for long as a Leaf, then Lank is a big step down, maybe even from Martin Jones.
My main concern is trading Marner for Clayton Keller to be a third liner. He is expensive for a 30 goal scorer, and means far less Marner cap relief that might be spent on Brossoit or Stolarz as tandem partner with Woll.</div></div>

Keller wouldnt actually be a third liner, same way Willy was on the third line. Spread out the attack, load up sometimes 5 on 5 and all top guys get PP1. As far as goaltending I’m thinking could go with a cheaper D instead of zadorov and put money on the goalies u mentioned. I rlly like woll but see the doubt

Thread: Blah
<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)
