<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>I’ve heard this argument a lot - doesn’t hold water imo. Moving Mitch for futures is insane - no guarantee you’ll be able to flip this futures for an impact player, and almost guaranteed not a player at Mitch’s level. Why do you think coyotes would even move Crowse? Miller’s contract is toxic and Domi / Graves aren’t moving the needle - meh</div></div>

Agreed, no guarantee. I think this move would be condition on the Leafs already having the other trades in place, a sort of one day earthquake of moves. I think Arizona would move Crouse as they get draft picks back and they are not in contention of winning and getting Muzzin allows them to stay at the same Cap number, with real $$$ savings.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc222</b></div><div>Flyers laughs and hang up at how terrible that offer is. You didn’t even pay for TK all u paid for is Nicky D and cap dumping Murray lol. Throw some actually quality players in there not just a quantity of scraps</div></div>

A bit of an exaggeration in your statement but that is par for the course on here. I would imagine, like most of us are, you are not overly aware of other teams prospects and Niemla is a decent prospect coming back.

I have reworked it here to add in Minten instead of Robertson. I can get there would be hesitation on Robertson but if Phi is rebuilding then getting Minten is a solid add with Niemla.
Keep in mind TK only has 2 years left, so there is a risk if he does not resign.

I think this trade is tripling down on core players while adding some depth scoring.

Thread: Next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lambo2565</b></div><div>1st for taking on Murray. Now what are you willing to pay for Schmaltz?</div></div>

Market was set when leafs only had to slide down a few spots to get rid of Mrazek. I figure leafs could flip their first and murray for a second.
In Arizona, he is bought out so Arizona saves $$. Plus Schmaltz AAV may be 5,850,000 but his cap hit the next three years is 7,500,000 then 8,450,000 and 8,500,000. I do not see Arizona wanting to pay that considering the lack of income coming into the team. Steeves would be a cheap depth piece for the team.

Perhaps losing the 4th would help with that but I am feeling the number of teams willing to take on contracts where salary is higher than AAV is low so TO would have some leverage.

Thread: Next Year after Meier Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>It’s tempting- that top 6 would be legit the best in league. But too many downsides imo:
1/ No way to sign everyone in 2024 so most likely Willy walks.
2/ big, really big risk in net; I like kallgrenn and Woll but would rather they were backup in 24-25 (not 23-24 - too soon)
3/ d corps is just too thin; injuries bound to happen and if they did to anyone in top 4, we’d be badly exposed
4/ bottom 6 is just too thin (we need to keep Kampf); injury to top 6 and we’d be in trouble</div></div>

1- It would be tight
2- Yes, but at some point we need to give a player a chance
3- This year we are seeing them do fine.
4- Yup, fingers crossed Knies is a contributor and Holmberg takes a step. I figure Kampf will price himself out of Toronto

The question is does the payoff of the top six make it worth it. I think the chance to add a player of Meier and add to our team is worth it.

Thread: Resign Campbell add Top 6 winger go cheap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Nichulshin probably gets 6mil, which means creates an issue, because at 6mil you probably cant have 20 skaters.

And I cant see all 3 of your RFAs taking bridge contracts, especially because theres no space in a year or 2 years for them to get paid. (Not only were liljegren and sandin unhappy with the multiple demotions to the Marlies, not only is this Engvalls big payday, but everybody (agents) have seen the last Leaf players who took team friendly bridge deals, they were dealt)

All in all, Leafs (and their fans) have got to find a way to improve the club WITHOUT proposing to underpay all of their RFAs and UFAs or trying to snag a big money UFA.</div></div>

Upped him to 5.5 and six years. Do you think that would do it?
Also upped Sandin and Liligren but I do not seem them hitting two million. Dermott never got that high on a bridge deal.
Plus in two years Muzzin and Brodie are up so there is the money to resign them if they play up to their potential.
