Thread: Does this work for TOR
=<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>So...Toronto DOESN'T want to get rid of Mrazek and DOESN'T want $5M in cap space? Huh...
When they get rid of Marleau it cost them a 1st rounder. It also cost them a 2nd for Ritchie. Interesting.</div></div>

Marleau was a $6.25 million buyout, given that he did not want to play for Carolina.

The Ritchie deal got the Leafs Lyubushkin back, a rental top-6 Dman, which in itself is probably worth a 3rd. They moved up from a 3rd to a 2nd (which would probably cost you a 4th round pick on draft night) to move Ritchie.

Before getting on to Mrazek, how is it that Holl has value and the Blackhawks could flip him for something, but the Leafs would have to pay to get rid of him?

And on Mrazek: yes he's overpaid. But, he's still a serviceable NHL goalie, playing a position that doesn't have a lot of quality available, has a reasonable buyout, and only 2 years on his contract. The Leafs may have to attach a sweetener to get rid of him, but Knies is pushing it way too far.
