Thread: Low cap cost players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BestGMBenning</b></div><div>It’s pretty terrible seeing the draft capital for the coming years. They still however need to figure something out. Duclair is supposed to be coming back later in the season. And then their cap is screwed again</div></div>

If they are healthy, Duclair comes back and then they run a 22 man roster. Looks like it would work to me. But player bonuses may mess them up. I assume the potential bonuses are on Lundell.

I looked - most of the potential player bonuses are on Spencer Knight actually but 850k or so are on Lundell. Not sure what the performance markers are though.

Thread: Low cap cost players

This could be the solution. Ottawa considers it for sure. Nice work :)

But holy no 1st or 2nd round draft picks for 3 years.... DAMN!

Thread: Debrincat Comps

I feel like 8 x 8 would have been fair for Barzal. 9 x 8 for Debrincat would be good for both sides. (the contract you listed would absolutely be fair as well).

holy over pay. Wouldn't cost that much. Montreal has no room for Kerfoot either.

Benn's fall from grace has been epic. Buffalo does not do this, unless Skinner goes the other way. Even still.

Thread: Toronto Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Leafs might have to move Kerfoot for cap reasons, for very little return, though Leafs might need Kerfoot at centre with Tavares out for few weeks. But the exchange of the picks may be too much for the Leafs to swallow
Kerfoot and Holl for Mayfield....now that could be a deal. Good thought on the trade though.</div></div>

Ya I don't love the idea of moving Kerfoot. I can tell Leafs management don't love the idea either. But it might need to be what happens!

Thread: After Roster Cuts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Isn't that the plan?</div></div>

100% and they are doing a great job. They will get a nice haul for Kane and they are betting on guys like Domi and Anthanasiou to have good years and shipped them off at the deadline for a lot. I can see Domi fetching a 1st if he plays to what he is capable of.

They could have upwards of 4-5 1st round draft picks this coming draft. I say 4 is realistic.

Thread: Leafs Fully Healthy Lines

Engvall at centre hasn't been great. He is definitely a better winger. I would put Jarnkrok in that slot, Robertson up and Engvall over.

Thread: Re-tool

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>He doesn't suck, Then why couldn't Lou get any takers for him, Reportedly GMs were wanting a 1st round pick to take him. When Lou was trying to sign Nazem Kadri.

And you haven't proven anything Wahlstrom will get more than $2,000,000 per and good luck thinkig that Seymon Varlamov is signing for only $2,500,000 per.</div></div>

there is still a ton of cap flexibility on this roster for specific contracts. It's impossible to predict a Wahlstrom contract now. Varlamov can easily get more, so we will see. But there is room on this team that I made for adjustments in that regard.

Thread: Next Year with PLD

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>A meh bottom six winger isn't an enticing piece.</div></div>

That piece isn't meant to be enticing. it is meant to make the trade work in regards to cap. The 2 first round picks are what are enticing.

Thread: Helping The Leafs Out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>How does an utterly useless player instead of a useful one help the leafs?</div></div>

Engvall not useles... He was super good last year. It is clearly shedding cap for the Leafs and thus helping them.

As a Leafs fan I don't love it. But time will tell what happens. I assume something will need to be done, unless we rock a 20 man roster, which is possible.

I would be interested in a Kerfoot for Mayfield swap though. Not a huge fan of losing Kerfoot since he is so versatile but getting Mayfield would be a nice addition to our blueline and the cap gets solved as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I thought PLD was bound for Montreal...

(Can he even speak Long Island?)</div></div>

There is a chance he goes to Montreal for sure. Probably be a package of Dvorak, 1st (top 5 protected), Mailloux, 3rd round pick. Something on those lines to get PLD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Because Bailey sucks and it would cost at least 1 of those 1st round picks just to move him, Let alone another single 1st.

They easily have 8 x 8 to resign him next year : https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3683986

Bailey doesn't suck, he is just a 4m player making 5m.

Thread: Re-tool

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Why would LA have any interest in Mark Scheifele? It's not like they don't already have Center depth.

1C Anze Kopitar.
2C Phillip Danault.
3C Quinton Byfield.

Lousy return for Pierre-Luc Dubois, Plus i doubt the NYI can afford to offer him 8x8 next summer.

Once again Blake Wheeler has a 5 team trade list, And very few players actually want to go to Edmonton.</div></div>

Scheifele would make it
1C Anze Kopitar.
2C Mark Scheifele
3C Phillip Danault.
Quinton Byfield on the wing or in a package to get Chychrun.

How is 2 x 1st lousy return for PLD? And yes New York can offer him 8 x 8 next summer.

As for Wheeler and Edmonton. I can see very few players actually turning down a chance to play in Edmonton. They are a legit cup contender. That makes a huge difference in terms of players No Trade Clauses. I don't see anyone turning down a chance to go there right now.

don't see us claiming a guy like Gauthier. We already have 6 different guys deserving of that spot. No need to demoralize any body by claiming another guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>B_seka17</b></div><div>That seems like a lot for LA</div></div>

Sheifele is over a point per game centre on a good contract for this year and next. He will cost a lot. I see him being a great addition to LA. LA could give up prospects instead of picks. They have a ton of those as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Isles would have to take that imo. He makes them a contender.</div></div>

Agreed! I can see this trade being good for both parties. Isles keep all their prospects and have the top 5 protection on both picks. Winnipeg get a solid player in Bailey and 2 first rounders to help the re-tool/re-build.

I can see Arizona wanting one of them.

Thread: What I would do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>U want to extend a 34 year old for FIVE YEARS?!?!?!?!</div></div>

That's what a guy like Kane will get. Look at Letang. Malking. Those type of guys. They get a lot of years and lower cap than they should get. Probably buy out the last 2 years or LTIR him. Kane is a generational talent. You pay a premium for that and in this case it's with extra years and not AAV.

Thread: What I would do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Two firsts, Bellows, Bolduc and Bailey should be enough. Also asking for those picks unprotected is ridiculous. Kane is 34 and expiring.</div></div>

He got extended 7m x 5 years for this trade to happen. How about top 3 protected on both picks?

Thread: 2 trades before the season starts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DefenseFirst</b></div><div>Right, so why would calgary move him?

Don’t think either team has any interest in those two moves.</div></div>

Their D corp is loaded and they have a hole in their top 9. They don't want to trade Hannifin or Weegar or Andersson or Tanev. So I chose Kylington here. They get their top 9 forward, a replacement level D and a 2nd round pick.
