<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Your plan definitely is good, but I would tweak a few things. I too believe Muzzin, Mrazek, and Ritchie need to go. I would try my best to trade them. You would have just south of 12 million. (11,925,000M). According to many users, and Betman himself, he has claimed a while back that the cap is supposed to go up by one million. If Sandin can play on that second pair, you guys should be fine with your resigns. So you would have (12,925,000M) in cap if it’s true and the cap goes up. With that money, you guys should be able to get most of your resigns done. If you can’t resign Campbell, depending on how much he wants, there is also cheap options out there (Vanecek 3M, Allen 2.875M, Georgiev 2M, etc). Vanecek, and Georgiev’s contracts are guesses as I don’t know what they would get… the exact amount. They can still be competitive if they play their cards right. Especially if they get rid of Holl and get an upgrade for the top 4. I think unless Campbell wants under 4M, you are screwed with signing him, but there are plenty other guys just in case!</div></div>

Yeah, I agree with most of that. Campbell seems like the type to take the hometown price after his lengthy career trajectory in finding a fit. Sandin should be a lock for 2LD next year, worst case it would be a deadline replacement there imo. I think 5m should be the middle ground target for both Leafs and Campbell, especially as you expect his numbers to regress a tad towards the end of the year (as seen in his last few games). The risk on a 30 Y/O is normally pretty significant so obviously, there's a number that their situation dictates that unfortunately, you'd have to say bye at (Like in the case of Hyman heading over there)

The outlook was more for this season, while for the next, hopefully some of Knies/Amirov/Steeves/hosang being able to fill roles next year for Mik/Kerfoot/ritchie while Sandin + Woll/Kallgren take over rolls for Muzzin/Mrazek

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>The thing is the whole reason we'd trade Dumba, Brodin, and Zucker in the first place is because we already have too many D and too many wingers. We currently have five top 4 D with Suter, Spurgeon, Brodin, Dumba, and Soucy so that's why there are all of these Brodin/Dumba rumors. Those two in particular probably have the most trade value of any of our players, which adds fuel to the rumor mill. Trading one of them for younger D doesn't make much sense since we would still have four top 4 D and we have a few promising D prospects budding in Iowa (RD in particular, but Soucy would replace whoever we trade as he can play both sides very well on the 2nd pairing). We also currently have Zucker, Zuccarello, Parise, and Fiala as our top 6 wingers but we will need a spot for Kaprizov next year, so one of them will likely be moved. Parise and Zuccarello likely have negative value in a trade and Fiala is our most skilled forward, so that basically leaves Zucker as the odd man out. Replacing him with a Kapanen or Johnsson doesn't solve any issues, we'd still need a spot for the best winger outside of the NHL next year if we targeted Kapanen/Johnsson in a Toronto trade.

The Wild's #1 bolded and underlined need is talented center prospects/young centers. Any trade we make should target a young center (not saying we'd get any of these guys but examples would include Suzuki, Krebs, Heponiemi, Texier, etc.). Toronto doesn't have any prospects like that and the one player they have that fits that bill (Matthews) would get Dubas fired if he traded (and rightfully so unless it's for like McDavid). long story short, I don't see a fit between Toronto and the Wild as trade partners. The Wild have a lot of enticing pieces for Toronto, but Toronto has nothing that would fill our needs.</div></div>

Absolutely fair, I am a big fan of Kaprizov as well. I do think the team should be looking at getting younger though over positional needs and making other moves to boot. In a vacuum this may not make sense but with surrounding deals it could. Kerfoot could be had instead of Johnsson if they are looking more for a C.

Leafs arguably already have 4 capable top 4 dman as well. IMO you can't have too many good players in a position. (IE: Leafs with Mitch willy Kap on RW)
