Thread: Nylander for Panarin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Don’t see how Panarin helps leafs current contract situation</div></div>

there is no problem cap wise with the signing nylander or just having panarin for this year. panarin is going to be a ufa next summer where he is a leaf or blue jacket. with the trade the leafs just get some cap space and the picks for nylander longer term. the nylander contract signing or non signing is not a question on whether the leafs have cap room, it a question of what is fair contract. obviously the two parties have a different definition of fair. seems to be a consensus on capfriendly that the leafs can't afford to sign nylander. nonsense. nylander is can't be traded either until other teams know what he going to demand in salary. Columbus for example has two expensive rfas signings soon werenski and dubois. they don't be have an overpaid rfa on the team when their own star players are up for contract.

Thread: Best Attempt at Fitting in Carlson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>1) Terrible terrible return for Gruabuer, a young starter, and Bura, a young top 6 return. Each should be getting a 1st.

2) Don't know why people don't get this: there's plenty of room for Carlson to resign without sending people out. And if you do, buy out Orpik, don't send off 2 young studs.</div></div>

I don't know about having "plenty" of room for Carlson. Say the cap goes up to $79M, that's still only $12-15M of space right now. If you do re-sign Carlson, I would think all of your signings would take $15-$20M.

Players to re-sign:
Carlson - $7M+
Wilson - $3M+
Grubauer - $3M+
Beagle - $2M
Smith-Pelly, Bowey, Kempny - avg. $1.5M each

I don't think Burakovsky should be moved. I would move Grubauer with Orpik because Holtby is locking down his value in the playoffs right now, and you still have Samsonov. If you move Grubauer with Orpik, you're freeing up $8-9M of cap space. And Grubauer played well enough in the regular season to get some extra value coming back (on top of the Orpik cap dump).
