Thread: Cap relief
Habs aren’t looking to rid themselves of draft capital, nor are they in a real cap crunch with Monahan and Byron starting the year on IR, and Price expected to be on LTIR for the year. They’d rather be looking to acquire as much draft capital as possible. They do have some bad contracts however, that diminishes some of their player values - Hoffman and Gallagher come to mind first and foremost. Armia’s isn’t great, Dvorak’s contact has some value. UFAs Drouin, Dadonov, Byron, Monahan and Allen all hold better value at the trade deadline depending on their respective seasons. Anderson holds the most value, of any of their players they’d be considering moving at the moment. No point in adding draft picks for any retention at this point. They’ll likely be offering retention at the deadline to improve any returns in the trades they’re bound to make. Management is still stripping it down from the previous regime.

Thread: Leafs get depth and Top Pair Defensemen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Yes it's a homer trade. Nylander has skill and good size but is soft and lazy. Toronto improves their defense and gets retention on ALL THREE incoming players to fix their cap too. If Minnesota could afford Nylander they would have resigned Fiala earlier. The Predators are like everyone else, they don't want Kerfoot and Sandin either.</div></div>

Agree about resigning Fiala versus trading/affording Nylander, but disagree about fixing Leafs D? They’d be overloaded on the left side, just as they currently are. It would push Giordano to 4th on the left side, and Holl to 4th on the right side. Not good cap management if either of them are sitting regularly and are your depth defensemen. That’s what Benn and Mete were signed for, on the cheap. What truly ails the Leafs IMO is secondary scoring and forward depth. Removing Nylander &amp; Kerfoot for Sissons only exacerbates that problem. I’d be targeting Fabbro, not Ekholm - but admittedly, Kerfoot, Sandin and a 2nd likely doesn’t get that done. (leaving out Minnesota and other incidentals entirely, including any retention)

Thread: Wild still get Muzzin w50 retained by AZ
How much of a sweetener would the Wild require? Trade Dumba thru AZ and have them retain the 50%? More draft capital from the Leafs? With the cap penalties forthcoming for the two buy outs, their chances of retaining Dumba past this season are slim. Muzzin for a reduced cost for 2yrs might mitigate that. Holl, Muzzin, Kerfoot likely resembles the production of Dumba and Greenway for this year. How much value do you place on the next two yrs of service for Greenway; and how much more value is there in the trade market for Dumba versus Kerfoot/Holl this trade deadline, plus Muzzin at the next? That’s what the Leafs would likely have to make up to even discuss anything resembling this trade. Would Robertson to the Wild instead even get this discussion started?
