Thread: karlsson to toronto heard it here first
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Know_Nothing_About_Hockey_Or_Any_Sport2</b></div><div>If you take out the RFA rights to Stone, the Senators might accept, but the Leafs are definitely overpaying. The Leafs also have no need whatsoever for another offensive defenseman, and certainly shouldn't be trading away players who can actually fix their defensive weaknesses in a couple of years for it. Also, Marleau's getting older and slowing down, so without Nylander, they're really weak on wings <em>and</em> don't have anyone to help Anderson.</div></div>

Leafs have no need for the best defenseman in the league? lol. and the odds of Liljegren turning into even half the player that Karlsson is are pretty slim. And as for the wings being weakened, Stone is an upgrade on Nylander. McElhinney is a capable backup and if he fails then call up Sparks or trade for one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jp_harvey</b></div><div>One thing : how do you sign all those guys next summer? 11M for EK, 10.5M for Matthews, 8.5M for Marner, 5.5M for Gardiner. That's 35.5M right there, so you're at 88.1M$ with 15 roster players (need 8 more and the cap will be at 83M$ TOP)...not well thought out, pal</div></div>

Start with 2.4 million in cap space. Trade Marleau after the season. Let Gardiner, McBackup, Ennis and Hainsey walk. Karlsson's 6,500,000 comes off the books as well. That's 24,700,000 or more. Enough to re-sign Marner and Karlsson and get some depth pieces.
