I assumed the OP just made a mistake and meant to trade a different player. There is no way ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about hockey would think Kampt is getting anything back of value by himself in a trade. He would likely pass waivers without a claim from any team.

Ideal next season roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>I haven’t seen anyone trying to get tanev not a single person only leaf’s fans</div></div>
Most teams who think they are stanley cup contenders are willing to wait a few games to see how their back end shakes out. Toronto already knows it needs a serious upgrade. Closer to trade deadline, if Calgary is out of the running, you can bet there will be multiple suitors for Tanev.

Glimpse into the Future 5
I would expect that offer will easily get outbid by someone. A right handed D who can play top pair minutes for just over 2 million is getting a lot more than a low first and a player that can be interchanged with someone half his salary.

Optimal Lines IMO
As long as Toronto can carry 21 players, they should be carrying an extra D. That current crew of 6 on the back end does not install much confidence, and they will all be in their 30's when the play off starts, other than the one guy that can't be trusted to play any meaningful minutes by the coach.

TDL moves and Playoff Roster
The 3rd round pick is 3 drafts from now. Montreal's 5th plus retention is worth at least as much as the 2026 3rd and a 7th. So after that, you essentially got Monahan for Voit. So obviously not fair from the Montreal aspect.

Not at this time and not for a mid round pick. Teams will want to see if last year was a one hit wonder. He has a place in the NHL, but teams are not going to give up anything of value for him. At least not this close to the start of the season.

Quite possible someone gets injured in camp and this all sorts itself out. If they do start with a 20 man roster, it will need to be an 11-7 set up so they are not running short on the back end.

To start the season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bc44</b></div><div>Its not about the trade team. I literally didnt look at the team i clicked on. Leafs have a cap problem and Jarnkrok is a top 3 trade candidate as he makes 2.1mil. Hes a 10-15 goal scorer and a 30-35 pt guy, there are 7 guys left on the UFA list that have more or similar production to Jarnkrok and he had time with Matthews last season. Again this trade/post has nothing to do with the sharks and more to do with a possible Jarnkrok trade and leaf lines to start the season</div></div>
Your point here supports why other teams are not going to trade for him. Why would a team give up assets when they can pick up a similar player on the UFA list, without giving up any assets and having some control over the term and cap hit. The exact reasons you give why Toronto should trade him would be the exact same reasons other teams would not want to trade for him.

Pretty sure you cannot accrue cap space while having players on LTIR. Under your proposal here, I think the best you could do at any point in the season is pick up a minimum salary player (assuming no cap going out and nothing else changes with this roster).

No Gio? Did you demote him to the minors? If so, you likely really pissed him off after everything he did to help the team. Gio retires and Toronto has to carry his cap hit for the year.

DEPTH AND DEADLY D
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>You're proving my point.. they showed they can score plenty of goals against the best goaltender in the world. If you run into a hot goalie you have play mistake free and wait for your bounces. Every game against Florida was a 1 goal game except the 4-2 loss in game one. Jake "Muzzin 2.0" McCabe was on the ice for 6 more GA than GF - the panthers scored 4 more goals than we did to win the series. We controlled most of the play in the series but you can point to egregious mistakes in every game that cost us. We had the better offense, they made fewer mistakes. It's literally been the same thing every year but some people can't seem to grasp that I guess.
If our excessive investment in the forward group hasn't resulted in enough scoring and our goalies have posted back to back years of sub .900%, both of whom we paid as our backups because the goalies we acquired to be our starters didn't play a single playoff game for us and ended up being cap dumps, why would we keep going back to that philosophy when we have nothing but failure to show for it? Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, ROR etc. can't solve Bobrovsky, or Vasi the year before, or Price, or Korpisalo, but the next 3rd liner we sign will be that difference?
We had to play our 7 million dollar forward Nylander on the 3rd line because he couldn't handle top 6 matchups and needed to be sheltered with offensive zone starts, yet he still got outscored more than any other forward on the team. That means the team was losing when Nylander was on the ice against the other team's 3rd lines, and we're going to pay him close to 10 mil until he's 36?
The strategy to beat the Leafs is pretty simple and has always been the same. Collapse around the net and keep the forwards to the outside. This might leave more space at the point but only Rielly is a threat to provide offense from there anyway. Then just wait until we inevitably make a mistake to create an odd-man rush the other way and bury your chance on a weaker goaltender.
I'm not even talking about shutdown D necessarily, though we definitely need a better shutdown pair than Brodie and McCabe. We also need defenseman who can create offense from the point when our forwards have no space in the offensive zone.
Your whole theory goes against all conventional wisdom and we have nothing but failure to show for it. Guess what? Spending assets to add two D-men to our top 4 at each of the last 2 deadlines, 2 of whom were bottom pairing D making close to league min that we played with our best D man (Lyubushkin and Schenn) and the other 2 who we had to pay extra for to get retention because we couldn't afford them at more than 2 mil (McCabe and Gio), while asking them to play higher in the lineup than they should, and acquiring guys like Mrazek and Murray to be your starters only to have them play zero playoff games before becoming cap dumps, or spending assets on rentals like ROR and Foligno because you're not deep enough at center, all because you invested half your cap in 4 forwards who as you've said haven't been able to give us the scoring we needed to overcome our goals against, HASN'T WORKED. Like, not even ****ing close.
Toronto is supposed to be the Mecca of hockey and our fans should be among the most knowledgeable in the league, but somehow Carolina, Vegas and Tampa fans seem to have figured out the absolute basics before most Leafs fans have.
Also, I've already explained that this roster would be better offensively than last year's as well as being better defensively. That's what can happen when you spread out your cap.
Thankfully Treliving has enough sense to see what needs to be done - take notes.</div></div>
I would thumbs up this post 100 times if I could. You have summed up the issues with Toronto very nicely. In particular you have analyzed why Nylander is one of the most over rated players by some Toronto posters. All they want to talk about is his points, but never want to look at the fact he is on the ice for almost as many goals against, all the while avoiding the other team's top checking lines. I won't even go into detail about how Nylander is not a team player, and doesn't sacrifice, and does not have the play off mentality. And the lack of balance between forwards and the back end is mind boggling, even after multiple years in a row of showing that this balance does not work in the play offs some posters just refuse to acknowledge how the lack of top end defenders are one of the reasons this team continuously fail. I nominate this reply as one of the top entries on this site.

You are short selling. If Tanev can play top 2 minutes, and you re retaining 50% salary, plus including a 4th and a prospect, you should be getting back more than a low first and a 7th. Other teams at the trade deadline will give you more.

1 Simple Move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dougford</b></div><div>You're trading a 20g-40pt defensively responsible 3rd line player and an unproven prospect for a borderline 4th line player who scored 9 goals last year. We can be cap compliant without him</div></div>
He has been in the league 9 full years, he has hit the 20 goal mark once (1 time) and has never scored 40 points. Also somehow this defensively responsible player forgets his strengths once the play offs hit. He will be 32 when the season starts and signed for 3 more years. He is easily replaceable with someone else. I have never seen some fans so determined to stick with the same recipe year after year despite the results conclusively showing that the make up of this team cannot get it done when it counts.

Not sure how Toronto manages this, they are taking on additional cap space, and the best they can do right now is open the season with a 20 man roster. Carolina would need to include salary retention.

Nylander Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>He's such a better player than Svech, it's not even close.
Everyone knows CAR's major problem is offense and scoring goals when the going gets tough. Most of the Nylander trades on here are pure nonsense, this is at least in the ballpark of realistic and beneficial to both sides.</div></div>
Nylander is not the answer to scoring goals when the going gets tough. He gets most of his play off points early in the series, or when the game have already been decided. And on top of that he is not committed to his own end of the ice, he tends to be on the ice for more goals scored against than for, which is the exact opposite type of team Carolina has. He certainly is dynamic offensively, but it comes at a cost in his own end, which is magnified in the later games of play off series when the checking and defense intensifies and teams take less chances because they don't want to give up that one crucial mistake. Nylander is a great addition for a team looking to win the Presidents cup, but the same cannot be said for the Stanley Cup.

Crazy 3 Way Trade
It's fitting that the word crazy is part of this title. Toronto makes out like bandits in this. Essentially give up one high end asset who only has 1 year left on his contract, and a bunch of minor pieces, some of them causing cap issues, in return gets 2 high end assets and minor pieces on reasonably priced contracts, one major asset at 50% retention, both high end assets under control contract longer than 1 year. Pretty much at the expense of the Flyers, giving up those 2 major assets, and retention on 2 players, while getting back minor pieces with questionable cap hits, for 2 late firsts, one of them 3 years from now. Like you said, crazy.
