Thread: Rebuilding the RHD Trading Marner
Addressing some comments here:
Marner: In this instance I am assuming that Lou is threatening an OS around $11M and this trade is made to circumvent it. There are other possible scenarios.
Why trade Rielly? In this instance, it's because Trouba and Gardiner are both better and Trouba gives us an elite RHD option. Rielly's value has never been higher (this was a real good year in counting numbers) and if you get a 2020 (great draft class) pick with a team that has been having competitive issues lately, I would do that deal if they would take it, even though it would be bold to do it and the fanbase would convulse.
Marleau to OTT? I don't know what they think of Demelo but after July 1st, Marleau becomes extremely attractive to them. Why? His remaining real salary is $1.25M and his cap hit is huge. It gets them to the floor and saves real money, plus they don't care to compete. That's Melnyk for ya.
Salaries: I am modelling around Evolving_Wild's salary projection model, with the Leafs kicking in a few extra dollars as incentives here and there.
