<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>I still think this team needs to add another d-man. I don't think Holl should last a full season plus a deep playoff run as a top 4. I think Dubas will definitely address that.

I think the writing is on the wall for Dermott. He just doesn't fit in with the cap with wanting a raise and the depth on the left side. Use his value while he's still young and has potential to address other areas.

I think Mikheyev comes in slightly higher, personally I use the Pierre Engvall deal as a comparable. I could see him taking 1 year around $1.25M or 2 years slightly higher.

It seems like Dubas was shopping Andersen quite a bit. I think a change in net is coming. Plenty of teams looking for good goaltending so they'll be a good market for him.

&amp; just my view personally, I don't think Robertson sticks around. Still young and could use some development. The addition of Joey Anderson and Jimmy Vesey kinds take his spot in the line up away. Let him tear up junior again (I believe he still has 1 year of eligibility left, but maybe go to the AHL) and then see where things are after the expansion draft with him.

I actually did something similar earlier you could check out to see the kinds moves I was talking about:

I hear about Roberston and I'd actually be ok with him staying off the roster to mature a bit. Pencil in basically any other sub 1m contract fwd instead of him, we have a bunch signed now to create internal competition to weed out the ones who can't cut it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>I never said 2 years at $1M. I said Engvall is the comparable. Both guys got off to hot starts and when Engvall signed his his play slowed down. Which would be similar to Mikheyev's injury then returning in the play ins where he was invisible. Sure, $1.5M works. But it's a smaller sample size than Simmonds. So a little less is nothing big. I'd say 1 or 2 years at$1.25M is more than fair</div></div>

It was me who had the two years at 1m in my AGM. I'll explain my thought process:
Mikheyev came in and played pretty well and was on a solid middle 6 pace. Thing is, there are only specific things which are admissable into arbitration as evidence ad they are linked here. <a href="https://www.liveabout.com/nhl-salary-arbitration-explained-2778981" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.liveabout.com/nhl-salary-arbitration-explained-2778981</a>

He played around 35 games in the NHL and then after he got injured another 5. He went those 5 pointless which can be used as a proof that his injury hurt his production. You arent allowed to hypothesise on possible points by projection in arbitration. Based on a tiny tiny tiny sample size at average pace theres almost no chance he gets a raise near what he wants. I have him at 950k but wanted to leave room so signed for 1m. plus, the leafs are going to push for a two year contract becuase its very likely going to be a bargain price.

Dermott didn't file for arbitration so the leafs can basically hold him in a stale mate until he signs what they want and the fact is that not signing him doesnt hurt them that much with the additions they made. if he wants to play in the NHL he's going to have to take a cut because all the power is in the Leafs court because he didnt file. For Nylander it was a huge problem and we needed it to end because we needed him in the roster, not the saem for dermott now. With Riley/Brodie Muzzin/Holl Sandin/Bogosian and Lehtonen we have a pretty good looking D core so Dermott has no leverage for a bigger contract.
