Thread: Karlsson and Pesce
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ggha777</b></div><div>So SJ get's a cap dump, Robertson who's always hurt. a 1st and Niemela to retain $16 million on EK. I don't see why the sharks would do that</div></div>

At 7.5m a year, I don't see many teams out bidding this offer.

Karlsson at full cap - No teams would touch him
Karlsson at 9.5m cap - I think 1-3 teams may take him for free
Karlsson at 8.5m cap - A team may pay a 2nd round pick for him
Karlsson at 7.5m cap - this is where I see his value increasing quite a bit. 1st + good prospect is fair. Which they get Niemela + 1st here. Lets say Robertson and Murray cancel each other out.
Karlsson at 50% retention - I think a team would pay ALOT for him here. BUT it sounds like Grier doesn't want to do that. I think that's the wrong move.

I could be wrong and I am open to that possibility. But if you are expecting more than this, I think you will be in for a surprise.

Thread: The shake up that can make sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaquille_Oatmeal</b></div><div>Calgary isn't doing that and neither is Arizona. Getting rid of Murray's contract will almost cost a 1st round pick by it self. Are you getting Crouse and Schmaltz for a late 1st round pick + Robertson? Not even close.</div></div>

So everyone has either forgotten about the Mrazek deal that set the market for goalies getting moved or just ignore it to fuel their desire to see the leafs burn. It will not cost as much to move Murray as it cost to move Mrazek. So no it will not cost a first. The best goalie on the market this summer is Jarry. Guess what he is, an inconsistent goalie who can't stay healthy. Murray is going to make less than he will next season and has won 2 cups and won't need a minimum of 3 years term. Murray is not going to be problematic to move.

Thread: Down 2 games Better blow up the team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rgwhite17</b></div><div>Is this a serious post? Honestly can’t tell. Im not against trading nyalnder if they can’t resign him IF the return is great. (Which it should be)
How is trading nylander help pay Matthews in 2024? You could just have another shot at it next year and let him walk before you trade him for not much return.

Also in general fans, media, whoever need to understand the leafs are in the best position cap wise to sign matthews. Anyone can insert the “leafs are in cap hell” reply here if they like but Leafs are already paying matthews 11.6, how much more is he gonna get? 13? 14? They only need to pay him 2-3 million more than they are now, the cap will prob go up that on its own by 24. Any other team needs to free up 13-14 million as most likely he want to sign with a team that is up against the cap already.
Cap will never be an issue in resigning Matthews, he just needs to want to stay. JT deal up the year after he would sign so it could be tight for the first season then 11 million comes off.</div></div>

Wisdom and good sense don't really drive people's reasoning on here.

Thread: Its ok to trade Knies
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rgwhite17</b></div><div>For sure ya I can agree. As a fan right now I’m just hoping if the leafs don’t get Meier it’s reported afterwards they had a top offer but it was just beat out. It will be very frustrating if it’s reported Meier to the leafs would have happened but they wouldn’t include knies.</div></div>

Grier said a bunch of teams have asked about Timo. Toronto, Boston, NJ, Buf, and Carolina are all rumored to be kicking tires. Being Grier's first major trade, you can bet he doesn't want to lose it and is waiting for the best offer possible. Grier said whatever the offer it has to be one that makes SJ speed up their rebuild so I would assume the main piece has to be someone that is very close to NHL ready if not ready now and will make an impact in SJ in the near future, not in 2-4 years.
