Thread: Leafs if Cap Goes Up 3 Million
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Cap wont go up 3mil

But I like some of the moves, but think the UFAs are underpaid and will go elsewhere for more.

Kampf will get 2mil or more, Patches wont get 1mil -probably more like 4mil, acciari will get an increase on his 22-23, and ROR and Severson could both go for a bit more. As far as 24-25 goes, you'd be hard pressed to keep Max P, Lafferty and LeBlanc, while you're paying Matthews, Liljegren, Robertson, Samsonov and expiring guys like Giordano, Acciari, Lemieux with replacing with QUALITY guys.

But I like the pairing ideas on defense and the signings of a lemieux/severson, but the team is still pretty top 6 focused</div></div>

Pacioretty I'm basing that number off the bonus rule where because of his age and his injury they can pay him in bonuses that would carry over into the next year. Thats my theory for that contract and cap number anyway.

I agree some guys could get paid better. It's always an educated guess what someone would be willing to take depending on the situation they're in. I agree this team doesn't prepare you much for the next season... but it also gives room for a major reset if it doesn't go well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bringer_Of_Snow</b></div><div>That NJ is the definition of poor asset management… Puljujarvis ceiling is infinitely higher than M.McLeods and worst case he ends up a 30-40 pt 3rd liner with good advanced stats.

M. McLeod absolute best case turnout is a 30pt 3C, but way more likely a gritty 4th liner.

There’s no way you even consider this deal if we didn’t have his brother. The deal in itself is a guaranteed loss for the oilers in terms of value</div></div>

You have to consider the market and the cap management side of it too. JP wants top six minutes and money. The Oilers have made it clear they don’t see him there. So if they can direct those cap dollars elsewhere and get a player who fills a need there is a bigger picture than the trade itself.

McLeod is a RHC 57% in the dot, was 70% plus defensive zone start, hits, fights, is young… and has scored at other levels before.

Yes his brother is in Edmonton too but that wasn’t the main thought behind it.
