Thread: Kadri to CBJ and Murphy from CHI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonesryan</b></div><div>I'm not saying that he's not good. I've liked him since his junior days. It's just adding another right handed shooting winger when Toronto is loaded with those kinds of players. If it's a winger they're looking it, it should be a left handed one. They only have Johnsson, Marleau and Moore there that are NHL ready. Unless Toronto was gonna move 1 of Kapanen, Marner, Bracco or maybe a Nylander, there really isn't a need for another winger like Anderson. At least not for Kadri, use Kadri's high trade value to get the dman they need. Especially with Anderson's contract expiring soon and all of Toronto's other RFA's and UFA's coming up at the same time, it'd turn into a rental situation almost. That's not really the best or ideal trade value for a guy like Kadri</div></div>

I think the thought here would be that Nylander would replace Kadri as the 3rd line Center. So that would open up a spot for Anderson to play as a right winger even with Marner, Kapanen &amp; Bracco. I'm not saying I agree with it but that could work. To me I prefer the value of a 3rd line C with a $4.5 Mil contract compared to a 3rd line C with a $6.9 Mil contract, but Anderson is good, In a perfect world Toronto would only have to trade Zaitsev &amp; Brown.

Thread: Could this work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Here is what I was referring to. It's unfinished and I have turned it into a bit of a storage dump but the first three sections should say everything you need to know.

The main criticism now of this post was the term, which once accounted for says that AM is overpaid, and that if these 10 numbers are true about Marner, that he will be badly overpaid.
As I said. I have been DOWN that road, I'm just hoping I'm right at this point, but preparing for 6@10</div></div>

Seems slightly dated now as Marner has gone off the charts and is a top scorer in the league. I would say he is comparable to Johnny Hockey to be honest. If he could get the same cap % as him on a 5 or 6 year deal I would be happy.

Very thorough and informative though. Thanks for sharing that.

Thread: 2019-20 Cap Trouble No Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>11 ties him for 3rd highest paid player in the league, that just simply is not happening.</div></div>

Hopefully they get him for less. I don't think he's an $11 mil player but I think He and his people do. So if I were to make adjustments to this it would be what?
Marner at $10.450 (Save $500k)
Brown Gone and Bracco Up (Save $1.26M)
Marchement Up and Engvall Gone (Save $157k)

That's $2M roughly saved. The issue is if you trade Zaitsev (which might be more difficult than Brown) you have to replace him with a rookie, unless you can get a less bad cap hit back. And no one can count on someone to retire. With the facts as we have them now, this is going to be tough. Not impossible though.
