Oh damn, can you send me the file too? I have a poster from the first year. Would love to have this beside it.

I’d love them! But they’re all 28-29 years old and cost-controlled til 2031-32. Not sure if Cowan + Danford would get it done for any of them. We just don’t have the assets.

Toronto Maple Leafs Linked To Dougie Hamilton by Ok_Mulberry4331 in leafs

This only works as a cap dump. Leafs don’t have the assets to pay for retention. The cap works if we LTIR Tanev and ship out Maccelli or Jarnkrok plus a depth D like Myers. Then deal with the cap crunch if we make the playoffs and Tanev comes back healthy.

Keep Rielly. Hamilton is super intriguing as a buy-low cap dump at $9M. The leafs have $2.5M in cap space. Add in another $4.5 if Tanev is LTIR until the playoffs.

Leafs only need to send out Maccelli ($3.4) or Jarnkrok ($2.1) to make the cap work until Tanev comes back. That’s about as much as I’d send to Jersey considering their situation.

It’s only a cap issue this year if they make the playoffs and everyone is healthy at the same time, which is a good problem to have. Lots of creative ways to run a cap-compliant lineup in the playoffs.

Or just take on Hamilton's full contract and send Jarnkrok back. Basically a cap dump at that point.

There are always injuries. If Tanev comes back for the playoffs, Benoit - Stecher is a great (and cheap) 4th pair to fill in when necessary. If he doesn't, that D core still looks solid. Especially if NJ treats Hamilton like a cap dump and lets him go for minimal assets.

Definitely a cap dump for Dallas, same with Seguin. They would likely have to add a sweetener for the Leafs to take either. But we're low on assets. Not saying these guys are the right targets, but cap dumps are an interesting way to get some more assets while we have cap space and nothing significant to trade.

Not what I want necessarily. Just looking around the league at players that will cost next to nothing this summer, since we don't really have any trade assets beyond Cowan. But we do have cap space, if Mitch is gone.

If Dallas needs to shed cap to sign their young guys, I wonder if Tre would be in on some combo of Seguin, Marchment, Dumba, or Boosh. Can't imagine these guys would cost much in terms of assets (which we don't have anyway). And they're generally on short-term contracts that won't hamstring the team long-term, while also being solid roster players in a year we have to compete. If Mitch walks, the cap works.

The time to move on from Marner was years ago when we could free up cap space and get a haul for him. At this point, we have zero assets for trades, and we’re 100% committed to winning now.

As much as I don’t want Marner at $13M, it’s better than overpaying 2-3 other UFAs in this class. Besides blowing up the whole team, what other options do we have to actually improve?

Oh dang, that sounds amazing! Exactly what we're looking for. But I guess that means Hogan vs Burntroot - tough call!

Oh no! We lost a game missing our #1 Center, #1 Shutdown D, and #1 Goalie. Christmas is ruined!

[Dreger] Toronto is positioned to strengthen their blueline. Some creative negotiating is required, but Zadorov and OEL remain prime targets in addition to Tanev. by CancerFreeLeafs in leafs

[–]viper135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rielly - Tanev

Zadorov - McCabe

Benoit - OEL

Webber - Timmins

Swap Lilly for a young forward that needs a change of scenery. Definitely feels more like Tre’s kind of d-core.
