Mrazek is a terrible cap dump… engvall has little to no value to Anaheim and a 2nd isn’t something we should be trading Gibson for

I would ignore any inquests regarding Gibson. Not at all realistic IMO. Right now I feel like we Leaf fans are that annoying tire kicker who tries to talk you down all the while knowing they are buying something else lol

Fair enough, I guess I felt that Nylander's value was higher than Lindholm's so it worked out in the original deal. Either way, I don't think Nylander gets traded because Dubas promised him he wouldn't trade him and he's likely willing to die on the hill.
IMO Leafs need to draw from their superstar forwards to bring in defensive help and this would help them get to the 2nd round.

I can't imagine a single scenario where the Ducks take any cap dumps back in this trade lol.

IMO, the proposal earlier of 1st + Neighbors + Scandella + Perunovich / Kostin for an extended Lindholm is fine as a cap dump because there's sufficient value coming back and it's not like Scandella's terrible.
Dubas said he wont trade leafs 1st or any top prospects, Leafs have traded past 3 years 1st with no success and with leafs goaltending this year i doubt leafs management wants to take that risk this year

Scandella is serviceable as a 3rd pairing guy. He’s been asked in STL to play a heavy shutdown role next to Parayko which just hasn’t been working.
He is overpaid for what he is. However, he’s still an nhl defender. He may not have much value. But he’s not a guy you have to send down to the AHL to try and save a million in cap.

Not every forward who's better than Jeff Skinner is getting $9M+. Bad contracts aren't great reference points.

I can see that as well, but I think there'll be better offers w/o the Ducks having to take on additional salary, and they'll be looking for that. I think the future cap flexibility for a rebuilding team is way more valuable than anything a cap dump might bring.

Thanks for that update. Super cool of you
is this supposed to be sarcastic lol
Yah that’s the rumor of what Lindholm is wanting. And the board is making very solid points here. Who has the cap for a 8x8 that’s a contender. I mean it’s not like Anaheim is broke. They would have signed him to his dollar amount. But that term is what killed the deal
Not at all, I was trying to find something similar. I didn’t have Twitter open up yet
I think he will get the term at the sacrifice of the cap hit. Either 7x7 or 8x6.5. From what was being speculated it, term was where the negotiations broke down between Lindholm and Anaheim.
Oilers will take Lindholm, Gibson, and Rackell.
You can have everything not McDavid or Draisaitl as long as the cap works.
Take 3x 1sts + prospects, whatever. Holloway and Bourgault I guess are tossed in there, but you gotta take some dumps to make the salary work.

Bad for business if you are not open to alternative options. As fans, you can say that and laugh but it won't fly with real GM's. If a team is willing to offer you more value cause they are sending a 1/2 year cap dump, you consider it among all the offers.
Don't pretend that all teams calling you for Lindholm have cap space. It's a major factor in this flat cap
