They might, but he will be in the Olympics, and it will be nice to see how he does. Team USA plays China next week in their first game and then Canada after that.

since the leafs are that tight to the cap would they be interested in chariot at 50% and a montreal 3rd (essentially a late 2nd ) for a toronto first and holl ? we're not really interested in holl but to make the cap work will do it .
Braun would be an ideal pickup IMO.
Leafs would probably look at Travis Dermott being the odd man out on the blueline... not sure if he's of interest to Philly or not. Tough fit being a left shot.
Assuming not, probably something around the Leafs 2nd.... maybe a bit of retention for Braun. Philly has all 3 spots available. 1 for Giroux, 1 for Ristolainen, maybe they use one of Braun.
Alternatively, maybe you do something like Dermott for Braun @ 50%, plus a 5th rounder. Helps get the Leafs back into the middle of the draft whereas they've been devoid of picks for 2 years.

that's ok . if it's holl send the paperwork . if it's ritchie will work with another team against the cap . wouldn't ritchie help you more in the playoffs when things get rough ?
just noticed ritchie is owed 3.3 million in real dollars next year . definitely a no go .

He would for sure but he isn't near as important as holl who if you look at his numbers is starting to really play like his old self.

Real dollars isn't a problem for Philly. Ownership just stated they've been given a blank check to get better. What's the incentive
I would imagine the flyers and the rest of the NHL would be quite happy if a one "Justin Bruan" was slotted in the leaf's top 4.
He'd likely have to... but if Josh Manson ends up here, that would likely put an end to Justin Braun.
I think the Leafs see what they have in Sandin-Holl; and are comfortable with that. The need is another right side D that can bump Holl down to that 3rd pair.
To be fair, they tried that approach with Muzzin (as a partner for Rielly) and obviously didn't really pan out that way.
The Leafs have a pretty "rigid" structure of their D. The guy doesn't necessarily need to be a right shot, but he's gotta be somebody that you invision playing with Rielly, Muzzin or Sandin.
I agree doesn't matter on hand. If the guy is comfortable and capable of the right side of muzzin.
