Proposal: MTL/CBJ/TOR 3-way

[Number 57]

To Columbus:
Joel Armia $3.4M (3 more years)
Nick Abruzzese
Toronto's 5th 2023
Tampa Bay's 4th 2022 (from MTL)

To Toronto:
Max Domi $5.3M (UFA) -- 50% retained by CBUS, 50% retained by MTL

To Montreal:
Toronto's 3rd in 2023
William Villeneuve

Montreal clears long term salary, CBUS gets something for UFA Domi, and Toronto gets better for the playoffs + obvious Domi connection.

Montreal can absorb Ritchie's contract if this still doesn't work for Toronto's cap

[sansabri]

we don't need to clear salary + this deal sucks

 

[Empoleon8771]

I can't think of a single reason for why Columbus would do this

 

[LeafChief]

Seems like a lot of pieces for retained Domi.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Seems like a lot of pieces for retained Domi.

and if we have to google some of the names involved that does not help

Montreal is not doing this. awful.

Toronto upgrades their forward depth and doesn't have to give up any high picks or top prospects to do it, that's the benefit to them.

 

[Morbo]

already had one Dummi in Toronto, and the apple never falls too far from the tree. no thanks.

Why on earth would Toronto want Domi?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Why on earth would Toronto want Domi?

For THAT? why not?

 

[Holymakinaw]

For THAT? why not?

Because he's not a good or consistent player, and is on his 3rd team already at the age of 26. If any GM had half a brain, they'd stay FAR away from that guy.

Every team wins

-Toronto improves without giving up a ton.
-Montreal clears cap and gets a pick/prospect
-CBUS gets some pieces for a UFA who will leave

He's a UFA rental, retained and you don't have to give up much

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

For the amount of talent he has if that's the price someone will take him, especially with 75% retained

Habs give up a 4th, Armia Retain 50 % on Domi and we do all this for a 3rd round pick.
Forget to ad we get a prospect who will probably never see a game in the NHL
How can the Habs decline?

I don't know those prospects so I'd leave that to Leafs fans to determine.

-Montreal clears cap and gets a pick/prospect

Is that actually an objective for the Habs? Clearing cap, that is?

-CBUS gets some pieces for a UFA who will leave

Pieces that we don't need and don't help. IF we trade Domi at the deadline, it's going to be primarily for futures, not for a twentieth winger.

Short term : No.
Medium term : Well, it would be useful.

Do you think Armia has any value? You get rid of a cap dump worth 3.4 millions for 3 years after this and get paid for it and still complain

 

[Canadienna]

I think CBJ says no, TOR says hell yes, and MTL only does it if they need the roster/cap space.

Would Domi not return a 2nd+prospect kind of thing? He's a decent player.

 

[Holymakinaw]

He's a UFA rental, retained and you don't have to give up much

LOL. I think the Leafs can do MUCH better than that, thx

 

[Holymakinaw]

For the amount of talent he has if that's the price someone will take him, especially with 75% retained

Great. Someone else is welcome to have him. He's not at all what the Leafs need, and this trade will never happen anyway.

 

[JackieMoon]

Why in the world would Columbus retain salary and give up Domi so they can be burdened for 3 more years with a 28 year old 4th liner that is in a steep decline (1 goal) and makes $3.4 million per year, two garbage picks and a prospect I had to Google. I don't think the Jackets get a king's ransom for Domi but this horrible. A 4th liner making $3.4 mil for 3 more years is not "something " it would actively make them worse for 3 years. We have players to resign.

Getting rid of Armia is a win any way you slice it

Armia can play 3rd line, your finnish GM will like him, he was great in our playoff run last year.

For UFA Domi you get two picks, a solid prospect from TOR (he's way underrated) and a solid roster player signed medium term. Why would you complain?
