Value of: Nick Schmaltz to the Leafs.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

With Arizona legend Shane Doan joining the Leafs you have to think he's going to want bring somebody over from Arizona with him, and while think that player might be Lawson Crouse,.

I think Nick Schmaltz might be the most available.

The reason for that is while his cap hit is about 5.8 million, the actual money he's owed is 7.5 million, 8.4 million and 8.5 million and actual dollars matter a lot for teams like Arizona especially with what they going through now.

If I were Arizona I'd move Schmaltz for futures and a cap dump, don't see Toronto outbidding another team in such a trade. Toronto would offer like Matt Murray and Boston's 1st and I think they could do better.

Didn’t believe in Nick Schmaltz all that much a few seasons ago but he has proven himself as a capable top 6 RWer.

It's nice that your worried about the homeless but the Leafs can't afford the cap hit unless if they move someone else.
Nylander did play with Schmaltz in juniors (as well as Dvorak).

Unless if you're suggesting Mathews after his signing bonus is paid. Then it would make sense.

They can though they can have about 20 million in space if they want it.

58 points in 63 games? How is he at faceoffs? Not a bad cap hit if he can play on Jack’s RW

Schlitz + Malt = Schmaltz?

According to capgeek, using ltir on Muzzin it will leave less than $9M for 7 players with Schmaltz.

Schmaltz's contract absolutely represents elite value. One of the best non ELC deals in the league. And the Yotes know this.

He sucks at it.

Clearly the ask from Arizona would be Knies. TML surely says no.

I'm not sure who you're thinking of but Nylander didn't play junior with Schmaltz.

I don't know why I said juniors, it was midgets: Chicago Bantam Majors III 10-11 season All 3 were on the same team.

Matt Murray won't be around either, trade, buyout, LTIR I'm not sure how but Matt Murray is gone

It would make sense to buy him out, if he is healthy. Samsonov will cost ??

 

[biturbo19]

Unless the Leafs actually do manage to move Marner or something...i'm not sure a player like Schmaltz is really what the Leafs need to add.

I'm not sure Samsonov will be here either.

Thing you have to remember is that with the possible exception of Luke Schenn from his days in Arizona Brad Treliving has no loyalty to anybody on this roster.

Not even TJ Brodie because we know he tried to trade Brodie and would have if Kadri hadn't blocked the deal, and TJ Brodie knows that too.

Regardless of if Samsonov is back or not I don't think Treliving is sold on him.

I have wondered about Markstrom since day 1 because that is Treliving guy, he brought him to Calgary.

I fully expect a Toronto/Calgary trade of some kind.

Maybe it's not Markstrom but he's bringing somebody over from Calgary.

Personally I'd bet on Hanifin.

the yotes also know he makes $7.5M, $8.45M and $8.5M in real dollars over the next few years so I'm pretty sure they will be motivated to move him.

This suggest that they are making decisions based on cash flow only - is that for sure the case? They keep acquiring these big, non producing contracts that also have negative cash flow impacts, don't they?
