It's almost as if the implication is you will go farther in the playoffs if you have more 10M players than players making 1-9.9M which is quite literally not possible.

Lmao what? The implication is that there’s more 10mil players as a % of all remaining players in the final 4 than there is as a % of all players on all teams. Seems like they’re not as big of a roadblock to competing as everyone has temper tantrums about.

Dallas:
9.85 to Seguin
9.5 to Benn
8.45 to Hintz next year
8.45 to Heiskanen
7.75 to Robertson

Vegas:
10 to Eichel
9.5 to Stone
8.8 to Pietrangelo

Florida:
10 to Barkov
10 to Bob
9.5 to Tkachuk
7.5 to Ekblad
6.5 to Reinhart
6.5 mil in buyouts

Carolina is the only real exception but they have guys at 8+ and half the team is UFA/RFA in the next season or two.

Is Seguin being at 9.85 instead of “10+” the thing that’s making Dallas succeed? The extra 150k is the secret sauce?

How did you come to that conclusion from the post? I don't see how the implication here is that it's not a road block when the other sample size (1M-9.9M) includes the entire league and the countless terrible contracts in the league.
 
I think the leafs need to swing a Marner trade like the Hamilton trade Calgary did.

What about Marner to the Blue Jackets for Roslovic + Boqvist + # 22OA?

And then run

Tavares - Matthews - Jarnkrok
Knies - Roslovic - Nylander
Robertson - O'Reilly - Accari
ZAR - Kampf -

You get two young guys who have some control and another high pick in a deep draft. I think that second line would be fast, and you get a sound, cost controlled RD with some potential in Boqvist.

Tavares with Matthews and Jarnkrok I think would be an interesting line to try. If not slide Nylander and Knies up with Matthews and go from there.
 
They would need to start with Beniers, and I doubt that there is any appetite for that from them.

We should try and get a center back though. Cuz JT needs to move to LW if he is staying. He cannot play center any more.

First of all, I think Marner is not getting traded. If he is, he's not staying in the East. He's getting traded to the West.

Focus on LA Kings, Minnesota, Calgary, Nashville as teams that could have interest.

Wright is their top prospect but I'm not as keen on him.

Add Seattle to this. That franchise will be desperate for a star and I think they'd give pretty much anything to build around Beniers + Marner

They don’t have anything to give up that is of equivalent value.

Maybe Wright, dunn

I am once again proposing Kastelic for Timmins.

I am high on Timmins but at the end of the day he will be 25 to start next season and he’s played 130 hockey games since he turned 20. I don’t see a future with him on this team, especially if Schenn returns.

Ottawa needs RHD, Toronto needs a new 4C. Kastelic has been an analytics darling this year in Ottawa on the defensive and offensive side of the puck. He is a big RS C. He’s signed for 2 years beyond this season at 835k. He also fights and hits which as of right now the Leafs don’t have someone under contract that will do that. The Leafs get slightly younger while saving a small amount on the cap.

Ottawa has two 1st round pick RHDs, Lassi Thomson and Jacob Bernard-Docker, both of whom have been injury call-ups but aren't full time NHLers yet, who are going to now need waivers after this summer. One or both will make the team and the other will be traded or put on waivers if they aren't NHL-quality. That's where Ottawa is going to be getting it's RHD for the upcoming season. Makes no sense for them to trade for a RHD and then put two recent 1st round pick kids on waivers.

Does Thompson for sure need waivers next year? I thought 2019 draft isn’t waiver eligible yet. Is JBD an NHL defenseman right now?

Agreed. Any deal involving Marner to St. Louis would need Thomas coming our way.

That's completely unrealistic.

Marner is a winger on a 2 year contract headed to UFA not RFA. Robert Thomas is a young-ish 1st line center locked up long term.

Think about it from St Louis Blues point of view. We have a young-ish 1st line center locked up long term. Who are we trading him for? A great UFA-age winger on a 2 year contract making $10.9m cap hit? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Teams with young-ish 1st line centers or 1A/1B centers locked up long term... Thompson (Buffalo), Larkin (Detroit), Suzuki (Montreal), Stutzle, Norris (Ottawa), Hughes, Hischier (New Jersey), Barzal (Islanders), Hintz (Dallas), Thomas (St Louis)... none of those players are going to be traded for anybody on a 1 or 2 year contract, no matter how good the player is, unless it's McDavid or maybe Makar or something like that. Also, Marner is a winger, which is the least important position in hockey. Trading a center for a winger is usually something you don't do unless the winger is better than the center.

2019 draft normal birthdays aren't waiver eligible yet (except guys who played full time as teens like Jack Hughes, Kakko), but the older guys in the draft, born in 2000 in the second half of September or October or November or December, those guys get 4 years not 5 of waiver exemption, if they sign their NHL contracts as teenagers. It's all quite complicated but I've picked up how it works over the years.

I just went to CapFriendly to double check and I'm right. Bernard-Docker is 2018 draft normal birthday, 5 years until waivers (= 2023 summer), and Thomson is 2019 draft late birthday / older, 4 years until waivers (= 2023 summer).

Both played as injury call-ups last year, but neither of them solidified themselves as full-time NHL defensemen and weren't in the team's top 7 D / 23 man roster when everybody is healthy.

I thought about that too. What could the Kraken offer though other than picks?

Wright- one of if not the top prospects in hockey, a centre
20/50/52/57 in this year's draft

Top 70 picks from the last two drafts
Firkus/Goyette/Nyman/Winterton up front
Evans/Nelson at D

Bjorkstrand- top 6 W signed with term
Tolvanen- young top 9 W with upside


Whether Marner or Nylander, if Seattle is looking to invest in a star we could do a lot worse.

Wright concerns me. His production has consistently dipped in the playoffs. I’d take a chance on him in a Marner deal but I’d want a significant add. All of Goyette/Firkus/Winterton are intriguing. Tolvanen would probably be the player I’d focus on from the roster given his age.
