Replace 2 players with 3.

We're talking $22mm in Cap Space, not trying to pay 3 players with $10mm.

Knies has earned a raise. That's it.

So no 1st. liners coming in, but definitely can get 3 players capable of playing on the 2nd. line.

 

[The Shadow]

So we trade all of our good players for other teams later picks and prospects, while we give other teams top 5-10 picks that own the leafs pick?

What in gods name are you talking about ?

 

[RoadWarrior]

That seems new.

Benn looks done. Can’t replace Marner on the cheap.

 

[RoadWarrior]

as good of a line I think Knies - Matthews - Kane could be. I'd probably only sign Kane if we somehow get rid of Domi.

They have way more cap space this year. No need to get rid of Domi who was just about the only guy to show up in game 7.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

Tree needs to have some long walks on the beaches of Buffalo with Grier from San Jose at the combine. They have tonnes of cap space and a derth of vets to surround their young talent. They could be a nice landing spot for any combo of Rielly, Domi, Jarnkrok, Kampf, Reaves.

I would target Kostin, I think he has good size and speed and hits, and untapped potential, he did well on Edmonton, but has struggled on teams who weren't good. He'sRFA, can probably give him the same money Jarnkrok was making, but SJ gets JK at half the actual dollars.
Also Ferraro, as a Rielly replacement if he were to magically go.

 

[rumman]

We can't rebuild we have no draft picks.

In theory IF they had the self awareness to accept this core ain’t winning shit, AND had the stones to have a “core” yard sale they would have plenty of picks and prospects to rebuild with, but it’s just a opium dream……..

Team depth, what a novel idea…….

 

[Malachi Crunch]

I think that, now that we know that Reilly is probably staying, I wouldn't touch the D-core in the summer. These guys have all earned another year. They were mostly great (except for carrying the puck out of the D zone).

However, I would tell Rielly (in a polite way) that he has to spend the summer training and come to camp thinner and more fit than ever. If he starts sucking, I'd trade him during the year. I think that's fair for everyone. That puts Rielly's fate in his own hands.

NMC ...

Leafs control is ice time and playing time.

 

[namttebih]

I know that the return will be underwhelming and I'm not blaming him for the series against FLA, but could we not sign a veteran goalie for $1M to back up Stolarz if he's healthy?

If they plan on building through FA, 3.7 for Woll seems steep

Or even roll the dice and use The Beast?

don't forget they control his press box time too..........

 

[namttebih]

Can someone help a brother out? Trying to use the GM mode in PP. After you add player to trade, where do you go to access the trade? Using mobile app. Cheers.

Yep, that's ice time / playing time.

Jonathan Toews next team odds

Has anyone heard if Mitch has said anything about waiving negtiation rights only? I know that it's a no to a sign and trade. I don't see how it changes anything for him if either or both Leafs and him are certain for it to be over. It would obviously have to be to a team that he's interested in. Even ask Ferris for 3 teams to work with.

If he's going to Vegas, you would have to think that they ask Stone to waive. That would be nearly a quarter of the cap tied up into 2 RW. What team would do that...

Believe his agent has said they don’t care about the 8th year. That would mean there’s no reason to waive.

Makes sense when you just care about getting max dollars. Short contract and wait for the cap to rise.

For sure, I get that its inferred. I just wanted to know if he has publicly said anything specific. The only thing that changes for him is that he gets to hear one pitch a few weeks early.

 

[namttebih]

It looks like a no-brainer to buy out Reaves. Gain $900K this year and lose $425 next. That's it.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Kane would be a nice add but he’s not playing 22 minutes a night every night at this stage of his career. Realistically he’s a sheltered 14-15 mins at ES and however the PP time shakes out.

Benn-Tavares-Kane would be a funny “if only we had a Time Machine” 3rd line but it leaves the top6 looking sparse.

 

[Americanadian]

Just bury him. It costs 200k against the cap.

 

[LeafChief]

Or just bury him this year and lose $200k this year and thats it.

 

[Legion34]

? If you bury him you only get like 200k on the cap?

 

[namttebih]

Thoughts on this as a start?

Knies - Matthews - xxxx
Laughton - Bennett - Nylander
Mcmann - Tavares- Domi
Xxxx Eyssimont xxxx
