I could see that Tampa go for him, +/- is very much a team stat and they have two cups and the only player who is better that all Tampa players if You look at those two years are Mayfield.
Forsure... but I think they and Toronto are the only teams where it may make sense to give up a 1st for Mayfield... and there are a lot more than 2 big-bodied RHD's available this year.
They of course don't have $1.5m contracts, but teams will retain, and find double-retention partners if needbe.
Don't get me wrong, if Isles decide they want to sell on Mayfield, then I think the deal may be headlined headlined by a 1st considering his contractual status (unless Lou values somebody that may be on the outs on that team), but I don't believe the Leafs are going to part with a guy like Knies for him.
