Proposal: TOR - CHI (cap dump)

[kerrabria]

First, wanna say that I'm a fan of neither team. Just an idea I had while looking at capfriendly.
So maybe this is a "No!" from both sides.

to TOR: Stillman
to CHI: Mrazek, Holl, 2022 1st Rounder

Why Toronto does it:
Pretty obvious that they need cap space, and both Mrazek and Holl are dead weight. Unfortunately, neither have signing bonuses, and Mrazek's contract is actually back loaded ($400k and $600k greater than his cap hit), so they'll need to find a rebuilding partner for whom cash isn't a concern. Corey Stillman was a good bottom pair d-man for the Panthers before he was moved to Chicago. Highly physical, has an edge to his game...I think he'd be a great add as the Leafs bottom pair LHD.

Why Chicago does it:
They're rebuilding, but they don't have a 1st Rounder this year. They trade Fleury, and their other two goalies are UFAs. Mrazek is good two-year option for tanking. Meanwhile, Holl has a 10-team NTC, but I doubt an American from the Midwest is gonna nix a trade to Chicago.

This was just covered yesterday but instead of Stillman it was Borgstrom

Didn't realize since I don't frequent the trade board. What was the consensus?
Also, Borgstrom is ass while Stillman actually has value. The former probably wouldn't crack the Leafs lineup while the latter could end up their 5D.

Money wise a first probably won’t be needed to move mrazek. Holl himself should have mid round value coming back.

It would take 2 x 2nds to dump Mrazek.

Holl has no value.

Just buy out Mrazek save assets

I don't think Dubas will move their 1st unless its for a difference maker.

Thank You - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Thank you for the amazing 9 years

You could buyout Mrazek and get a cap charge of just over a million this season before it goes down to 800K next year. Goes up to 1.4 the following 2 years but IIRC the cap will be going up a good chunk by then.

Regardless they would gain roughly 2.8 million in cap space this year while surrendering no other assets.

Not terrible.

Absolutely awful for Toronto

Teams who don't make it out of the first round shouldnt be trading 1st rounders.
