I would simplify this as Holl + 1st, or something along those lines. Flip Kerfoot for a 2nd or 3rd to a team that needs help and free up a roster spot for Matty Knies.

Come on bow both these guys are barely NHL level. Kerfoot is a decent 4th liner and Holl isn't a NHL calibre dman at all. The spare parts after the big

If any of those guys had balue they'd be gone already
What does that say about the 4-5 defensemen that play less than Holl on the Leafs? And the defense is carrying the team. The spare parts after the big 5 contracts just aren’t up to creating offense.

Pretty funny OP is trying to unload Holl actually. Just a complete lack of awareness of the Leafs.

I don’t know the value of Murphy is he worth $4.4m? If people are thinking he’s a top 4 D he must be at least close. If he’s worth anywhere close, a 1st won’t be near enough for 4 years.

Your Worst Nightmare
If the Leafs already have Muzzin on LTIR permanently and Murphy is his replacement why are they "dumping" players to make cap room at the expense of young assets? You'd think they'd keep them for depth purposes or exercise asset management and trade them for draft picks.

He is American so it's a distinct possibility but as a rental destination it would be odd for the Leafs not to be a top 10 choice.

Murphy is under contract for three more seasons after this one and thus would not be a rental.

Chicago might be motivated to retain for higher value though. He'd be a nice add for your Oilers too. Could be a bidding war.

The price of retention on three more seasons would likely be more than you’re willing to pay.

My team isn't in that position. You'll have to talk to the Oiler fan I quoted.

I'd like a bigger shake up if we were going the Chicago route:
Marner -10.903M
Holl -2.2
Engvall -2.25
2023 1st
2024 5th and 6th

to Chicago for:

Kane =10.5M
Murphy=4.4m @50% retention =2.2M
Domi =3.0m
Regula = .866k

really? Kerfoot would have been 2nd on the Habs in scoring last season which is pretty good for a guy who averaged 15 mins a game, got no PP time (averaged 7 seconds last season) and is on the top PK unit, and is used in a shutdown role

Chicago says no.
Find someone to take Marner and send something Chicago wants instead.
50% retention for 3 years after this one on Murphy would cost the leafs a lot.
Taking Holl requires sweetener.
The 5th and 6th are meaningless.

5 pts in 16games this season, weird right?

Maybe cause he can,t leach of Nylander, Tavares etc. this year heh? Pull out his most common linemates last seasona nd you'll realise he was just playing a top6 roll leaching of PPG players.

FYI, got them for you
1405:1832.5JOHN TAVARES - ALEXANDER KERFOOT - WILLIAM NYLANDER2523223621752.142039651.5
2101:408.1JOHN TAVARES - ALEXANDER KERFOOT - ILYA MIKHEYEV514544952.4929250.0
390:467.3JOHN TAVARES - ALEXANDER KERFOOT - MITCHELL MARNER954435743.0949549.7

He played most of last season in a top6 role than a 3rd liner.

Where is Kane going next year if we signed him? I feel we need a shake up . Kane is what Marner wishes he was, Murph adds solid top 4 D with some grit,..Domi has more edge than Kerfoot, and Regula although young is no slouch in the D depart with tons of upside.

But you go ahead and tell me if we are garbage now or a team that wouldn't be better off with those add -on? Nevermind we still have a few other players that we could also trade for to stregthen our team even more imo.

Kane won't be resigning with the Leafs and even if he does he's in his 30's now and maybe has a couple elite years left. This move is so short sighted and heavily favors the Hawks. Stick to NHL 23.

Why wouldn't Chicago want a young Marner , a 1st and a couple of back to back picks that may seem meaningless UNLESS you understand their philospy of tearing it down and accumulating picks.

Taking Holl may be their Sweetner if you look at it in the realm of them trying to tank hard for Bedard?

This propsal is a way to start the process and ya,..They would also want Knies to possibly seal the deal but it is not that far off imo.

I see a ton of leafs fans saying no to Domi. Thats interesting I feel like he would be a good depth piece that could cause some havoc for you guys and move up the lineup with injuries? No?
