Highly doubt they get those deals. Both will be bridged until Brodie and Muzzin are off of the books on their current salaries, and I doubt either makes more than 1.5 mill per year during that time.

I expect Lilly to get a deal super similar to Dermott, and for Sandin to get a mid-term deal like Rielly did once upon a time

Not unless Sandin plays significantly better than he has to this point. Sandin is not close to what Rielly was at the same age. I think he gets Dermott's current deal.

i hope the leafs try to lock them both in as long and cheap (under 2) as possible. neither is worth more 'yet' and with Lili playing less, there are higher odds of him taking a longer lower cap hit deal, just for the security

Way too much for Liljegren. Dermott didn't even get that and he played for like 2-3 seasons with the Leafs. He's not getting above above 1M on a 2 year term. 800k is a big deal. I suspect he'll just accept his QO and that will give him around 900k or something... not 100% sure.

Sandin is a little much too but 4 years... I can maybe see it.

I suspect the team would have a better chance at getting Sandin to commit to a longer term deal now than Lily.

Would potentially be worth it if the price was right.

Though I suspect management will go short term and cheap with both. They'll want to pinch as many pennies as possible over next 2-3 seasons
 
As of now, Sandin is not showing any signs of being a top 4 Dman. The reason why he is on PP is bc Leafs don’t have other options or would not try other options.
Same with Lilly.
Both of them will sign a bridge deal for around a million.

I could see a $1.2M-$1.5M×3 for Liljegren and a $1.5Mx2 or $1.8Mx3 for Sandin on the table at some point this year depending how they progress.

Sandin will get the PP time to boost his numbers but it would set them up well to take the Muzzin/Brodie money down the road.

If I'm Liljegren I take the one way deal all day.
 
Had a buddy at work who likes to talk about trades and what not and he made a trade proposal with Anaheim that involved Marner and asked my opinion. I didn't know how to feel because my opinion might be biased because I loved watching Drysdale in the OHL.

Marner
Kerfoot

Rakell
Comtois
Drysdale

I didn't think the cap would work with Kerfoot involved but I had no idea Anaheim has like 12 million in Cap Space atm. On paper imo it looks like a good trade if Comtois and Drysdale are NHL players but I Don't really watch the Ducks. Rakell is Rakell and we all know what he brings to the table.

Take the trade and run... Comtois is a 6'2" LW who put up 33 points in 55 games last year with them... was their top scorer and 93 hits. Plays a physical game, and has size. He's not had a good start this year, but has no chemistry with Getzlaf. Drysdale is a 19 yo RD, former 6th overall, playing 21 minutes + a game already... and of course Rakell... Rakell you'd have to be able to talk to about an extension first though.

It does work. I do think Anaheim is the best fit for a Marner trade if it ever happens. I suspect they have ZERO interest in trading Drysdale though. He's a star in the making already and a huge part of their future.

They'd probably give up 1st/2nd rounders and/or a prospect like Perreault. My trade proposal basis from a few pages ago was:

Marner for a 1st, a 2nd, Comtois and Rackell. Change the 2nd rounder for Perreault maybe. Re-sign Rackell to a ~4M cap hit deal.

I would prefer Groulx over Perreault, but that looks like a good return for Marner.

Was just looking and saw that Holl has a modified ntc lmao

Hard to see a path where the team gets better next year. Muzzin has a NTC, Brodie has a NTC.

Really the only guys who can be moved to open space are Kerfoot, Ritchie, the 4 forwards and Holl I guess. Mrazek too, if they can find a cheaper replacement.

The path to improvement has been the same for a few years - development of the internal youth. Dubas bet that Matthews, Marner, and Nylander would continue to get better. He also bet that guys like Sandin, Liljegren, Robertson, etc would improve and take important roles.

Kerfoot has a modified NTC after this seasons done too.

He has a 10 team no trade clause... meaning there are 21 teams we could trade him to. Hardly a barrier.

At the end of the day, NTCs are easy enough to get around. It's usually guys who are signed to multi year deals and are settled in the city try and use them to block moves (like Kadri nixing the trade to the Flames).

A guy like Kerfoot isn't going to care if he knows he's not getting another contract with the team

I would want at least 2 firsts one unprotected this year and top10 protected the next year. They can keep the 2nd rounder
 
I love how everyone assumes that every leaf with a NTC is dying to stay and will block any trade


But are also sure Matthews leaves the first chance he gets.

Tell your buddy this is splendid work and Leafs might be hiring soon :sarcasm:

On a serious note this is 100% the type of trades I envision IF it unfortunately comes to the point Marner has to go. His trade value is a kings ransom once that final bonus is paid.

I remember John Ferguson Jr. confidently (well as confidently as he could) answering that he didn't think there would be a problem trading any of the Muskoka 5 if that was necessary in the future.
