Speculation: Where does Ekblad sign as a free agent?

If Ek takes around 6.5, rather than the 7.5+ he seems to be asking, then yes we could fit all three in. I'm not saying it will happen, or that it's even likely to happen, but it definitely could and it wouldn't be a big surprise.
I don't see it... I'm not a cap expert.

-$19M in cap space.
-about 6 roster spots to fill.

How low do you expect some of them to sign of? They could get creative with LTIR of Tkachuk or trading away another roster player. But I don't see those players forgoing tens of millions of dollars in lost income to sign

I just said it earlier in the thread...

8 for Bennett, 6.5 for Ekblad, 5 with lots of bonuses for Marchand, 1.5 for Samoskevich, 800k for Nosek, 1 for Vanecek. Trade ERod for no salary back. 21 man roster .

Verhaeghe-Barkov- Reinhart
Samoskevich- Bennett -Tkachuk
Luostarinen -Lundell - Marchand
Greer- Nosek- Gadjovich
Boqvist

Forsling-Ekblad
Mikkola -Jones
Balinskis -Kulikov

Toronto

They will have alot of Cap Space from losing Tavares and Marner to UFA
He's an Ontario boy
They need a leader and big RD like him

Perfect fit
 
I don't normally believe anyone is coming to Toronto in free agency but I'm as close as I've ever been to certain that either Ekblad or Marchand goes to Toronto. Marchand at 8.5 x 4 or Ekblad at 8.5 x 6 or 7. They will over pay for one or the other.
