Not sure why youre worried about the leafs cap? but I would argue that in the current cap crisis it would be of great alleviation for the leafs to be able to trade 1 player and get back 12.5% of the teams cap as well as a decent haul coming back for one of those players and still have 3 superstar forwards

He’s not worried just making convo.
Who of these 12.5% cap do you target?

He’s often here making conversation. To be honest though, this is one of his less trolly efforts.

That would depend on what the other team wants and what theyre offering, but an obvious target would be a right handed D.. if youre forced to make a move trade from your strength to help weaknesses

The Leafs aren't the only team in cap trouble but with 4 players sucking up 1/2 their available cap space they are in bigger trouble then most teams. They need better d-men and a good goalie if they can't afford to resign Andersen. They may have to trade one of their big three to try and receive pieces back that could address their weaknesses. This won't be popular but may be necessary.

Nylander for Parayko.

Suck it ZZ

We don't need Parayko because we're trading Kerf and Johnsson for Risto!

Dubas won’t trade Nylander. He gave him his word and I highly doubt he’d go back on it. He’s going to ride or die with this core, IMO.
- Byfuglien Ate Me

Lol.
His word lol.
No gm has ever done a 180 on what he had previously said.
No gm worth his salt would ever say or stick to that.

Every GM on the planet in every sport would sell their soul for 2 wooden nickels if it got them what they needed or wanted...

They exist to lie.

That is too vague. Fitting in a 10m+ F isn’t easy let alone getting top RHD in any trade. It’s simply rare & highly unlikely. In todays cap world any blockbuster are becoming more rare than rare for any player. I see big contract signings as players being locked up til they expire. Teams commit to core players & add to them.

As long as we're getting rid of Kerf and Johnsson and landing a legit RHD, I'm all for it!

Well 1st off I didnt say a top D, I just figured since we were discussing being forced to shed some cap everyone would understand that trading a top player for another top player wouldnt make much fiscal sense? That being said if I'm a team and I have a chance to land a superstar for a second tier player +, my bet is every GM is gonna try and make that deal happen

Lol all you want. Dubas is a forward thinker that cares about his reputation. Can’t see it happening.

Stop trading Nylander.

He’s put himself out there for years without facking up. That stunt was stupid, but it shouldn’t cancel the guy, IMO.
