1) Sign Radko Gudas for 3mil per (give or take).

2) Johnsson, Dermott(sign and trade), and a 2021 2nd rd pick to the Rangers for Deangelo.

3) Nylander to LA for a 2021 2nd rd pick, 2022 1st rd pick and Trevor Moore.

According to CapFriendly the leafs have 4.5mil in cap space for 2020-21. Now shed 6mil off of the Nylander trade, and 4.2 from Johnsson/Dermott (14.7mil). I would expect Deangelo to get around 7.5mil on a longer term deal. That leaves 4.2mil after the Gudas signing to sign the remaining leaf free agent forwards or depth free agents.

Recap

Out: Nylander, Johnsson, Dermott, 2nd rd pick

In: Deangelo, Gudas, Moore, 1st and 2nd rd picks.

See if Montreal wants to part ways with Max Domi, who is RFA, this offseason. His father Tie played there, so there are ties. He' the kind of physical, young and talented player Toronto needs up front. Then sign another physical forward and d-men.

Leafs are painfully light on RD. Subban could help, but 31 year old PK and a 1st (assuming it's the 2020 - 7th overall) for 31 goal-man Nylander is an overpay, even if NJ keeps 1/2 salary for PK. Nylander can fetch a better deal. Carolina is deep in Dmen and light on RW and their goalies are garbage. (1): to Caro - Nylander and Freddie Anderson, to Tor - Dougie Hamilton and a 1st this year (#7 pick). (2) - sign Robin Lehner as a UFA. (3) sign Alex Pietrangelo as a UFA. Move out contracts to make the Cap thing work, lots of young guns on the Marlies to fill the holes created by the cap dump.

Yuck. You sure, man?

The Ekblad idea was a better one, for sure. You may even be overpaying a smidge, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do

#1 trade Marner and Justin Holl to the devils for PK , Zacha, and miles wood.
#2. tarde Andreas Johnnson and dermont to the oilers for Ethan Bear and chiasson
#3. sign Radko Gudas 3 yrs 2.75per


First trade is almost even cap for even cap. leafs get a top pairing guy for Riley finally along with 2 quality middle 6 fowards and some much needed grit with miles wood

trade 2 is about freeing up money. johnson at 3.4 and dermont whos an rfa probably in the 2.5 range so around 6 mil goes out for chasion 2.1 and bear whos an rfa probably in the same range as dermont 2.5 but is right handed which the leafs desperately need and save 1.5-2 mil in the process

lastly sing the big nasty penalty killing machine in Gudas giving the leafs 3 right handed dman and d pairs something like this Riley PK, Muzzin Gudas, Sandin Bear...a huge improvement a 3 left and 3 right handed d...

The loss of marners offensive should be replaced by Pk, zacha, wood, and Robertson. these moves alos improve the leafs overall team depth which just wasnt strong enough

The Leafs can’t fix this mess. They had their window but signed Tavares. Great player. But they already had 1C and 2C in Matthews and Kadri. The 6mil savings would have gone elsewhere
Now with COVID19, expensive players like Nylander, Marner and to a lesser extent Kapanen and Johnsson with get you 50 cents on the dollar.
The only move is to fire sports boy Dubas and start over. The cast of Glee are not going to win the cup.

Realistically, move Marner for a legit D man. Move Nylander for defensive depth. Sign or trade for a goalie.

I’d say keep Marner and move JT for the D man but that contract takes so many teams out of the mix.

- hereticpride


Has to be Marner, JT has a NMC

1. Nylander to Nash for Ekholm and a 2nd. (Savings of 3.2 mill)

2. Kapanen to Anaheim for Manson (Could be a pick included one way or the other) (taking on 900k in salary)

3. Sign Toffoli with money from Ceci leaving (4.5 mill)

Overall, the leafs replace Nylander and kap with Toffoli’s production, which could be a wash. They get a RD and a LD for a solid 2nd pairing. All while lowering their cap hit by 2.3 mill.

- Djmbrown



Well we have a winner for craziest.

1. Nylander isn't worth Ekholm straight up nevermind for a 2nd as well!
2. NO WAY Kapanen fetches Manson.
3. Sure but I doubt Van lets TT go.

make calls on UFAs Braun, Hamonic, and Tanev. See about short term deals. I'd guess they'd be less than Muzzins deal but somewhere in and around there. Shorter term preferably.

Even see if Buff has a year or two left in him.

Theres a couple of RHD.

Then I'd have a look at Manson. Hopefully just a Johnsson + to get him.

Another to look at is Pesce. Carolina is loaded on the backend and at some point they'll need to make room for their young guys in the A.

Another depth RHD is Bortuzzo. STL has a loaded backend and time will tell what happens with Pietro but Bort would be a nice addition of toughness on the backend.

Those are the D I'd target that seem like they could be available.

Also I'd play Sandin full time next year. Have him on PP1 or PP2. Rielly running the other unit.

Ya you’re right. A guy who scored 31 goals isn’t worth a second pairing D.....on a team that GOT BEAT BY ARIZONA......

Instead of being a troll what’s your suggestion then?

No way Kings give up the ‘22 1st; especially if they’ll be a lottery team. Kings would be stupid to give up that pick and give up a chance at Shane Wright.

So easy. I'll do it in 1 move. Relocate to Oklahoma City. Fans wont care, pressure's off and they don't have a 50 odd year tradition of losing to live up to. (really, that celebration they had a few years back for the 50th anniversary of the last time the team won something should have been anything but a celebration). Get em out of Toronto and they'll thrive. That market crushes its teams.

Yah, that's why the Raptor's won last year because they got crushed....what a joke

Surprised if so many Marner inclusions...

Would Leaf Fans go for something like

Marner for

Ristolainen, mittelstadt, and next years top 5 protected first rd pick

Maybe some other moving parts but that would be the meat

- doctordizzle

Marner is not and should not be going anywhere....may be a little overpaid but how do you replace a top play maker, top power play guy and a top penalty killer.....would be real dumb getting rid of Marner.....thought about it myself but re-thought that my thought was dumb on trading Marner
