Kadri gone v2

The trades are fine but the cap isn’t. 21 players and an. Underpaid marner won’t fly.

Its 2 x 8M....highest AAV bridge ever....

as for OP : with the 1st rounder you will need to hunt someone that has signed ELC at least over 2019/2020 to be Cap compliant.....and dont jump into safe zone with Hyman and Dermott on LTIR......keep them in cause makes no sense kicking ppl out after they come back...

It is a fine term/aav... probably more than he deserves. But he won’t sign it if he’s playing the hurt feeling’s card about how much money Matthews is making.

Toronto wouldn't trade Kapanen for those picks even if they were the 2019 version. The Maple Leafs need immediate help at RhD.

Something's gotta give here...
I can't imagine a team in the league offer-sheeting Marner only to give up four 1st round picks for a winger who isn't even a top 3 winger in the league.

This is why I think he either signs a deal that helps the Leafs (in the short term anyway) or....sits out part of the season and has a similar season to what Nylander just finished with.

I'm interested in hearing what @TanSor, @palhal, @blowing_the_zone, @Trickster have to say particularly about teams possibly shying away from the offer sheet idea and Marner maybe facing the decision to sit out part of the season vs signing a deal that works for the Leafs.
