new found cap space Let me know your thoughts I can take it

Just what Toronto needs to solve their RhD problem -- a fourth-pairing LhD behind Morgan Reilly, Jake Muzzin and Travis Dermott! And it only costs the Maple Leafs a third!!

Wait, Ceci half retained worth 2 2020 2nd round pick ????

You have the right idea. I’d love for the hawks to demand more 1st round picks for eating people’s dead space and helping them open cap to get rentals for playoff runs.

Always love getting more picks by why would teams slide us a ton of them just to take guys on expiring, if expensive deals?

Unless Seabrook is done for good (he very well could be), I think the space is going to waste. Maybe they claw their way back into a playoff spot and go after a rental at the deadline (Toffoli?) but I highly doubt that at this point.

As a Leafs fan, if you want that CBJ 3rd, there can be NO retention. That pick has more value than the return you have suggested. I think I pass on this even without the retention. Not worth it from a Leafs perspective.
