So yeah this is just another Petro to the Leafs Armchair but this one was made with PASSION! I'm telling you it was so hard to not trade Marner through this but I found a way somehow, hopefully this wasn't too OP for the Leafs side of things but who knows.

Quickly to explain the Petro signing, the reason why I think the Leafs can sign him to a lower cap hit than his market value is because of the available money MLSE is able to dial out to players from day 1. For example Tavares was signed to 77 Million dollars and he got 70M of that on the day he signed the contract and will be payed 1 million in salary for the 7 years of his deal to make up that remaining bit. So in a similar way I can see the Leafs being able to use that same money advantage to bring Petro in to a 49 Million contract and pay him 42M on day 1, allowing his money to grow faster.

The rest of it was just trying to fit it all under the cap, I could see Mikheyev's ask being more than just 1 Million but he *is* an RFA which gives the Leafs more control in that situation and his injury cost him a lot a possible asking price

Johnsson and Kapanen were let go because there was really no choice if I wanted to make the Petro signing work. Hopefully the value seems fair to you reading this.

And I think that's about it! Feel free to rate or tell me why this is bull****!
