I think this would work if NHL GMs would actually use offer sheets. Listed picks for moving Dermott and Holl not important in this proposed scenario - although as seen with Nate Schmidt, GMs aren’t willing to help others out too much. A lot of people don’t think that it’s wise to move Dermott but in my opinion, Sadin, Liljegren, and Lehtonen all have a higher ceiling than Dermott and there is simply a log jam with the presence of Mo and Muzzin. A cap hit of $3m for cernak allows for Engvall to be moved in and out of the lineup for any player in the bottom six (I have him listed on LTIR to manipulate cap). I assume the leafs are going to run with a minimal roster for cap reasons this year. I also doubt that there is going to be an AHL season so shuffling players up and down will be very easy and creates almost no need for the leafs to carry additional players to each game. I would love to see this as Cernak is very sound defensively, a big body that hits hard, and best of all, he isn’t as important to Tampa as Sergachev or Cirelli - so he would likely be the victim of cost-cutting. Let me know what you think.
