Read Description My offseason hopes

Deal from the Leafs POV

I don't hate it from a Flames perspective but I also don't like it. 5 more years of Couture is scary considering his age and cap hit. Monahan is also not a cap dump, he will be healthy and at least your 2C here. Lucic would also not be a healthy scratch, he is still a very capable NHL player, just expensive. Doubt he waives and I would honestly rather swap Monahan for Toews if I had to choose a vet center

I did something right for once, lmfao. I was expecting to get ripped lol

Completely agree on the Monahan for Toews swap, It a much better deal for the Flames, but the Flames would probably have to throw Valimaki and or a higher valued pick to get him while having the Hawks retain 50% of his 10.5m cap.

I feel the easier way and potentially cheaper is getting Lucic and Monahan off the books this offseason because based off my own opinion I think if they are to resign Mangiapane, Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Kylington thats easily 25m+ maybe even over 30.
10.5 for Gaudreau
9 for Tkachuk
6 for Mangiapane
maybe 4 for kylington?

thats just what went through my head when I made the trade, Their is probably far better teams that can better service the flames with shedding cap. Just wanted to do the sharks cause they been gaslighting themselves for the past 2 years

I mean if I were to give a counter offer I'd ask for Riemer for Mrazek + 2nd, but a 4th for Riemer seems like a good deal for the leafs
