LTIR

i mean id probably do that as an islanders fan. But, I am a big Amirov fan so IDK how others would feel. If we are sellers at TDL this would make a lot of sense.

I think it would be in poor taste to trade Amirov right now

Amirov has ZERO value right now

However, if Amirov later this season is all clear and playing well (he was the Leafs 2nd best prospect until the cancer), then he does have some value, not sure its that high, and still think it in poor taste to move him but its possible.

But doubt Amirov even once cleared and playing well will have enough value for this deal, (chances are it'll be another season to get back on track, if ever).

And again, its all based on Muzzin staying on LTIR to make any of this work under the cap, and its unlikely he'll stay on LTIR

Gotta top the Josh Manson package for Mayfield (very similar players+Manson fully retained still cost $600K more than Mayfield's full cap hit), and I don't think a late 3rd and a prospect who hasn't hit the ice yet are enough to do it. Hirvonen & a 2nd is what I'd target, and I'd throw in full retention to give you extra cap flexibility around the deadline.

Manson had a much greater reputation than Mayfield, so getting a 2nd and an okay prospect is more than you'll get. Maybe a 2nd total is fair. I know you Islander fans want a 1st plus but it's not happening.

NHL GM's do crazy things for RHD, Ones making 1.45mil would get a 2nd and good prospect. I think the Leafs only make a move for a dman if they make a coaching change.
