Some overpays - Some underpays - Can Grier get a W this TDL

The leafs just dont need to do this deal, McMann fits well on our current 4th and if we need to really get out of a cap bind we will just waive reaves instead of giving up picks

I enjoyed this. I don't see Philly biting for that little at the draft. The point system or whatever scoring for draft picks is a bit skewed in my opinion. Also Jiricek isn't available that late.

Please no team help TML out of the Reaves or Kampf contracts.🤣

You clearly put a lot of thought into this so I commend you for that. I just can’t see the caps moving that first unless we’re getting a young stud in return. I am personally 60/40 that we’re missing the playoffs, so it’s more likely to be a decent pick imo. Not that you don’t think the same thing, it just doesn’t help us much to add Granlund right now despite the retention.

All things considered, I don’t think the Canes will need to move Raanta. If he doesn’t improve over the rest of the season, they can just waive him and send him to the AHL for 350k, which is very manageable since the Canes are projected to have about 8mil in deadline cap space (after whatever cap accruing calculations are used (witchcraft)).

Now based on the assumption, and the assumption that Freddie ends up returning in less the than a month as projected, I think it’s inevitable for the Canes to run 3 goalies for the remainder of the year. If they end up really turning their eye to the goalie market, I would definitely expect Kahkonen to be their top target.

My only suggestion to the OP for amending the trade, would be Kahkonen and a the 7th for a conditional 2nd (conditions being if the Canes win the cup the Sharks get the best 2nd the Canes have for 2024; if they reach the SCF and lose the Sharks get the worse of the 2 seconds the Canes have for 2024; and if they only make the playoffs (ECQF-ECF) the Sharks get a 3rd and 4th round pick (don’t care what years, but preferably not the same year)). Would that be something the Sharks consider?
