If this goes through, you can say goodbye to Matthews and Marner. Edit: I'm an idiot who can't read. Sorry

This assumes a $75 million cap. There is serious talk of it going up to $80,000,000 in the 2018-2019 season. Trading Marleau and Stasny (assuming this pipe dream high cap hit / low term contract even works) would leave nearly $20,000,000 for Matthews and Marner.

However, there is a good chance overpaying on Carlson could lead to other cap casualties in Kapanen, Dermott, Brown, and Pickard. Though at that point it may be a better option to ship Zaitsev out, as 4.5 million for a bottom pairing guy could be an easier way to free up cash.

good news for all parties.....these deals don't go through. rhn is solid player and worth a lot more than the expiring contract of gardiner. pesce is a real good dman, who might not be traded for rhn straight up, and in this post the canes gives up two top picks....ain't happening.
leafs or no team is going to pay statsny 8.5m. and why does Carlson sign with the leafs when he so many more options at 7m

Stastny is too much for his age, the Chicago and Vancouver trades are not happening, Other than that it’s fairly solid.
