I predict johnsson gets traded for a d or backup goalie. But closer to his return date in case there’s another injury. They haven’t been playing like they miss him at at all. Hyman, Mikheyev, and engvall have been great on the left side and can’t see engvall being sent down as a cap casualty when he’s clearly earned a roster spot

If all are healthy ,this is what the lineup would look like. So how do we get under the 722,000 that were over the cap. We can't send timashev, Gauthier,or Spezza out to get below the cap as they alone don't make enough.
We would have to send 2 ofbthem out but that would leave a bare 20 man roster. Engvall would get us under because he makes 925,000 ( but deserves to stay) moore could be moved 775,000 to get under cap and then we could keep 2 players for a 21 man roster.
Or let's ship off ce I 4500,000contact for a cheaper dman and cap space for maybe a goalie upgrade Is there any other way to get under cap and not go to only 20 players

Engvall is going down to AHL....its that simple...no need inventing hot water....

Yes him or kapanen but Cecil would be better big cap hit and can get a 3rd pair d for cheaper and then maybe a back up Engvall deserves to stay he put his time in too

Show a trade where the Leafs can get a better Dman the Ceci, (who has been playing OK( that doesn't cost the Leafs so much that it hurts the Leafs overall team. Don't know if I have seen one in the hundreds of "trade Ceci at any cost" trades.

Pretty much any trade that involves moving Ceci out is a better scenario for the Leafs. He sucks and he makes too much money. If ANY team wants to bite on Cody Ceci he should be moved in a heartbeat. Sandin and Liljegren are both better options at present.

Those are the facts.

Yes bring up sandin after jr tournament and you still have room on the cap to grab someone like Pitt did a few years ago with hainsey or Washington with kempney. It's not that Cecil is that bad but 3rd pair d don't make 4.5 mil Use the money to keep our forwards add a backup and a dept d man behind sandin that could now be called up with the new cap room after world Jr's if Cecil is gone even if we have to sweeten the trade
Its cap management more than dumping on Cecil we need cap room
