What does dubai do to get under the 722,000 cap overage if top 9 are set along with d and goal ,that leaves the bottom 5 and only Engvall is exempt from being claimed but is playing to good to be sent down I think

I think that mango gets traded, Nylander go’s on lw, Kapanen moves up to 2 line and Engvall slots in on the 3rd line, so the lines would be like:

Hyman-Matthews-Marner

Nylander-Tavares-Kapanen

Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Engvall

Timashov-goat/Spezza-Moore

I kinda agree with Johnsson might be traded, and whether it happens the season or the summer it's almost inevitable.
Leafs can't send Engvall to the minors just because he is waiver free. Sure looks like the Leafs need him NOW. So if it's Timashov that is waived and claimed...so what. You have made the (desperate) Leaf club better by keeping Engvall.

Timashev isn't enough cap space .They need to clear 722,000 he makes 674,000 . That's the problem I'm talking about ,to keep Engvall either moore or someone making more must go as soon as johnsson is cleared to play
