these trades dont make the leafs any better and I can not stress this enough- having that much cap space is such a huge waste

The last thing any NHL team needs is Barrie extended for 30m. Leafs certainly don't want the LTIR Dubinsky this year or his 5.8m cap hit next year.

I honestly can't tell if these trades are a joke?


The NYR package might get them Rielly by himself.
Kapanen and Johnsson are both more valuable than Kreider as he's a UFA.
Shesterkin needs to play more than 7 NHL games to earn #1 goalie value.

An extended Barrie by himself is an overpay for Bjorkstrand.
Bjorkstrand is in his 5th NHL season and has a 40 point career high.
But Toronto should add Kerfoot + Bracco and take a huge cap-dump?

Andersen is easily worth more than a lottery protected 1st round pick.


OFFENSIVE UPDATES (2020-21)

Traded = Kapanen + Johnsson + Kerfoot + Bracco
Return = Bjorkstrand + $5,000,000 cap-dump

DEFENSIVE UPDATES (2020-21)

Traded = Rielly + Barrie
Return = Fox

GOALTENDER UPDATES (2020-21)

Traded = Andersen + Woll
Return = Shesterkin


Toronto gets worse at all 3 positions ... what's up son?

Columbus isn’t trading their leading goal scorer... we have no need for more defenseman coming back and Bracco is still an AHL player for us..

Leaf fans sleeping on Bjorkstrand. He’s dynamite. A top line sniper.

Leafs fans sleeping on Bjorkstrand.

I love the in depth reply. But he’s what I think. Shesterkin at 24 is way better then with Freddie 1yr left and I wouldn’t pay him. You can let him walk if it makes you feel better. Same with Rielly vs Fox. Keep Muzzin. Keep Dermott. Keep better D who are better at D. Fox will be A Pp guy with Sandin too. Losing Johnsson and Kapanen for one year of kredier hurts. But it gives the leafs more flexibility to play and pay Mikheylev and engval. And bring in Korskov. They have tons of cap space to add if they need.

Oh and leaf fans are sleeping on Bjorkstrand. To me he’s going to be a very good goal scorer if he’s with the right situation.

NYR says Woo Hoo...thanks!! As do the other franchises - you'd gut the Leafs with those moves.

Yes... that’s why Columbus isn’t going to trade him...

Buffalo passes

Kapanen is younger and better though ....
