"From Within" looks at a 2020-21 scenario where the Leafs don't make any trades or free agent acquisitions this offseason beyond those currently signed with the Leafs. Instead, it tries to picture what the roster might look like with signings of key players.
I chose $85M for the salary cap based on the 1% inflator the NHLPA went with last season. It can range from $84M (0% inflator) to 88.2M (5% inflator).
The biggest uncertainty for me is the signing of Dermott, he could cost more, he could get more than a bridge deal, or he could be included in a trade to bolster the right side. I have him playing the right side next season.
Clifford is another wild card for me because of what he might demand as a FA.
This also assumes Mikheyev can return to his level of play after a serious wrist injury.
I have left a small buffer to deal with some of the estimates.
Comments more than welcome. I'm a little rusty at CF.
