Équipe: 2020-21 Maple Leafs de Toronto

Date de création initiale: 6 juin 2020

Publié: 6 juin 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Assuming no CBOs and cap remains 81.5 million for the short term.

Dermott extended during season, 3 million AAV for 5 years.
(See Petterrsson deal from Pittsburgh as comparable but less money due to less offensive ability)
Mikheyev gets same deal as Engvall due to games played.

I think Florida trade makes sense as Hoffman and Dadonov both expiring, and if not brought back to help shed spending, Johnsson is low cost add.
They have guys like Borgstrom and maybe even Tippet ready to go.


I think Lehtonen is underrated and dont see Dermott being traded right now due to the long term outlook on the D.

It is too soon to tell if Lehtonen or Barabanov will have future with Leafs beyond this season.

I'd rather Leafs not sign Clifford to deal to avoid paying the upgraded pick, not against giving tryout deal.

After the season is over, I feel Hyman will walk as UFA because of cap reasons and Kapanen used as trade bait for an RD.

Goaltending, the playoffs could determine if a short term extension is offered to Andersen. If doesnt play good I could see Andersen leaving as UFA once next season is over.
And that point Leafs will be forced to deal for goalie again just like they did when they acquired Andersen.

Expansion draft exposure =
FWs : Kerfoot and Petan.
D : Muzzin or Holl, I feel one of these will be asked to waive the NTC to be exposed but Seattle will be offered an asset to not select them.
G : Kaskisuo
