Leafs laugh and hang up.

It is beyond me how Leaf fans get branded as all delusional when this is the normal nonsense from Islander fans. Leddy worth a 1st, hilarious. Boychuck getting you Hyman? Seriously? All trash, all of this and not remotely close.

Leafs don't want and certainly can't afford Boychuk even at 4.75. Leafs can sign a better UFA at 3.5m...and then trade a winger for assets than take that trade.
Jersey can spend 5.5m on a UFA, keep their pick instead of trading for Leddy.

Hahahahha what the hell is this? How do people not know what the leafs need at this point? Hell, even if they needed a lhd, boychuck doesnt get you hymans extra pair of skates let alone Hyman

leaf fans here acting as if Boychuk wouldn’t be the third best defenseman on their team

It's quite simple to understand, he wouldn't be.

Actually that should have read RD where Boychuk has played his entire career and yes, he would be better than much of what they currently have on their roster. Salary wise they would pay him nothing this season, and the cap would be 3.75 million when taking Hyman off. Hyman is entering his contract year and will demand more than either the Leafs are willing to pay. Of course the deal makes sense

Boychuk is worse than Holl, the guy a bunch of people have been trading for next to nothing



I don't think having Boychuk playing depth minutes for 5 million is in the best interests for Toronto.

They would be paying him nothing in my trade for 2020-21 and Holl is the only RD you guys currently have for next season who warrants minutes. You will go hard after a top liner I am sure and Boychuk would be penciled in as a veteran presence for 15-17 minutes a game

They could pick up a younger UFA for 4 million to play those minutes and not have to sacrifice Hyman on top of it.

That is 4 million more than what you would be paying Boychuk this season (and anything else past another year).....read slower maybe?

Also, it doesnt have to be Hyman- I suggested him because he is in his final year, coming off back to back 20 goal plus seasons and will be too rich for the Leafs after the season

I'm talking about cap hit. His contract will be 4.75 million against Toronto's cap.

The Leafs aren't hurting for actual money.

Actually 6 minus 2.25 is 3.75 (minus Hyman) and minus 1.25 (Islanders retention) is a 2.5 cap hit.

And all clubs will be hurting with cash flow because of the pandemic....including the Leafs
