I'm sure you had a good reason to delete the Chicago trade.

defense?

He did?

It’s updated now

Chill dog.. it’s updated now.

Barabanov?

Rotated in and out, Malgin is the extra skater they’ll carry if they come this close to the cap.

I dont think barabanov signed to be scratched...he can play 3rd line easily

I moved another piece our to try and fit him in but that’s really not his decision lol

finally a leafs fan that doesn't think that Andreas Johnsson is worth a first

Honest and open ended question to all Leafs fans. Why do you keep trading for Connor Murphy?

I’m not a Leafs fan but the fit is there.. log jam at RHD for Blackhawks and they need to clear salary if Seabrook isn’t LTIR’d. Honestly even if he is probably need to clear cap space. It gets more complicated with their RFAs and lack of goaltending

Good top 4 stay at home dman who is on a good contract, which is what Leafs are looking for. He’s a better fit than Pietrangelo or others on market. Think they target him or Cernak

Id rather Dermott than cousins.

Johnsson isn't worth a 1st but he's worth more than a 4th

No room for Dermott, should move him for picks/prospects or a cheap bottom sixer. Cousins can play any way any position + is a Sault St Marie alumni. I’d think Dubas would want him

Johnsson isn’t worth much more than a fourth with flat cap, his contract, and injuries. Maybe a 3rd but no more

Make sandin force his way in.

Make Lehtonen for his way in.

They have way too many dman at AHL level and that’s too much $$ in the defense. They’d have to sign everyone else at league minimum in bottom six

Kerfoot would likely have to be moved otherwise

I don't see either Mikheyev or Dermott getting over 2 mil on a one year deal.

Do this same roster. Pay Mikheyev 1.65
Pay dermott 1.65

That leaves you roughly the same amount for the third line w.

Put Robertson in whi should be there anyway and is on an ELC.

Boom. Ahead by 800k

That’s too low for both. Dermott gets at least $2.5 on a 2-3 year deal Mikheyev at least $2.0 on a 1-2 year deal

I don't see Mikheyev signing for more than 1 year.

He looked good but then got injured. He showed promise of a 4 million player. But with him missing the majority of the season he can't get it.

I see him signing 1 year for 1.5ish so that he can try to get 3-4 next year than signing for 2ish for 2 years

Dermott I feel is going to get squeezed hard to sign for 1 year. I doubt he gets much more than 2ish million if no term

I'm not quite sure why so many Leaf fans are so in love with Cousins.

I think you’re off base here.. respectfully

Time will tell. We'll have to respectfully disagree

(Thanks for keeping it respectful)
