how about no? ok, deal.

paul marner, is that you?

Possibly kerfoot, and a couple more kids for Kieth, make it a crazy blockbuster, and a speed up of Chicago rebuild

would need to lose 5mill in cap space so Holl would be out as well too maybe.
sandin, liljegren, etc. are untouchable but a B-grade prospect + a 1st?


Kerfoot, Holl, a B-prospect, plus a 2021 1st round

Lol. And Chicago retains 5M per year for 3 more years. Just 5M..lol. What can u do with 5M anyways..?? Lol. What a joke.

thats the price to gain +2 years UFA of Marner & +1 year UFA of Nylander for their rebuild

A truly terrible idea for the Leafs (as is using Toews as a winger) that won't even get you any closer to a Cup.

Would be kind of like the Rangers load up of 80s Oilers for there 94 cup. It’s kind of interesting, but could back fire large if there’s no cup.

What?? to retain 5M for 3 years..lol. No team does that, ever?? What are u talking about. You know what 5M / year gets you in the NHL. No one retains that much money. In the history of the NHL. But they will so the Leafs can get u see the cap. Sure!!

Fire up the time machine! We're going back to 2015!

lets talk NYR with 13mil on the books this year
or if VGK wants to trade Flower, how much salary they'll have to retain? 2-3 mil sounds about right?

nylander will probably out perform his contract by 1 - 1.5mil by the end of it.
marner would probably meet expectations

toews and kane will under perform their 10 mil cap on their last years probably.

so yeah i still stand by the salary retention.
draft picks can go either way to balance the scale.

get out of here with your nonsense. you dont even take a sniff at this deal starter if you are chicago? the position chicago is in vs the position toronto is in? whatt???

oh the rebuild afterwards would be worse than the ballard era for sure. would bring 10 years of darkness. AM34 would probably end up leaving and lead a 5 cup run dynasty in Arizona for the Yotes.
tavares would waive his nmc and request a trade (thats how bad itll get). dubus fired. babcock comes back as dual role gm/coach like patty quinn. it would be rough.

but, im all for the chaos and gamble for 3 years of excitement. (rather than 5 years of stability)

Stan Bowman isn't retaining on both Kane and Toews, And both teams say How About No.

Real irony would be if the hawks knock off the leafs in the cup final, in one of those three years of excitement
