Big win for the Bruins here

Rakell is a good player, I just don’t see the fit. Where does he play?

I think that's more than we'll get for Josh, but not enough for Rickard and far, far below Silf's value. Among other things, I believe that during the Detroit game, Ahlers or Hebert mentioned that he's in the top 10 in blocked shots among forwards; he's still a good defensive player.

The Leafs aquired jake Muzzin for carl Grundstrom (ahl) At the time, Sean Durzi (2nd rounder) and a 1st round pick. Muzzin is certainly a better dman thenManson. Dermott is a everyday NHL player. This is clearly close to proper value for manson with salary retention. However i believe that Dermott and the 1st get it done.

Kesler provides zero cap relief for the Knights. They’re not going to send a 2nd just to shed a salary they traded to acquire months ago.

should have made that manson trade 2 years ago when the leafs would have actually said yes but not today

I heard them say that too. I didn’t realize it at all

In technical terms he does. the $5 mill from Dadonov comes off the books. Then placing Kesler on LTIR would provide them his full $6.8 mil in "cap Space" (think of the Kucherov method TB did last year). So in theory, it would relieve $11 mil. Something like that. (that is my understanding)

Yep this was my exact thinking.

That's fair

Me personally, I would ask for Karlsson and no picks. But I know that would never happen. But realistically, it would be Reilly Smith coming this way due to the MNTC Dadonov has. (if this trade ever happened.)

Not how it would work in this situation. Acquiring Kesler would not help Vegas’ cap issues. The Kucherov situation was different. That route would be akin to Vegas keeping Eichel on LTIR until playoffs (which isn’t in play).
