That Buffalo trade is AWFUL for us.

Perron isn't leaving STL

Husso gets more

Buffalo says yes, even if they don't have a spot for Nylander. They can just turn around and trade him somewhere else for his proper value.

Can't see the Leafs doing that Buffalo trade, Sabres accept.

Kings still couldn't take that until they were officially out on Chychrun and the big UFAs. This means the Leafs would be waiting on the Kings and be frozen for a good deal of the off-season, which I don't see Dubas doing.

This is why we've been saying Muzzin to LA is highly unlikely.

Exactly

Hawks pass

Done deal, thanks

Hawks decline we have a log jam of RHD with Seth Jones Murphy Regula Mitchell if anything we will be trading a RHD not adding a bum like Holl

Think the Sabres can live with that one.

Yet again, the zombie Muzzin-to-Los-Angeles pipe dream. The Kings aren't interested in this effort to shed significant cap. This is about the fiftieth Muzzin-back-to-LA trade I've commented on this past week, so please take the hint.

Absolutely no interest in installing Jake Muzzin 2.0 even if he would waive his NTC, plus we could re-sign Alex Edler for less than Jake's cap hit, and we would probably get the same results without having to expend assets to re-acquire Muzz. I wish that you Toronto guys would stop doing this. It's like the Montreal guys with their silly Jeff-Petry-to-Detroit trades.

For the record, here are the figures for Edler and Muzzin:
Edler, 41 games, 3 goals, 19 points, +18, 52.1 Corsi, 54.4 Fenwick, would not cost more than $3.5 million to sign.
Muzzin, 47 games, 3 goals, 14 points, -6 , 48.1 Corsi, 47.9 Fenwick, cap hit of $5.625 million.

Need to get rid of Nylander to shake up core 4 and open up cap space. Buffalo will take him and give us a young RW prospect that is cap friendly. Replace Nylander with Perron who has way more grit than Nylander ever will and still produces. St. Louis has to sign O'Reilly, Kyrou, Tarasenko and Thomas next year. All will require more money and 3 of the 4 are right wingers. St. Louis can't afford to sign him and can afford to let Perron walk.

Husso is not a proven starter and in 3 seasons has never played more than 40 games. This is 2 million more than he's making now plus he's going to get starting time, if not, split time with a reliable back up.

Alex Edler's contract is up. He'll request more. He'll get more because they have cap space and LA has 6 defencemen to potentially lose/sign in free agency. My trade indicates leafs retaining 2 mill, meaning Muzzin will move for a 2 year 3,625 mil contract which will be less money for as you indicated - the same results. LA need experienced defencemen, they can let 3 of their 6 defencemen up for RFA/UFA walk, pay Muzzin, and he can easily slide in as the 4th best defencemen and will still have 7 defencemen. Plus Muzzin has roots in LA.

Oh, you're going to regret this post by July 16th.

I'll keep an eye out for it. What is happening on July 16th? Feel free to share.

Not "on" July 16th, "by" July 16th. You should make it a habit to read people's posts more carefully.

By July 15th the draft will have occurred, we'll know whether Toronto is able to unload boat-anchor Muzzin, and we'll see whether Edler signs for more or less than this year's figure of $3.5 million. I'm guessing $3 million tops.

Unload him to LA?
