Devils are not trading 2023 picks. It would have to be a trade after free agency starts (so after the draft) as the Devils would only do that with an extension.

If there is an extension, would you do it?

Why would you trade nylander and then turn around and sign 34 year old killorn to that deal? Thats terrible

You trade Nylander to sign Bertuzzi LOL

bunting is gonna get around 5.5 or more. too low on bertuzzi too.

Or you keep nylander and sign bertuzzi and dont give bad contracts to perry and gudas and the team is significantly better

We aren't extending Nylander regardless so why let an 80 point player walk to free agency when we can get something in return for him and Perry at 775k is a bad contract LOOL?

Nope, he will get around $4M or perhaps even less

Yeah, they'll just extend nylander

Nope, a past-holdout will walk just like when he held out for over 200k until the very last minute. What's going to happen when the Leafs offer him $6M or $7M again while he is asking to get $10M. He is as good as gone, better get something in return for him when you can. May not be much, but it's better than nothing

not gonna happen but good luck.

If you even bothered to look on here, The salary cap is already predetermined at $83,500,000 for the 2023/2025 NHL season.

And LOL on the Bertuzzi signing, He's not signing that cheaply. Try closer to 7 x 7 to 7 x 7.5. And Detroit will resign Bertuzzi and then deal him later for a better package and it wont be from Toronto.

Alright, coming from a Habs fan. You would know that Bunting breathes Toronto, he is one of the few players that plays for the crest and not for the name at the back of the jersey

Bertuzzi is leaving Detroit if you like it or not, if he wants $7M, Leafs will be more than happy to offer it. Detroit doesn't have much leverage in any Bertuzzi trade unfortunately

So far as I know, the cap increasing by $2M isn't possible - it increases by $1M each season until the owners are paid off then it will go up per the 50/50 revenue-sharing agreement.

ive heard the same about hyman. campbell too. mikeyev wasn't going to leave because of a soup endorsement.

no player is leaving that money on the table especially one who never had a big payday.

Hyman already took his hometown discount, Campbell asking for $5M for 5 year and for someone that isn't from Toronto, I'm glad he signed with Edmonton behind that defense. Mikheyev requested a trade before and no one cared if he stayed or not. If Bunting wants $5M or $5.5M, Leafs will be more than happy to pay it. However, he is the few that plays for the crest and not for the name at the back of his jersey

Nick Paul also never made a lot of money in his career but signed an extremely team friendly deal for 8 years at $3.1M

7 years. nick paul isn't as good as bunting, his career high is 20 points bunting scored 63 last year. that's only worth another 850k?

He held out because he wanted more term and security because his dad was traded and had to sign in different places so much when he was growing up.
He'll re-sign easily

Leafs don't need that type of culture in the locker room, if you are good with the Leafs replacing Matthews with Nylander when Nylander asks for $10M or even $11M, then go for it

Yeah, who wants the culture of wanting to be on the team as long as possible? Loyalty sucks right?
Why is nylander asking for 11 million? Does he become a 100 point player before then? Because he's never been greedy or asked for anything he didnt earn

Like a sign and trade? They can't even do that until after the 2023 draft.

No, what I mean is that the Devils talk to Nylander about an extension before trading for him. If he says yes, would you do the proposed trade that I made (the three picks)

A sign and trade happens when a team wants the player to sign for 8 years than 7 years

But you can't confirm a contract until one year prior to the end of the contract. Anything prior would have no guarantees. So no.

I get what you are saying, but I don't feel you are understanding the timeline. A sign and trade could ONLY be done after July 1st, and the 2023 draft is before that.
