Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Someone recently suggested that the Canes and Leafs should make a deal around these three players.

Why the Leafs do this: Adds a much more balenced attack. Rather than two top heavy lines, the Leafs can spread out the wealth more. Necas would be a fantastic set up man for JT and Robertson. While KK gets the chance to grow properly by playing 3C and 2PP time. Cap would have to be adjusted to fit Sandin in. Likely moving Holl out.

Why the Canes do it: Nylander is an elite talent and would work wonders beside Patches when hes back. The first line would be dominate with Aho and Svech while the second line becomes a much larger threat with Nylander and Patch. This also saves the Canes from paying 4.82 for a 4th line center.

Why the Leafs dont do it: Nylander value is higher than both Necas and KK combined. Leafs would likely want more back in the return, like a picks back. Leafs also would need to shed cap as well to make the deal work.

Why the Canes dont do it: It makes them a weaker team at the start of the year, as Patches will miss a huge chunk of change at the start. Nylander is also a couple years away from UFA while Necas will still be a RFA at the end of his deal and KK is locked up for 8 years.

Thoughts on the deal?
