Quoting: Lambo2565
1st for taking on Murray. Now what are you willing to pay for Schmaltz?
Market was set when leafs only had to slide down a few spots to get rid of Mrazek. I figure leafs could flip their first and murray for a second.
In Arizona, he is bought out so Arizona saves $$. Plus Schmaltz AAV may be 5,850,000 but his cap hit the next three years is 7,500,000 then 8,450,000 and 8,500,000. I do not see Arizona wanting to pay that considering the lack of income coming into the team. Steeves would be a cheap depth piece for the team.
Perhaps losing the 4th would help with that but I am feeling the number of teams willing to take on contracts where salary is higher than AAV is low so TO would have some leverage.
