Leafs decline

If Lafrenière has that low value to PHI, I would rather keep Laffy if I was Drury. That trade just makes no sense 😕

Leafs decline

Maybe, it clears almost 7mil in cap space for NYR as they dump Goodrow for a 4th, so its a backup goalie, a 1st and 2nd for Laf, (Qualifying offers/Real production/etc... aside), which I thought was respectable.

Maybe, but Laughton is probably getting better than a late 1st, and dumping Murray is probably worth more than a 3rd two drafts away.

I looked at Villenueve (who is just Leafs 2nd best RD prospect) as a fairly weak price of moving Murray, (and PHI who is the seller wants/needs RD), so its Minten and the late in the round 1st for Laughton, which I dont think is atronomical, given the demand for Laughton and based on PHI getting overpaid/paid what THEY want.

So goodrow is a cap dump but Laughton is worth Minten and a 1st? Checks out

Never say never in this league - there have been some questionable trades by supposedly good gms like Chiarot, Jeannot, etc - but if Tre trades that haul for Laughton (a career bottom 6er) then I will have truly seen it all. Gonna say no chance

I dont disagree, but the same case could be used for the less physical but also bottom 6 forward Jarnkrot, who spent a great deal of time in the Leafs top 6 this year.

Yeah they just buyout Goodrow. Run it through buyout calculator and you'll it isn't the end of the world. What you offer is way worse

Barclay Goodrow buyout spans 8 years, has a cost of $10,066,667 and savings of $5,033,333. Goodrow is 30 years of age at the time of the buyout; therefore, the buyout ratio is 2/3. With $15,100,000 in salary remaining, the cost is $10,066,667, and the savings are $5,033,333. Buyouts span twice the length of the remaining years and because there are 4 years remaining in the contract, the buyout length is 8 years. The buyout cap hit is displayed in the Cap Hit Calculations table below.

You're gonna have to make it the Flyers' 1st for the Rangers to be interested. Rangers aren't shopping Laf so you need to give them a good reason to trade him.

I dont think based on his career so far that you get a 1st that high in a draft so deep, especially when a qualifying offer is a much cheaper option. Theyre not shopping him, but they need cap space somewhere and he hasn't justified what he'll likely get as an RFA to avoid the QO.

Maybe, but he has FOUR years at 3.6mil left, they'd be insane to buy that out, and still have a relative disappointment in Laf that they'd be forced to overpay to keep him away from Qualifying offers while getting some draft capitol back and retaining enough cap space to do another Tarasenko/Kane.

To Cap strapped, in their window now NYR, based on his age and production, yes Goodrow for a 4th is a fairly good deal for NYR. Laughton, who doesn;t need to be moved coming off a second career production number on a horrendous offensive club, who is cheaper and younger? Two different situations for two slightly similar players.

(Not to say, if hes willing to waive, that Goodrow doesn;t get a better return elsewhere, but based on NYR cap and rfa/ufa re-signings, goodrow is probably a dump for them in that situation).

If you dont think Laughton is worth a 1st and more, thats fine, it goes against rumours, but the leafs for 1 month of the much older Nick Foligno paid a 1st, 3rd and 4th.
