The problem is Reaves and Kling are worth nothing to basically every team in the NHL. So you can't even just assume "any team for anything"

I thought Dubas was the issue in Toronto.... weird.

worst case, waive reaves and bury him, have the cap space with this to deal with it. klinger will get a taker with a mid round pick attached for sure if nobody wants him straight up

issues always been the presidents inability to not meddle

Waiving him doesn't relieve the cap though. He will still have a cap hit.

That's how I've viewed it from afar. Glad to hear a leaf's fan say it.

it mostly does. he has a cap hit of ~400k in the minors or something small like that. Wouldn’t be ideal but id rather than then have to watch his antics with horrible defensive play every night

It's actually better than that...waived Reaves' cap hit is only $200,000 until 25-26. A buyout would cost us $450,000 against the cap until 27-28. Trading Reaves would cost assets which we need badly after the last few years of trading so many away. Best thing to do with Reaves I think is waive him like Simmonds and Clifford. Leafs have bottomless financial pockets for situations like this, Joffery Lupul, Stephane Robidas, etc.

William Lagesson, Noah Gregor, Max Lajoie can all be waived without ANY cap hit.

Klingberg, Bertuzzi, and Domi are a different story and Klingberg is especially a liability for the money. I hope this works out....Go Treliving Go!!
