I would assume Copp and Compher will be just fine in that role in 2 years, so no room for Kampf.

I would love to see Topi learn behind Letang and Karlsson, but he will be stuck behind them until 2027. Too high a price for a guy who won't be able to shine. Pens would be better off using that for a young forward.

Seems like so many think the Leafs should be noticeable older with long term contracts.
Knies is better than 2.2m, and I imagine you've underpaid other Leafs RFAs.

Placeholder trade, they'll get a 4th from someone for him who needs him for that purpose. But yeah, so long as they play all two minutes, you got no worries.

2 year term. He has plenty of time to increase that before he is UFA.

You're not just getting Topi there, you're also getting Kokkonen. He's been doing quite well for Toronto this year. It is likely any forward you get with a mid first round pick in 2026 (remember it is top 10 protected with 2027 rollover as indicated in the notes) is three years away, so you are looking at 2029 before you get any returns on that.

We don't need another LD. That's one thing we have in the system.

This is CapFriendly when do the other teams needs matter???

Could easily sub in Ty Voit for Kokkonen.

Kampf is the type of guy you'd have to pay to offload. It's not that he's bad, he's just expensive for his role.
