Pretty reasonable overall; not sure any of those trades fly but 🤷🏻. Not a fan of Pesce but $ & term is reasonable, all things considered.
Keep focussing on the Leafs; we’re not the most popular team in the league for nothing 👍.

a little over the cap....
...and laughed at by the flames. not even close
...and by pesce, not even close.

if this team wants to be different and better, they just have to move one of the core four.

There has much too much love for Bertuzzi lately. He's worth about 4.25m, but LWer are "easy": to find. I"d put that $$$$ into a 7th NHL Dmen. Webber, Niemela and Kokkonen have to start the year as Marlies. Maybe they ready to NHL regulars in 25/26. Minten certainly is a Marlie in October. Domi gets more $$$$

Agree on Bertuzzi - easily replaceable (in house, Knies) if demands are too high. I wouldn’t give Domi much more than $3M tbh. He signed 1x$3M last year; understood cap is going up (5.4%) but his production in 24 was worse than 23 (reg season & playoffs) so don’t think he gets too big a raise. If he “wants” to play here, he’ll take a hometown discount with term or he can walk too. Just my two cents.

Caps pass
