Sujet: Mayfield

I think there's a little more that that than the way you phrased it.

Martin was being phased out of the lineup by Babcock, and was a player that Lou coveted for his big body and leadership, considering Lou gave him that 4yr $2.5M deal he signed to come to Toronto in the first place. Lamorello take advantage of a Dubas being forced to move a contract that Babcock refused to keep around and brought him back to Long Island with him, where Martin is not only familar with the team, but is still very much apart of that 4th line with Clutterbuck and Cizikas.

That trade saved Leafs some cap, yes, but the players involved made the Islander's better. Moving Mayfield who will be highly coveted would improved the Leafs D, not the Islanders.

Sujet: Giroux next season
Leafs will trade Mrazek at some point before the start of next season in order to free the capspace for a Campbell extension (which you're pretty spot on at $5.5M based on what I've read as well, though I believe the term is going to be 5-6yrs instead of 4.) That said, there is no way you move him to a team for a 1st and a 3rd, even if that team was desperate. I've always been a fan of his even before he came to Toronto, but this years numbers aside, he doesn't fetch that return even if this was 2 years ago based on his Carolina numbers. Goalies that aren't top tier don't fetch high returns in this current market anymore.

Although I agree with what's been previously stated about Kerfoot in this thread, he's not getting a 1st round pick. If the Leafs trade him, and I believe they will, he's going to be part of a deal where he is not only a big part of the return, but a necessary asset for money matching purposes if the team tries to go for a more impact name at the deadline.

Pretty close to the number's I've heard predicted for Sandin and Liljegren on bridge deals, but Kase at $2M for 6 years made me laugh. I think the money value would be there, though I think he may push for $2.5 - $3M annual, he's not signing a 6yr deal at that price point anywhere.

I think you get more for Holl than you do for Dermott.

Maybe slightly controversial opion here, but considering a 37 year old Patrick Marleau was able to get two offers over $5M AAV when he hit the market 5 years ago, Giroux who is younger and putting up better numbers is going to sign for more term and a higher AAV than 2yrs @ $4M per.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Apart from the Klingberg trade and the Seattle trade, the leafs downgrade.b</div></div>

I appreciate the feedback, but I have to disagree.

- I think Rakell is a better Top 6 option than Kerfoot, though it does open up another whole to fill come Free Agency.

- Vancouver deal is about playoff depth. Schenn most likely doesn't play unless or injury or a rookie Liljegren underpeformes in the playoffs, to which he brings a Stanley Cup winning experience to the team. neither him nor Dermott play major minutes down the stretch for the Leafs and based on the current depth chart, his days in the lineup may soon be numbered anyways. Halak brings necessary depth in case of an injury to Mrazek (likely) or Campbell, so I think this trade would actually make the team better for this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Who are some of the names not in your trades above that Tor would give up to shed cap and offer up shiny toys? Engvall etc. just wondering if Jersey can can take advantage of cap space</div></div>

Definitely Engvall if the price was right, though I think Leafs management has changed their stance on him being simply cap dump based on his play on both the 3rd and 4th lines this season, where he's seemed to have found his identity.

Other than that, Leafs could potentially part with Mrazek in this scenario if they believe Halak is steady enough incase of an injurt down the stretch, but I think they'd then need to find another NHL caliber 3rd goalie for insurance purposes much like I tried to do here with Halak and I don't believe (when healthy) NJD really wants Mrazek aside helping their current goaltending situation this season.

Sujet: Fantasy World Where McDavid is Getting Traded
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>If he demands a trade, and gives 3 teams that are contenders in his age group, who would that be. TO certainly is a top 5 team in his age range. Colorado would be as well and then I'd say the Rangers are as well.

The Rangers could offer a decent package but the cap would be difficult for them to manage without gutting their team. Colorado could offer up Rantanen and some futures sure but would they want to part with enough to make it worthwhile? In any event you would have a limited number of teams involved which would lower the return in a big way. It's not like he's going to demand a trade and then say Buffalo is where he wants to go.</div></div>

I think McDavid doesn't go anywhere if the offers don't start with Matthews or MacKinnon realistically.

Also, unless he refuses to play out his contract until he's traded (ala Ben Simmons), the return package would still be astronomical for him from whichever teams he's willing to go to.

That said it's not ++++ with the player mentioned above, but it is a massive haul if it does indeed happen
