<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markmws</b></div><div>I agree: His camp thinks he deserves the same as Matthews, and regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, he has outscored everyone on the Leafs (You could make the argument that if Matthews was healthy and available that he would have outscored Marner, however that does not hold much water: Players NEED to be available. "What ifs" do not play in a salary negotiation).

This is probably the best job I have seen someone do with trying to tackle the Leafs cap issues. In this scenario, they're still around $4.9 million over the cap, so they'll have to trade Kadri and/or find someone willing to take Zaitsev, and money cannot come back. Larsson would look great with them: Great job! :)</div></div>

Thank you. As mentioned above, Horton will not count against the cap while on LTIR. Also Zaitsev has requested a trade out of Toronto. There might be some hope for more money for Kapanen and Johnsson if they can offload Zaitsev.

Sujet: If what I hear from you guys is true
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vortex</b></div><div>the leafs can actually keep all 3 if they sacrifice player including the following (not including expiring UFA's): Zaitsev (would be a hard guy to trade and what we would get back wouldn't be great but we could include him in a multiple player trade), Brown (can trade to replace gards or zaits if he's traded for guys like Benning, Forbort, etc.), Kadri (He has great value being a great player and a low contract, we could adapt Nylander as a center and have him traded to fill bigger holes on this team), or trade Nylander (Very very low chance of happening and might not be a smart move but would give the Leafs some breathing room). Of course, we might even trade one of kappy or Johnsson which would break my heart but I'm willing for anything if it keeps this superteam together.</div></div>

While trading Brown might be possible, Moving Zaitsev would have to happen at the draft, and the way I have been seeing people comment on Zaitsev, he may well be immovable without serious blackmail material. So many people keep saying how they don't like the proposed trades I have seen with Kadri or Nylander. This group seems impossible to satisfy...

Sujet: I have a feeling
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenks</b></div><div>1. You would need to take the MacArthur + Garboik LTIR contracts for Melnyk to take on Zaitsev.
2. Johnsson is already as valuable as Larsson and he's our best left wing. Dubas and Edmonton would say no.
3. Petan can't play 4th line center. If he makes the team it will be as a winger on one of out top 3 lines.
4. Chiasson got 22 goals this year and he's only 28. Someone will give him 2 million plus for 1-4 years.</div></div>

1. I can live with that. Macarthur won't count against the cap either.
2. I'd still like to find a way to keep Johnsson if possible. I don't think Edmonton will cough up Larsson, so there's the money for Johnsson.
3. I just don't see Petan as a successful fourth liner either.
4. I'm guessing that we could get someone from the Marlies for that fourth line if Chaisson is not an option.

Sujet: My playoff lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>You know Babcock is NEVER, going to sit Zaitsev right? Like literally never, he's the most stubborn coach in the league. And I would say Zaitsev is still a better option than Ozhiganov... I agree with the forward lines tho.

One thing is pretty clear IMO, for this team to have any chance at all against Boston Reilly is going to have to play 25-30 minutes a game and play them damn good. Gardiner is going to have limited effectiveness based on his current health situation. Dermott and Muzzin are also going to have to play some of the best hockey of their lives to give the Leafs a shot... And the obvious, Freddy is going to have to be the best player on the ice. Sadly, it doesn't look good...

IMO</div></div>

I agree with that. I also think you'll need to get Reilly and Muzzin working as a pairing to take some load off Hainsey. Dermott has to be ready to play top 4 minutes if Gardiner struggles in his recovery.

Sujet: Trading Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>sure. and I read leafs fans saying, ohhh, Matthews won't get much more than the Eichel deal. That's the best comparison. He won't get close to McDavid money. 8 years and 10.5. Then he gets 11.634 for 5 years, which, in reality, is far more than McDavid money seeing how it only buys out one UFA year. And then you have Marner, who doesn't miss games, has outproduced Matthews, and pretty frequently looks like the leafs best player. Why is he going to take so much less than Matthews? Out of the goodness of his heart? Keep in mind that the reported price for Matthews for an 8 year deal was 13.8. I agree that he'll take slightly less than Matthews, but if it's going to be 10.5 million, it will be 5 years. Here is how I see the options shaking out, at least from the Marner camp perspective.
1 year: 8 million
2 years: 8.5
3 years: 9
5 years: 10.5
6 years: 11
7 years: 11.5
8 years: 12</div></div>

Could 1 year for 8 then in January extend it at 8 12's work for him?
