<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeBigCoch07</b></div><div>He’s also a very capable Center, idk where you are getting just a winger from he’s very versatile. He’s definitely not a negative player. I’d say a 2nd is fair value for him right now but because of teams situations we would probably get a 3rd for him which is still fine</div></div>

Oliver Bjorkstrand's averaged 28 G/82 GP over the past 4 seasons and only brought back a 3rd and a 4th. Cap space is golden right now, and teams aren't going to be lining up to spend a pick on a middle-6 guy with a $3.5M cap hit - especially when it's obvious that Toronto needs the cap space to run a full roster. I don't think you have to *pay* to move Kerfoot, but there's no way you're getting back a premium asset for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Explain why I would be? We have a lot of LHD to develop to see what we have in them, and our 1LD spot is locked up long term. Is he a good player? Sure, when he's healthy. Is he going to help the Ducks do anything over the remaining two years of his contract? No, most likely not.

We don't need more veteran presence on the D, half of them are. We don't need a 2LD from outside the organization, and we certainly don't need to be tying 5.6 mil up for the next two seasons.

Oh, but see, Toronto DOES need to dump cap, and there's what, 4 or 5 teams who can realistically take Muzzins contract? You see the miscalculation you Leafs fans are making is assuming Muzzin should be as valueable to us as he is to you. He is massively valueable to you, he's not worth the 5.6 million to us, because he doesn't get us anywhere. But the cap space he does occupy, that's VERY valueable to you. That's the ability to resign Sandin, and the cap space to go and pick up a rental at the deadline to try and break the curse.

You are buying 5.6 mil in cap space for the next two years, that's why you are sending the draft picks, or a prospect we like, with Muzzin. Or you can try calling one of the other teams who can take his contract without sending cap back the other way, but they will tell you the same thing.</div></div>

You are not going to develope your good young prospects into top NHL players if you do not surround them with quality veteran leaders like Muzzen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsradynasty</b></div><div>Mr. original poster serious question \. Why does Muzzin who by all accounts has wanted to be a leaf his entire life , is and has a NTC just waive it ? He paid for it with either AAV, Term or both so, whats in it for him to waive?</div></div>

I see it a bit similar to the McDonagh situation. There’s loads of respect, but the reality is dollars and cents plus giving someone younger/cheaper an opportunity from Leafs perspective. Of course Muzz does have the control here and is entitled to have it based on the reasons you mentioned. Some of the reasoning he would agree to waive for Ottawa in particular: not too far from TO, so still close to family, is a bit familiar with DJ Smith from some time spent together with the Leafs and IMO he has a legit role there and Ottawa could do some damage in the next couple of years. I know what I penciled in probably doesn’t happen, but felt it was a deal that could benefit all involved. Sens shed salary, gain an able d man and keep a first rounder and Toronto acquire a major dice role of a goalie, but have the 7th pick as insurance if Murray doesn’t pan out, also allows opportunity for Sandin. Who knows?! Next couple of weeks will be interesting to see how Dubas manages his crease in particular! You’re right though, Muzzin holds the cards.
