<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>Like the Islanders trade a lot but it feels a little light. Ducks probably won't need the space for the next couple of years, but $6 million against the cap for two years is heavy for any team, even if the real money is far less.

Obviously I'd be cool with it, but unless there's either a better prospect included or some sort of retention</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Holmstrom was a first round pick last year + a 2nd rounder. Feels like a good deal for both teams</div></div>

The Boychuk trade as is only works because the OP has traded away Henrique and gained an additional $5 million of cap space by doing so. Without that, the Islanders would have to retain at least $1.5 million to allow the Ducks to stay under the cap with maneuvering space.

Sujet: 20-21 Leafs - What should have been
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>I don’t agree with the marner contract, no one does. But it is what it is. Should be 1-2m less. You can’t really compare him to bridge deals either. Apples to oranges.

Matthews is a beast. Literally the best goal scorer in the league. Is talented everywhere on the ice and has developed a decent two way game. You pay him what he wants or you take the draft pick compensation.

I love having Tavares. It sucks the cap didn’t rise like it was suppose to last year and then stayed flat this year but teams offered him more and he chose to come here for less.

Dubas is doing his best to build around the talent. Believe hawks were the last team to win a cup with top heavy players. Pittsburgh went through the same troubles to building around Malkin and crosby.

I’m excited for the leafs season every year. This years team might be one of the best teams we have iced in my lifetime. I have a really good feeling this season. But as always there is a high degree of luck involved in winning a cup. I’m just looking for the longest season possible and enjoying watching my team okay at a high level.</div></div>

And allow me to chime in with my two cents. Marner's contract may have an ugly cap hit going forward, but from today on, he's a $7 million per year forward, which is cheap for an All-Star.

Sujet: Florida
To begin with, Florida wouldn't trade their first-round pick in 2020 (Lundell) for a first-round pick in 2021even if it was guaranteed to be the 12th overall again, which it isn't. So leave those two elements out of this.

Now look at the players' respective contracts. Florida has paid Ekblad's $4 million signing bonus already, so that money would be lost to them. Furthermore, Ekblad costs them only $2 million more this year. In contrast, Laine is owed $7.5 million this year. Moreover, he's a free agent at the end of the season, when his cap hit and salary can be expected to increase beyond what Florida is paying Ekblad over the term of HIS contract. In short, a team with Florida's serious financial considerations wouldn't give this trade another thought -- and that's without even starting to talk about the wisdom of trading away their two best defenders without immediate internal replacements.

Sujet: Can the Leafs even add Weegar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan416</b></div><div>Or the Leafs can leave Hyman unprotected, Seattle will have the chance to offer him a deal, but he may already be unofficially signed in Toronto, allowing the Leafs to protect a different player without the chance of losing Hyman. It’s a risk, but one likely worth taking on a player who can be trusted, which Hyman is.

Possible loophole</div></div>

Yes, that's a possible scenario. Here's another one: Toronto leaves him unprotected, Seattle DOESN'T select him, and he waits a week to see what the market for his services is.
