Sujet: Remember the days when it didnt cost your first born to acquire a defenceman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Let's try to use our imaginations here and maybe break from the same train of thought that has been used time and time again. I do not want a marquee player, they all will cost wayyyyyyy tooo much in assets that the trade will be a loss. I don't like losing trades, so I am tempering my expectations and looking for a cost effective upgrade over Hainsey. It won't be a higher end player. More like a 2nd pair guy who can skate well enough to not hold Reilly back. Everyone on here hears people say the Leafs could use some defensive help and they immediately want a block buster. Those trades aren't going to work out well for TO. Defenceman cost too much right now and it would be a trade similar to the Hall for Larrson trade (I don't care to hear anything about Hall is way better than Nylander, that isn't the point).</div></div>

Let's all just take a breather...

The point I was trying to make is that I don't think we can upgrade over what we already have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>The Leafs have a top D man in Rielly. They don't desperately need one. They need an upgrade over Hainsey, someone who can actually keep up with the speed of the game. I have no thirst for guys like Parayko, Pietrangelo or Brett Pesce. Those guys will cost WAYYYYY more than they are worth and I refuse to overpay when a more cost effective route could be taken. I'd honestly rather trade for Connor Carrick than give up a kings ransom for a "2 or 3" defenceman (which is a ridiculously vague classification) So what could the Leafs acquire at the deadline who would be an upgrade over Hainsey?</div></div>

Why not just play Dermott with Reilly, and Hainsey with Oz?

Sujet: Realistic Nylander Trade- Read Description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clark</b></div><div>there is so little cap savings, about 75,000, it's insignificant if signed in November.. what will boesner want if they see 20 goal scorer Nylander getting 7.5m. Horton's contract only affects the leaf this year, and since the rosters are set, the leafs wouldn't be added money away. generally players on LT IR do not affect a teams cap at all.</div></div>

The Cap savings is $339,862 after Nov 1/18 before Dec 1/18. <a href="https://twitter.com/CapFriendly/status/1045315053539545088" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/CapFriendly/status/1045315053539545088</a>
Not a lot, but it might make the difference in resigning another player (IE Kapanen).

LTIR starts after the start of the regular season, meaning Horton has to be on the Roster game 1 (or so I hear). So effectively, the Leafs have to start the season with a max Cap of $74,200,000 + whatever the Cap increase for 20-21, and 22 players on the roster.

Also, we can't forget about any Bonus $ overages that might be carried over to next season.

Sujet: NJD Enough for Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Newanda</b></div><div>This might be old thinking, and as a Devils fan, but I made the trade with Vatanen instead of Severson because of Severson's size. Due to the fact that the Devils already have Vatanen (5'10" 180lbs) Greene (5' 11"190lbs), Butcher (5' 10" 190lbs), and Ty Smith (5' 11" 175lbs), hopefully Smith will playing in the NHL soon, the Devils already have a undersized D-group and got pushed around at times last season. Personally I would rather add more onto trade with Vatanen then to lose Severson.

Also you a probably right about Nylander getting paid more, but I didn't put too much thought into that and just used whole even numbers.</div></div>

I forgot that Vatanen was RHD, to be honest, so I would take the original trade.
I would rather have Severson for the same reason you want to keep him, but also because he's younger and is locked in for longer.
Most people would argue that Vatanen is the better player, but I feel Severson is a better fit for the Leafs current needs.
I would even drop the 3rd if it made the deal work.

Of all the trades I see on this site, I must say that this (your original trade) is actually one of the best in terms of value for both teams - thank you.
