<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spaceman</b></div><div>I wouldn't be surprised to see Maatta moved but it will happen next summer if it does. It will all depend on the play of Edvinsson, Wallinder and Johansson. All three of these guys will get looks this season, Edvinsson 100% will see time in Detroit. Wallinder and Johansson depending on their play in Grand Rapids. Johansson was scheduled to come up to Detroit for a 9 game stint last year but got injured right before his call up which was very unfortunate. I expect his call up this year. Wallinder has only played 1 game in North America thus far so if he gets called up it won't be until the end of the season after the TDL. Edvinsson will have 1 more year max in the AHL and then he's a Red Wing in 2024/2025. If one of Wallinder or Johansson show they're NHL ready. Maatta will be moved to make way.</div></div>

This team is 2024-2025 so it’s assuming Wallinder makes it by the time he’s like 23 years old which is realistic

Sujet: The core 4 player who actually needs to go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spaceman</b></div><div>I dunno if they would. Tavares at 11m is crap but at 9m, this would actually be a good deal for the Avs. With MacKinnon and Tavares they'd have a formidable 1-2 at C. We saw how badly this team missed both Landeskog and Kadri this year. no Landeskog again next year. Newhook is good but he's not at that great level yet. He may never be. Avs defense is alos arguable the deepest in the league with Makar, Towes, Byram and Girard. They won the cup without Girard too. They could honestly afford to lose him and still be very good on the blueline and win another cup.

Leafs on the other hand just need balance on the ice and the cap sheet. Girard on D would help them immensely and at 5m for the next 4 years. Newhook would be a good top 9 forward for them and the money saved on JT would help bring in another forward.</div></div>

i agree with all of your thoughts on the avs - except for Tavares as the solution. The avs cannot give their 2C 9mil. Period. If you were to do this ACGM from the Avs' perspective, they are in a bad position now and in long term. There are other 2Cs that provide enough (not as much as Tavares) production for ~60% of the Tavares contract, and I expect the avs to lean in that direction, or at least someone like Kuznetsov who starts below 7.8 with the caps probably incentivized to retain on.

Also, I don't think they're giving up on Newhook yet. Team control + solid point production compared to his peers. At ~$2mil bridge deal, he's a great value 3rd liner that could see time on the 2nd.
