<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>Both teams kept their core. They added role players that helped win but in both cases the heavy lifters were the stars. Ovie carried the team on his back, he willed his way to the final. Kucherov and Point did the same. The stars win and the other guys are necessary but they don't win the cup. It's always the stars. TO has as good a chance as anyone</div></div>

Both those teams weren’t as cap strapped as the Leafs and had more room to add role players.. that’s the main reason why someone from the core has to be moved this off-season. You seem to be missing that point even though I’ve said it multiple times. I never said Nylander wasn’t good. I said the team needs to address other areas and in order to do that they need salary space.. only significant cap contract to move is Nylander.

At this point, agree to disagree. I’m tired of always going back and forth with you about Nylander because you’re in love with the guy. At this point, just stop commenting on everything I comment about him or just block me please.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>How long did Tampa? How long did Washington! Insanity is thinking moving a point a game top line forward on a fantastic contract for a couple of depth players.</div></div>

Cause Tampa and Washington won on offence alone? .. they actually addressed their defensive issues before winning. Something that Toronto can’t do with all the cap they have tied up in forwards, hence having to move one of them. So which one of the big 4 should be moved? Matthews? Not a chance. Tavares? Won’t waive to be moved anywhere. Marner? You’d be dumb to and not many teams can take his high cap hit? Or Nylander? The defensive liability on a sweet contract that brings back valuable players. Seems pretty obvious to me.

But hey if you’re happy with consistent early playoff exits and no cups (and you’re seemingly marriage to Nylander) then be my guest and plead to keep him.

For the record, I love what Nylander brings offensively. He can be dominant. But he defensive deficiencies hurt the team far more than what his offence helps. It’s time to move on from him. Not every player plays their whole career with the same team, and this summer seems like Nylander’s end in Toronto

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>1. ok so now you're up to $8.3m, so take away the $4.1m for an offersheet and you have $4.2m in space to fill 3 new position and cover raises.

2. no one wants a $4m goalie he's injured all the time and when he is healthy can't break .900%sv.</div></div>

1. $8.3m + $9.8m(ish) that they already have in cap space and and you’re at $18.1m at minimum.. I don’t see the issue there at all.

2. Mrazek is tradeable. He’s a NHL quality goalie that has ups and downs but has experience, those aren’t always easy to find. Ask Chicago. Ask Buffalo. Ask Arizona. etc. so there’s a market for him - Dubas even said so himself. &amp; just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean there isn’t value to him. He can be moved without an issue.

They’ll be fine.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>kerfoot and holl, yes. mrazek no. the leafs would have to move substantial value to trade him. so there's only $5.5m space with 2 more spots to fill and raises to cover. $4m for either one forces them to make a tough move.</div></div>

1. Leafs can easily buyout Mrazek and it’s a little over $1m cap hit.
2. It will definitely not take “substantial value” to move him. There are multiple teams in need of goalies this summer and Mrazek is actually well liked around the league. His contract is a favourable buyout after each season so it’s a low risk deal. He’s also the type of goalie who makes the timely saves, just allows odd goals. He’s the type to have a bad season followed by a good one (that’s his trend) - it’ll likely take a 2nd tier prospect and mid round pick to move him if they choose to. But it definitely won’t be anything significant

Sujet: For cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreHitzSeider</b></div><div>Palhal, you're one of the most knowledgeable Leaf fans on CFACGM. But this makes no sense. I understand you wanting the Leafs to balance the roster out. Nylander is a luxury. Not a necessity.

But I think Mrazek can be traded. It won't be easy. But few people thought Ritchie could be moved and Dubas pulled that off. As others have said, a buyout is possible. I just think you're short changing Willy's value here.

He could definitely get more value in a trade.</div></div>

He’s been saying to move Nylander for pure cap space for so long.. wouldn’t exactly call that a smart user at all. And this is by far the worst deal I’ve ever seen. Imagine thinking having to use a point per game player on a good contract as a sweetener to move $3.8m in cap for 2 years.. ridiculous.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrDinkiee</b></div><div>For moving a soft player in Nylander? Give me two 40 point players who can throw their weight around over a 70 point player who is afraid of physical contact</div></div>

No from absolutely poor defence and even worse goaltending.. Kallgren is nothing more than a AHL goalie and Husso is no more experienced or reliable than Campbell. On top of that, this bottom 6 would be eaten alive. Marchment is so overrated on this site that it’s not even funny anymore - he’s benefited from his linemates all season and Toronto traded him for a reason before (being his sub par skating ability that hasn’t improved) and they’re not gonna want him back. You’re 4th line is downright awful, you put a guy that’s an enforcer out with a rookie and a guy that’s had 1 bounce back decent year and is really mainly a defensive guy that doesn’t create offence. There’s nothing there to indicate that that line would do anything against teams except be hemmed in their own zone more often than not and with that goalie situation and defence it’s only gonna lead to more goals against.

Leafs have built their team around guys that push the puck up ice and create offence and every guy you’ve brought in doesn’t do that. This team would at best be fighting for a wild card spot unless Matthews, Marner, and Tavares all have MVP type seasons.
