<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>By this strategic plan, you've upgraded from Justin Holl to Connor Murphy, but you've exchanged one year of Freddie Andersen for one year of Antti Raanta. I'm not sure you've improved the team.

I don't think that in this environment anyone is going to give you a second for Alex Kerfoot, let alone a second and another pick. That's too bad, because I think he's worth it.</div></div>

I would suggest Kerfoot is a very similar player to AJ, both are about the same size, same cap hit, both 3rd line forwards, produce about the same amount. Only differences is Kerfoot is a center (with a sub 50% face off %) and not coming off a serious leg injury. With the current NHL landscape, I don't think a team would give up very much for him, they could get a similar or better player than him on the market this year, most likely at a cheaper cap hit. We saw the return that AJ got, should only expect a slightly better return if Kerfoot gets traded this off season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Can_Fan</b></div><div>Johnsson had 8 goals in 43 games (he was hurt last year) and Lehkonen (who is a player I really like) had 13 in 70 games. I just think it is a little offensive upgrade on Lehki's production and would be pretty cheap to get. You could always offer him up to Seattle if you're unhappy with his production (and get to keep Lehki and Armia)</div></div>

Lehkonen doesn't play the PP (where Johnsson got most of his goals last year) and doesn't have a center like Matthews to carry the play and draw attention away from linemates. Lehkonen also doesn't have near the cap hit. Johnsson is not an upgrade by any means, and more realistic trade proposal is Johnsson and a very high draft pick for Mete. Although I doubt Montreal would be interested in Johnsson. Montreal trying to get bigger, tougher, and more scoring (something Johnsson does not provide unless Matthews comes with him). The fact he was hurt last year just drops his value that much more, his only real asset is his speed and he had a major leg injury. At this stage, he is strictly a cap dump for a team that MUST shed money just to be cap compliant for the new year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>It's not close and we would never accept this deal. Domi is a small, soft, locker room cancer whose about to be on his 3rd team in 3 years, while mantha is about to become one of the top power forwards in the league. You can say whatever you want, we would never accept Domi as part of a return for mantha.

We aren't looking to trade mantha either, this means that if you want him you will have to significantly overpay, and domi is not it</div></div>

Detroit has every right to ask for an over payment, especially if they don't want to move him, but utterly ridiculous to say that the value isn't close. Domi has out performed Mantha each of the last 2 years and plays a tougher position than Mantha, even so I would have no problem saying Montreal has to add something. But a first in this years draft and a 3rd next years swings this deal to an overpay by Montreal if anything. To have you say this proposal is not even close for Detroit shows that you are either a pure homer or just not very hockey savvy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I am not sure you are correct. Why? Because the pandemic has wrecked so many teams operational finances. Perhaps he'd be interested in a short term heavily bonus style contract. Does anyone think there will be a normal season this winter? I don't, how do teams pay bonuses in that case? Some teams will refuse to give bonuses because they just can't afford it while they have zero ticket revenues. TO doesn't have that problem, maybe they can say to Pietrangelo that we will give him a handsome 2 year deal with Max bonus money, then he can find a long term home once the economics are better. A lot of guys may look at that. Over half the teams in the league are looking to go below the salary cap next year. Money is scarce.</div></div>

Your reasoning is sound, but also plays against Toronto signing AP. Because money is scarce and teams can't afford to spend to the cap, who is Toronto going to move to make cap space? Teams won't want to trade picks (which translates into cheap contracts over next few years) and with the cap not going up, teams will want to trade dollar for dollar on the cap. Realistically Toronto still needs to free up 9 - 10 million of cap to sign AP and replacements for bodies moving out. What team or combination of teams will eat 10 million in cap space?
