LA: Would've said no but then the Risto deal happened... Probably still no.

Carolina probably considers that deal though.</div></div>

The Nashville trade isn’t as far off as you have made it out to be. A first round pick and and A- prospect is a good starting point for a guy that is a UFA. You’re basically paying rental price for him. Sure Mikheyev isn’t a steal of a piece. But he is also not negative value like some seem to portray. He would give a team that is clearly on the cusp of a rebuild, a guy that can log some minutes and chip in 20 pts. Leafs maybe add a mid round pick (say a 3rd)

All that said, I don’t like that deal for the Leafs. I would rather not take on 6 mil in cap and use it to bring in 2 guys with top 6 potential that have maybe been lost on other teams.

Look at it this way on the now released lists.

PIT protected Matheson.
So lets say Seattle than takes MP.
You get MP at 50% retained. or 2 million. for like 3 years.
That's a steal. There is a cost to that.
That is why you're giving up a prospect.
So you protect a guy you wanted to keep in kerfoot....and you helped fix your defense, and fit it into your struggling cap with term.

You're not finding solutions like that and it costs you nothing.

I mean honestly, go look all over capfriendly and at all these horrible leafers ideas and unreasonable trade proposals and tell me this is some "crazy" idea.

You paid a 1st round prospect for 2 mil cap savings and what 4 years of a solid defenseman. That's not some absurd cost.
Nor is it an absurd cost to pay up a 2nd round prospect to protect the team from losing Kerfoot who they want to keep.</div></div>

What you seem to be missing is adding another left shot D man who would not play in our top 4 doesn’t mKe sense for the Leafs. Leafs are weak on the right side, not the left. If they were to move Rielly, maybe then something like this would make sense.

If the Leafs are making a deal where they send McCann to Seattle rather than protecting him it would be for a right shot defenceman or a goalie taken by Seattle IMO

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>the leafs defense is sad and pathetic. You have no cap space to fix it.
Come off with Dermott and Sandin are you're "solutions". They aren't.</div></div>

Stop, Sandin is 20 years old and projects to a top 4 D man. Dermott is an extra/depth piece. But NHL level depth guys are important to playoff teams. Dermott has proven to be a decent depth guy who can give you anywhere from 12-18 minutes depending on the situation.

I don’t disagree the Leafs need a little help on the blue line. But it’s not as bad as you make it seem at all. Matheson however does nothing to help them as I said. I can see Sandin putting up Matheson like numbers as early as this year. The Leafs could use one top 4 caliber right shot D man, potential is there via trade or even free agency, just need to make the moves to make it work.
