Sujet: EK65 - Go get him - JT to waive for this scenario What does everyone think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kman0101</b></div><div>I hear you but the case in front of you isn't a dream scenario for the leafs. There isn't a better scenario that I can think of where they improve next year.
The leafs HAVE to make a move. their failure is crazy. Also, trading 88/34/16 is CRAZY as well. if they trade 88/16, and keep 91 they are worse. people that say JT is still an 80 point player neglect to point out that without 16 riding shotgun, he is probably a 65 point player. The leafs know this. O'Reilly will put up 70 points if he had Marner on his wing.

I don't think the Oilers can make it work without serious retention from SJS... and this move allows SJS to have no retention (or very little) on EK (he just won the Norris, so there is an argument from SJS on why would they have to retain when Darnell Nurse makes 9M?), and then flip JT with lots of retention (increasing his value as a 2C at 7M...</div></div>

The Leafs basically need to run it back with a major addition to their D that is affordable or a player that fits better than Bunting up and down the line up.

If the Leafs can move Tavares, I think they would but it's not going to look like this. If the options are status quo vs crippling the team, you take option A every time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kman0101</b></div><div>EK65 just put up 100 points from the blueline on a terrible team... only 5 Defensemen have done that in the games history... will win the Norris unanimously AND he is available. EK had a gruesome injury and has finally fully recovered from it... if this is his peak, and he puts up 75 or 80 pts moving forward from the blue line... you are getting better value from him back there, than from JT up front, who likely moves to the wing becoming the highest paid winger in NHL history... likely putting up 60-75 points over the next two seasons (he won't have mitch to drive his point totals up)

Now is the time... it really is. My question is... if you could convince him to waive... would this deal make sense. I'm still waiting for a reasonable take. 25M in cap space to fill out the forwards still... and if you can bury Murray on LTIR... that becomes 30M</div></div>

i dont mind the deal. i think Karlsson makes a lot of sense for TO.

Murray' cap hit doesnt hit the $24M because you have him on LTIR. I think LEafs still have a ton of work to do though.... I do think you want McCabe and Liilgren as your 3rd pair so you need 2 add two top 4 D and a #2 Center. This team is a SC contender with O' Riley as the 3C
