I really like the roster you put together here - adding Copp, Anderson, Simmonds up front and Tanev, Hjalmarsson on D would be a significant upgrade, and likely a slight improvement with Keumper in net.

Some of your trades and signings are a bit optimistic though:
- Josh Anderson will probably cost more than Johnsson + 3rd, if it was a 1st maybe it makes sense for Columbus. But either way the contract situation for him is not ideal - the 1 year deal you propose walks him into UFA and a longer term is going to significantly increase the AAV. I could see $4.5m x 3 years making some sense for both sides, except the Leafs probably need to sacrifice somewhere else to fit that in.
- Arizona trade looks reasonable, love the idea of pairing Hjalmarsson (or Larsson from EDM) with Sandin on the 3rd pair to help him develop with a Swedish vet.
- Winnipeg will not be keen to part with Copp, the trade seems reasonable if you are high on Dermott, I just don't think the Jets pull the trigger on it.
- Tanev probably gets north of $5m unless he really wants to take a discount to play in Toronto.
- Simmonds probably gets something closer to $2m. Leafs should only offer league min, I think he probably ends up going elsewhere but anything could happen!
- Mikheyev best case scenario is probably closer to $2m x 2.

Hard to fit all the more realistic AAV's under the cap, and need room for at least 1 more roster player, so something would have to give!

Sujet: OEL for Eriksson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OlegP</b></div><div>Math is hard

Eriksson makes 1 million in base salary. Bonus this year is paid. 6 million cap hit

Baertschi makes 2.4 million in base salary. No bonus. 3.366 cap hit

Ekman Larsson 4 million in base salary. Bonus is paid. 1 more bonus remains on a contract that stretches 7 more years.

Arizona saves 0.6 million this year. The Yotes don’t care about the cap hit. Vancouver do care so they can fit OEL contract. This makes the deal a possibility. Forget even the real money here for now.

Following season in 2021 and beyond… This is what makes Arizona happy!

Baertschi contracts come off the books. 0$

Eriksson contract in final year. Bonus is 1 million and base salary is 3 million. 4 million total

OEL contracts really kicks in 10.5 million in base salary. 10.5 million dollars for a team with no money.

Arizona will save 6.5m in real salary

2022

Eriksson contract is gone. Hoorah. Zona is very happy.

Arizona saves 10.5 million in real salary in 2022 and so on..

Please tell me how this doesn’t help Arizona financially?

Math is hard</div></div>

Thanks for spelling this out for me, this was my thinking exactly.

Taking on $3.4m and $4m in bad contracts for 2020 and 2021 is not so bad in the context of getting out from the $54m still owed to OEL. Plus they get a 1st and a former 1st prospect.

Arizona doesn't have any leverage here - it is between Vancouver and Boston and I can't see Boston giving up their 1st when they could resign Krug at a similar/lower cap hit while retaining assets. Hard to imagine OEL starting next season with the Coyotes after all this, they are running out of options.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Wow, so bad for Toronto to get one year of an average Dman. Now Johnson for Larson could be a fit.
Leafs would be 100 times better off....Offloading Johnsson for a 7th rounder, keeping Liljegren and a pick and signing a player like DeMelo for under 4m</div></div>

Oilers will want a prospect and a pick for Larsson, that's the going rate for a RD who can play in your top 4. Liljegren and a 2nd seems fair - maybe it's a 3rd that turns into a 2nd if the Leafs resign Larsson, or maybe they agree an extension with him before pulling the trigger on the deal.

You say Johnsson is only worth a 7th rounder (which is maybe a bit harsh but he's not worth a lot), so I see him as a good throw-in to get the Oilers to pull the trigger, since we'd have to dump him anyway.

Seems like a lot of teams want DeMelo, he's going to get bid up in the UFA market and I can't see the leafs winning that bidding war. Larsson is a better fit - like a right-shot Muzzin-lite.

Sujet: Kuemper Larsson
Trying Muzzin-Rielly for a few games mid-season didn't really give them a chance. Run with that from the start of camp and give Muzzin a chance to adapt to the right side.

Agreed Sandin might not be ready for 'top 4', but playing with Larsson will help him develop and Dermott-Holl is a solid 3rd pair that could take more of the defensive assignments against second tier opponents. Lehtonen could take Sandin's spot with Larsson if he's not ready. Main thing is I think you need 3 solid pairs with a balance of offence/defense and experience on each. Rielly needs to work on his defensive game against top opponents to prepare for playoffs - they can't win with him being sheltered in an offense-only role.

Kuemper won't come cheap. I think of it as downgrading our mid-first rounder for an early second, while upgrading Anderson to Keumper with an extra year before UFA.
