I think the JVR trade is a bit of a dream, but I would do it, if it was contingent on the 2nd trade happening. But having said that, I highly doubt, even with the 2 1st roiunders, it gets you Doughty.

A Doughty trade will never happen unless Marner or Nylander are going the other way and I don't want to do that.

The leafs are most likely going to be a playoff team so the 2 1st will be late, Carrick is bottom pairing at best and Andreas is questionable so no from kings.

BUF: Ristolainen
TOR: Brown, Neilsen, 1st and 2nd in 2018

Ristolainen brings a big gritty presence to our back line which we lack and would be a perfect partner for rielly.

Brown is a great player who I adore but can be replacement by Kapanen. Neilsen is also a great prospect but Dermott is miles ahead of him right now.

Do u want doughty who is going to want at least 10 million a year @8 years if lilgejren turns into a player and dermott is decent and Neilsen ok are you not further ahead.

No. Also, there’s a salary cap in the NHL.
Matthews - 11
Marner and Nylander - 6-8
Doughty - 10-11.5

Gotta fill a full roster, that’s hard to do having almost 40 mil tied up in four players.

To bridge Nylander or Marner would be a mistake and cost a lot more in the long run.

Seriously, the leafs need to add at least another 1000 first rd picks.

Up until the CBA gets renewed in 2022?, player will be paid up front with ridiculous yearly signing bonuses on declining salary structures, that constitute 80-90 % of their contract to avoid clawbacks in 2022. A smart move for the Leafs to use as that loophole will disappear in 2022. McDavid's contract is a model that illustrates this point; huge signing bonuses (larger than his cap hit the first two years) and giving him NMC status only after the cba is renegotiated.

As for the Leafs:
JVR, Bozak, and Leo will have to be moved prior to the deadline, to get something for them and lose their cap hit. Not a chance in hell, that any of the 3 re-sign with the Leafs, the Leafs can't afford them. Lou would be a fool not to trade them, this season before the deadline, getting whatever he can for them.

If the Leafs bridge Nye and Mar for 3 years, their value after that will not rise as McDavid's does not and that's the new base contract against what all others are rated. Player play to their level.

That's why a 3 year bridge is a good deal for the Leafs on Marner and Nylander. This delays the departure of one of them and the club still has control over them during the negotiations for an 8 year extension.

The Leafs sign which ever one of them has performed better and trade the other for picks/ prospects.

I don’t disagree that the Leafs don’t resign any of Leo, JvR or Bozak. I think they simply let them walk after their playoff run however long or short it may be.
