Everyone needs to stop trading Horton. He is a key part of this core. But seriously, trading him makes zero sense.

It actually does make sense for next year. read up on how LTIR works.

No way Anaheim trades their second best defencemen for Zaitzev and a 1st.

Leafs 1994 hates prospects and top 9 forwards and think they hold no value, don’t listen to him.

Horton needs to go by by, I accept any trade with him in it.

Nice to fantasize about but can't see Murray doing something like this.

He copy and pasted the second trade from an article. And now people talk like they know something about LTIR. The idea is to trade the two players who are both on LTIR because Bolland has a smaller cap hit. This would mean the leafs could spend more cap in the summer because they are only allowed to be 10% over the cap in the summer, including players on LTIR. Once the season starts you can’t be over the cap (unless you then put that player on LTIR and the removal of their cap brings you back under ceiling) .

It makes a small amount of sense to do it. But, I don’t think it is worth trading any assets whatsoever. After Nylander is signing we will have around 7 million to spend while staying under the cap. We could spend up to 15m in the summer (7m + 10% over cap) as long as we can be under the cap again before the season starts. Which we can’t. We also have one more year to factor in significant bonus overages. Which will count against this years cap or be carried over. Can’t use LTIR for bonuses.

We’d much rather pay for them this year, before Matthews and Marner are on their next contract. We do have some money to spend while being under cap and covering all of our bonus overages. But we could spend everything and trade for Bolland and make room for two big signing and go all in this year. I don’t like that idea at all and firmly believe they wouldn’t do anything like that.

But, with Pridham steering the cap ship, it’s hard to disagree with anything they do. He knows more about the ins and outs than anyone.

I’m not trying to hate on your trades but you are trading player with absolutely no value and expect a top 4 dman I said it before no one wants Zaitsev he has too many years left on his current deal and especially with him not having the best year last year and Leivo did he even plays game last year? You see where I’m going with this the only thing that has value is the 1st which is a late one.

The only reason Leivo didn’t play is because of leafs depth and Matt Martin protecting the young guys, otherwise he is a top 9 forward.
