Two Trades dealing with Peter Mzarek

1. Trade Leafs backup goaltender for Ben Bishop and Leafs eat LTIR of Bishop- $9.5 Million for this year and next year.
Wild receives an active asset, which they can trade.

2. Expand the trade by the Leafs:
Holl + Ritchie + Mzarek for
Bishop + Foligno

Yes Sandin is out for another 10 days, however, the Leafs defense will survive.

You lost me. Bishop is in Dallas. No?


2.) 12 Dec 2021 16:18:51
Sorry, didn't have my morning coffee

1. Trade Mzarek for Ben Bishop + Braden Holtby. Leafs eat 2 YEARS net of $4.9167 Million on LTIR-

Get rid of Mzarek and bring in Holtby (Free agent next year) for $2 Million opening up $1.8 Million. Leafs swallow $8.2 Million of LTIR over 2 years.

Expand the trade to Mzarek + Ritchie for Ben Bishop + Holtby + Gurianov.


3.) 12 Dec 2021 18:57:23
Already had bishop, as much as mrazek is an uncessesary goalie, why get another one who choked for the leafs already? Also mrazek won last night, let the first shot in and blew a 3 goal lead, but he was good through most. The defence failed him.
Maybe holtby when he's a FA.


4.) 12 Dec 2021 20:35:24
When did Bishop play for the Leafs? Plus, he just retired basically. He is never playing again. I am not sure where you are going with this.


5.) 14 Dec 2021 03:59:01
Bishop has never played for Toronto. and is never playing anywhere again.

Campbell
Goaltending $4 Million

Kessel $1.2 Million

Total $80.7 Million

Heatdreamer

1.) 22 Jun 2021 04:01:29
Hyman is probably asking for 6+

Nashville trade is interesting if the Leafs are planning and moving Reilly and giving Sandin a more offensive role

You are underestimating Garland by a lot, he had a break out year, Arizona says no.

Leafs, have four players to trade
Anderson, Johnsson, Dermott and Kerfoot.

What do they require in return.
1. Goaltender, 25 yrs old with at least a 3 year contract less than $5 MM
2. Solid Center, 25 years old worth 45-50 pts a year Reinhart.
3. LW -such as Crouse or Ritchie, bringing back Clifford, returns us to the Domi days.

Heatdreamer

1.) 08 May 2020 16:00:27
A centre worth 40-50pts a year is Kerfoot. You don't need better as a 3rd liner.

Younger goalie is a luxury right now. Would like to see one brought in but that's tough unless Campbell and/ or Freddy get traded as well.

LW is a bit weak and I wouldn't resign Clifford for much if at all.


2.) 09 May 2020 00:59:51
I think Kerfoot is a solid 3C as well. He's exactly what you want in a 3C actually.

I would like to see Leafs bring in a replacement for Andersen too. Even if it means bringing someone in a year early and running him tandem with Andersen while Campbell watches from the press box most nights. Maybe gets 10 games this year. rubbishty thing to do to Campbell, but it's only a year. And he is only our backup goalie. We need a replacement for Andersen, and Campbell ain't it.

We have a solid LW with Mikheyev, Barabanov, Johnsson, Hyman. Other than Hyman, all those guys have question marks. But if they all okay as expected, we don't have a problem. Not too mention we also have Robertson, who should get at least a few games in. Heck, he might even make the team.

Personally, I like the idea of having guys like Crouse, Ritchie, Clifford on the team. But Dubas doesn't. He just won't bend. Not even one "tough" guy. So I wouldn't hold your breathe in any if then coming over.


3.) 10 May 2020 03:01:15
Barbanov has a one year deal. If he lights it up he is gone. Hyman is UFA very soon and mikhey will sign a bridge taking him to UFA. Long term I don't see LW as a strength. Only one that may stay long term is Robertson.


4.) 10 May 2020 05:46:29
They key is the two Russians. We need at least one of them to replace Hyman. But your right. The system is awesome because he is bringing guys in that are too old for proper elc's. So we only get them one year. And if they do good, they go to another team after. So what's the point.

Every year we skim the cream of the KHL crop, and in a few years there won't be much left there anymore anyway. Maybe we can start looking into China and Japan next? Baseball and basketball already have been for decades.


5.) 10 May 2020 21:14:02
Looks like Dubas plan is to just gut Europe for anyone even remotely decent to fill in the gaps for the coming years.


 

 

01 Jan 2020 20:28:27
Since Holl was signed for 3 years, the next step is signing of Dermott for a $2.5 MM multi year contract. With Reilly at $5 MM.
That means for the top 5 including Sandin & Liljegren would cost for next year $11.3 MM.
What happens next year if the Leafs sign Pietrangelo for $8.5 MM for 8 years. The cost of the defense would still be under $20 MM.
Forwards could be priced at 55 MM.
That is the puzzle,it would probably mean trading two or the three Kerfoot Kapanen + Johnsson for next year.

Heatdreamer

1.) 02 Jan 2020 01:04:52
8 years isn't possible but I wouldn't even want 7. 5 tops. Which moves the price up.


2.) 02 Jan 2020 03:00:02
If anyone goes probably Kapanen. Kerfoot isn't worth much right now and Johnson has a lot less interest than Kappy. Get a good return for a guy that plays 3rw for us.


3.) 02 Jan 2020 16:55:58
Your basing it off the fact that Muzzin Barrie and ceci walk I for one think the leafs will try and resign Muzzin he has been our best shut down guy and we have already seen how they don’t believe in Dermott by using Marincin on the second pair instead of Dermott honestly with Sandin coming up I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they move Dermott if the right deal is tabled.


4.) 02 Jan 2020 19:46:36
I don't see that. I think Dermott will just step in and play top 4 minutes next year. Muzzin will cost to much and doesn't fit Keefe system as well.


5.) 03 Jan 2020 01:33:36
I can’t see them keeping any of the ufa’s. Barrrie and Muzzin will cost too much, and Ceci isn’t any good. With Sandin and Liljegren both looking like they should make the team next year, and along with Holl, it looks like our defense is pretty much set except maybe the 6th/ 7th spots. And that’s an easy plug. Or should be anyway.

Reilly/ Holl
Dermott/ Liljegren
Sandin/ (? )

Something like that.


6.) 03 Jan 2020 19:33:43
My concern would be with Liljegren not playing in any nhl games to top 4 also we are very small blue line will be hard to box out.


7.) 03 Jan 2020 23:50:59
I doubt Lili plays top 4. Even if Dubas doesn't want Petro signing another UFA RHD is very easy. I am calling it now it's going to be:

Reilly Holl
Dermott?
Sandin Liljigren.


8.) 04 Jan 2020 00:38:44
I don’t like how small our guys in the back end are either. That’s what Dubas wants though. The speedy skilled guys that play a good puck possession game. We should have at least a couple big guys to clear the net though. I agree with you 110% there. That is our biggest weakness. We can’t keep the opposition out of the danger zone. A lot of times a seemingly harmless shot from the perimeter turns dangerous because of rebound to an open guy in front of the net.


9.) 04 Jan 2020 05:19:01
I say they keep Muzzin and let Barrie go.


10.) 05 Jan 2020 02:55:24
I like that idea too Minnow. And it might just happen if we can’t afford to re-sign Barrie now that he is playing so well. Muzzin is still a top 4 defenseman. And maybe put Dermott on his right side and see how that works.

Huberdeau + Ekblad

for

Matthews + Barrie


Matthews + Ceci + Hyman

for

Barkov + Hoffman ($1/2 MM retained) + Ekblad

Heatdreamer

1.) 28 Sep 2019 00:46:06
I would jump all over that Barkov trade but I think Florida would hang up the phone and block Dubas for life. A rental+1yr that scored 20g once and a rental over paid D are not enough added value for Barkov, Hoffman and Ekblad.


2.) 29 Sep 2019 19:55:12
Barkov is so underrated. Anyone who digs into his stats would know he is almost as good as Matthews. He may not score as much, but his game is more complete. In my opinion, I honestly think Barkov is a top ten center in the league, just about the same talent level as Tavares. And Ekblad is a superstar himself. He’s top ten player in the world for his position.

As much as I am drooling over this proposal, there is no way it would happen. Panthers aren’t going to trade their captain (Barkov), alongside with the face of the franchise (Ekblad) for what’s on offer here. Matthews might be the best player in this deal, but not by THAT much. Lol.

What is the minimum amount of players that are required to fulfil salary cap obligations
20
21
22
23

1.) 07 Jul 2019 04:34:01
It’s 24. And three of them have to be a goalie.

My three trade trades below creates a new team

Johnsson Matthews Kapanen $17.6 MM
Hyman. Taveras. Marner. $23. MM
Ritchie. Getzlaf. Kassian. $11.65 MM
Moore. Gaulthier. Ennis. $. 2.4. MM

Totals 54.65 MM

Reilly. Pesce. $9.025 MM
Muzzin Manson $8.1. MM
Rosen. Liljegren $1.6. MM

Totals. $18.725. MM

Anderson. Hutchison Kessel $ 8.45 MM

$81.83 MM

This would allow Hainsey at $1.5 MM and allow the total team salary to expand to $82.48 MM, still under the team cap.

Living presently in Florida.

Since most hockey players make more than $2 Million dollars. let's talk where the difference occurs, there are presently 8 states where there is no State Income tax.
Florida, Texas and Tennessee where NHL plays.
These states are where the NHL players have the highest benefit. The difference is presently between 10% to 12.5 %.
Please note the marginal tax rate is better due to the higher income brackets prior to moving to the highest bracket, in the USA that is $625,000 (married)

Now let's talk about California, New Jersey and New York, where six teams play the state income tax ranges between 9% to 13.25% (California) . Additionally there are county and city taxes in major cities (3.5%) -my daughter lives in NYC.

Again, the difference in these major states and Ontario is probably a wash, in fact Los Angeles Kings pay more than Ontario based Hockey players.

With Biden Administration attempting to increase the highest tax bracket to 40% from 37.%, Kings players are projecting to pay 53.25% total income tax rate plus County and City tax.

You don't have to lose him, if he is paid between $5.5= $5.75 MM per annum, with 90% as bonus.

Zaitsev has to be traded and so does Nylander.

If Nylander is traded and Gardiner kept, than Dermott can be combined with Zaitsev for an opening price RHD UNDER $2.7 mm.

I could see Bozak being traded with other parts for prospects or a young defenseman to Carolina, Rangers, or Predators.

As well Fehr and other parts could be traded to Vegas.

To the above, don't forget Gleason and Cowans, come off dead money account for $2 MM.

Rychal+ Fehr+ Marincin to Vegas for Miller. Vegas requires forwards and an enforcer

Komorov + Carrick for Demers. Panthers require a gritty forward at a reasonable cost plus another low cost Defenseman. Throw in a draft pick to close the deal.

These two trades are a benefit salary wise for the Leafs in reality reducing the 2017/ 18 NHL salaries by $1.1 MM and allow Hainey and Miller to play the 3rd line of defense,
