I've been seeing a lot of talk on moving holl and some rookies and people wanting evander Kane.

Now would be the perfect time.
With marner I hired they have 10 mil cap space.

Tor: Holl
SJS: E.Kane

Leave get rid of some dead weight, gain a strong D, and won't have to deal with him for more than the playoffs.

Marner comes back, Kane goes down to the marlies, and then get called up for the playoffs. Win win.

Kane is a forward not a D and even if you send him to the Marlies, most of his cap hit still counts, so someone with a pretty good sized cap hit would have to be moved when Marner comes back.

Fine sir - even if you demoted Kane to the marlies, you can only bury just over a million bucks in the minors.

Therefore the remaining cap hit of E Kane would count against our cap . which would be about 6 million in dead cap for this year.

Plus what about next year? We can’t add 7 million to the cap or 6 if he’s demoted.

The only way to get Kane for the leafs is a 3 way deal where SJ and another team retain 50% of his contract and you can get him for 1.75 AAV.

Even then. do we really want the problems he brings?
