Not sure if cap works, I think so. 12 hour day was to lazy to do the leg work in this one, let me know what you guys think?

What parts are unbelievable? I don’t think I handcuffed them?

26 Jul 2021 19:15:10
@Randy. I didn't click the unbelievable, but here is my take.
I really doubt Chicago wants an $11M player right now, even if he is young. They just signed Jones long term and still have Toews and Kane on the books for big money for two seasons.

As for the Florida deal, we had our chance at both Weegar and Bennett and Dubas passed on both. I would think there is no chance we are getting both + a 2nd for one possible year of Rielly, even at 50% retained. Weegar is really good and Bennett seems to have found a home there where they will use him properly.

Arizona - lilijegren, 1st in 2020, engvall, mikheyev

To - Dvorak, rights to rantaa, latest 2 of their 2nd round picks (Arizona has 5 second rounders currently.).

It's a wild trade but here's maybe why it works.

Toronto gets a top 9 fwd and their tandem goalie while recouping some lost draft capital.

Arizona gets a 22 year old dmen to add to their rebuild core and a 1st rounder to speed up their rebuild. Mikey and engvall help keep the leafs cap in line and Arizona can move them for picks at the deadline.

26 Jul 2021 08:32:18
Love the target in Dvorak - the PERFECT 3C we need to build a dynamic 3rd line. But I would trade for Kuemper with 50% retained. Kerfoot, Dermott and next years 1st.
Send Engvall plus to CAR for Fogele (I’m convinced he can be the next Hyman - and for 2 million plus) . Sign Janmark (or Granlund) as a UFA Hamonic to play 3rd pair RHD.

26 Jul 2021 12:07:09
I like the targets Marcus! I’d be happy with those
Pick ups. I’d still like to replenish our draft capital to somehow. Dubas has traded a lot of picks and most of our depth so we got a lot of work to do.

25 Jul 2021 19:58:30
Kerfoot + Dermott for Evander Kane

Leafs sign Mzarek for $2 Million

Leafs add Robertson $796,000

Leafs sign Coleman $3 Million x 3 years

Leafs sign Bogosian for $1.25 Million

Leafs add $7 Million and send out $5 Million.

In free agency Leafs add $9.05 Million

20 Players for $81.2 Million

26 Jul 2021 03:04:45
No thx to Kane he's a cancer.

25 Jul 2021 15:18:38
Are these some trades and UFA signings Dubas could or might make this coming week.

Toronto trades Kerfoot and Lilyigren ($4.4 out)
To
Seattle for RFAs
Nathan Bastian (sign $1.75 x2 yrs)and Vince Dunn (3 million x 3years)

Toronto trades Nick Robertson and Hollowell ($2.4)
To
New Jersey for Miles Woods ($2.7)

Toronto trades Dermont, Joey Anderson, Ian Scott ($3.5)
To
Arizona for Kuemper ($4.5)



Ufas he might look to sign:

Blake Coleman $3 x 3yrs
Stephen Johns $2.75 x 3yrs
Brandon Pirri $900 x 2yrs

Projected Lineup

Woods Mathews Marner
Coleman Tavares Nylander
Mikheyev Pirri Bastian
Spezza Brooks Simmons

Reilly Brodie
Muzzin Holl
Dunn Johns
Sandin

Campbell
Kuemper

** Could still Trade Rielly and move Sandin beside Brodie

Say Rielly to Columbus
For
Boone Jenner and 1st, 2rd 2022

Jenner then replaces Pirri at 3rd line center

25 Jul 2021 16:56:55
Robertson will be better then Woods.

25 Jul 2021 17:39:10
Only kerfoot and Dermott count to cap so stop manipulating it with non roster cap. 4.5 million isn’t even counted to the cap so it can’t be subtracted

12.75 in 5.3 out by trade
6.65 by ufa
That’s 19.4 to 5.3

14.1 total added

Now where u going to shave 5 million

U can manipulate your brain but u can’t manipulate mine.

25 Jul 2021 14:41:06
Tor: Reilly
Min: greenway boldy

Looking at what Jones and makar got Reilly starts at 8 on a new deal leafs deal him now get a good middle 6 player and a good center prospect it frees up more cap space for free agents it leave a hole for sure on the blue line but Dubas needs to be more pro active

25 Jul 2021 12:49:15
Leafs have $9.4M in cap space. They do need a back up goalie and better depth, but I feel signing Hamilton will have the greatest impact.

Sign Hamilton to a 7 year $60M. $8.57M AAV

They can then, if they choose to, trade Kerfoot and Dermott or Rielly to get add cap space.

To NSH: F - A. Kerfoot

To TOR: F - N. Cousins + 2022 3rd

Cap savings is $2M for this year

Sign Galchenyuk to a 2 year $2.4M deal

If you bring up both Robertson and Hutchison you can roster a full team and under cap.

Defense is now considered a strength, goaltending could be an issue with depth, but I'd roll the dice.

Robertson Matthews Marner
Galchenyuk Tavares Nylander
Mikheyev Cousins Simmonds
Spezza Engvall Brooks

Rielly Hamilton
Muzzin Brodie
Sandin Holl
Dermott

Campbell
Hutchison

26 Jul 2021 16:01:12
Cousins hasn't played centre fulltime in about 5 seasons. He has great possession numbers but puts up very little point wise even though he starts mostly in the O-zone. It is not like he ups his game in the playoffs either. He might be an ok depth guy, but not sure he should be our future 3C. That goalie tandem is just scary.

24 Jul 2021 20:14:35
So the good teams are getting better, the bad teams are gaining picks and prospects, while the leafs are sucking pond water.


Here's a trade idea,

Dubas traded to the greyhounds for a bag of pucks and we sign hunter out of the London knights.

24 Jul 2021 22:22:50
I like it. I'll even accept trapping him for nothing.

25 Jul 2021 02:19:59
Yea pretty disappointing to see nothing on the leafs other than them talking to their own ufas especially when guys like garland and that young goalie out of Carolina went for so cheap and now he’s going to over pay for free agents.

25 Jul 2021 03:10:21
@Leafs1994 Ned (can't spell his full name) is the most disappointing.

25 Jul 2021 14:23:41
Would of solved a lot for the goalie situation.

25 Jul 2021 15:34:22
Dubas is too busy focusing on nickle and diming the Oilers on what type of pick Hyman's rights are worth. he wants a 2nd Oilers offer a 6th. so now we will get no pick and he screws Hyman out of a year on his contract. nice work Dubas. don't worry about the insane trades going on and what we could have gotten for Rielly who will surely walk away now after this season as a UFA. always the small game eh Kyle. picks now to be a tough guy and not when we needed it on the Marner deal.

25 Jul 2021 15:54:48
Every year I get myself 1 or 2 leafs jerseys. This year is looking like I should get a mark stone jersey.

24 Jul 2021 19:39:09
Arizona trade Keller

Leafs after July 28 trade Kerfoot dollars owed 750K cap hit 3.5 million Liljegren and 2022 1st round pick

Coyotes would love to get away from 7+ million commitment to Keller and are in rebuild can flip Kerfoot at deadline his contract will have tremendous value at the deadline

24 Jul 2021 23:35:47
Kerfoot Bonus has been paid as of July 4th

It’s a good idea except why would Arizona want to pay an extra 400k if liljegren reaches performances I stated on his contract.

I’m thinking Sandin would be the target as he has no performance bonus attached to his contract so what u see is what u owe money wise.

Then I’m sure Arizona just might want that 2nd rounder leafs just drafted Matthew Knies as he knows Jonathan Doan like a brother.

Kerfoot Sandin Knies
For
Keller

Seems a bit closed now.

25 Jul 2021 21:23:07
That would be a great deal. The London Knight are one of the best minor league teams in all of Canada and have produced legitimate Hall Of Famers. I would actually prefer Dale Hunter Coaching the Leafs since he was known as a Bad Ass in his day.
