How does Vegas have 50 contracts already? They can't have that many AHL guys.

Brassard's cap hit is like 3.5 mil. How many teams need can't afford that?

Roster, not contract. Ottawa is too.

E: like maybe VGK had plans to put someone on IR and add Cole, but in order to retain on Brassard he also has to come on their roster on paper, so they need one more roster spot.

His salary is 3.5, his hit is still $5m for this year and next which is why the Pens are wanting some retention.

I don’t even see why Toronto would trade for him unless they plan to sign him long term in which case they’re probably hosed cap wise for signing all of Marner, Nylander, and Matthews which means trade Marner to the Rangers

If the Leafs were gung-ho on re-signing McDonagh and think their defense is a bigger need than their offense, which would be accurate, it wouldn't be irrational for them to send either Nylander or Marner back to the Rangers, considering they're definitely not going to be able to sign all three when their contracts run out at the same time.

If they won't be able to get Matthews, Marner and Nylander all signed they should trade Nylander. As much as I love the guy, they're not trading Matthews and Marner is better and more valuable imo.

Nylander's new contract is due before Matthews and Marner (who are at the same time). Will be very tough but I don't know if impossible. Smarter minds than mine would have to work that out.

They can't keep all three, and getting McDonagh back to lead the D corps is not too shabby, he is still quite good. And if they part with Nylander the other way, that's a drat good young player.

Yea he's exceptionally awesome. I just think Marner is a unique talent and would be harder to replace.

Does this mean that the Leafs can somehow get rid of Matt Martin and end up with a top four RHD? Because that would be swell.

It's this, and it's easy to forget that these are real people who may actually feel safer even if it's irrational.

That being said, i'm glad he's gone.
