eXXon posted:Johnsson is pretty much a given and would have no impact on the bottom 6; there are plenty of bodies to replace him. Muzzin is going nowhere. Kerfoot, eh? I suppose he could go for a cheaper replacement but probably not. Someone has to play 3C and Spezza/Engvall/random free agent isn't a great list. There’s approximately an article a week that break down the Leafs cap... With no moves other than resigning Mikheyev and Dermott for 1 year bridges (and Dermott might be expendable if they get a big D) they have about 3.7 to spend. The Athletic tried to do a roster with Pieterangelo for 8.5 and it was doable with dumping Jonhnsson, Engvall for minimum guys and downgrading Freddie for a goalie at 3.2. It’d be running a 20 man roster for the full season so it would be doable but probably not worth it without dumping Kerfoot as well. They are probably shopping in the 5ish range with 6-7 being the top end of what would be doable without making core changes.

He was supposed to coach the Knights to a cup finals loss because then he'd lose in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds in consecutive years but sadly reality isn't fun like that. Also that would've been his third cup finals loss. Shame.

At the start of the offseason I didn't want the Leafs to break up the big four forwards, but I'm thinking this cash crisis might be the best opportunity the Leafs get to move Mitch Marner because his contract is very, very attractive to a few cap floor teams right now. Even though he's paid $35 million cash over 5 years Marner's contract this year is cheaper than an ELC with bonuses. The very lowest cap floor teams like Detroit, Ottawa, Buffalo, and maybe Jersey get to benefit from the spread between Marner's league minimum salary and cap hit, $10 million. If these teams acquire Marner and only spend to the floor they would save that money. Effectively, minus the savings from spread, Marner's contract only costs just under $25 million for 5 years. That's assuming they don't just turn around and trade him before his bonus next year. Call it the Melnyk Scenario. In that case, assuming the asset cost of acquiring Marner this year and next year is similar, and he might get you more in trade next year because of Seattle, a year of austerity's impact on cap space, reopening etc., you could get Marner on your team for a year and it wouldn't cost you any cash or assets at all. In fact, it would save you $10 million. If we really want to get silly, you could bounce Marner around the league every year by trading him to a cash rich team, letting them pay the bonus, then trading him to another cap floor team for them to reap the savings from the spread. His contract would become an end around that allows cash rich teams to buy assets for money and cap floor teams to spend $10 million below the floor. Eventually, in 2023 he gets a NMC and could put a stop to it.

I'm a big Georgiev fan, and would love for the Leafs to get him. Engvall's okay. If he can stick at center he's a bargain at his contract, but if he's a winger they have options there, including some league minimum contracts. Every 500k against the cap counts.

Flocons de Jambon posted:I was thinking more like the Kessel from Boston trade. Ottawa or New Jersey have the picks to do it. The Leafs should have probably not signed JT and went full win now mode before they had stocked the cupboard better. I think they also did a lovely job with how they went about negotiating Matthews and Marner's deal. How all that went down is a bit fuzzy though so maybe they didn't gently caress up as bad there. Ottawa or NJ handing out picks like candy for Marner and his contract would be insanely dumb especially if they are trying to game the cap like you originally proposed. Finally, the only teams that 'won' the Kessel trade were Boston and Pittsburgh and even then Toronto is still retaining money on Kessel. Ott handing over one of their firsts for Marner with a bunch retained still seems fanciful as hell and again I don't see how that moves Toronto closer to a cup.

It's just interesting to me because the way Marner's contract is structured he has value in this situation that doesn't come from him being a hockey player. He's a $10 million cheque that only cheap teams can cash.

Teams are required to spend to the cap floor. There are a couple teams that very far from that floor. Mitch Marner's cap hit is $10,893,000. His actual salary this year is $750,000 (capfriendly says $700,000, but I think this got bumped up by the CBA). One of those teams that's very far from the floor gets to count Marner's cap hit towards their cap without spending any money. Assuming they're not going to spend more than they have to to reach the cap floor Marner saves the team $10,000,000 because of the difference between his cap hit and salary.

He's a $10 million cheque that only cheap teams can cash. That only applies for this 1 season. I guess if I squinted really hard and Ottawa was that close to insolvency I could see them throwing a 1st round pick away to save that money then retain and move Marner later to recoup their losses. If Ottawa were close to being broke I'm pretty sure we would already be somewhat aware of it and I think the NHL would be significantly more involved like they have been with Arizona. If you are talking about improving the Leafs anything involving Marner or Matthews and their contracts likely will be a losing trade imo. Nylander is the likeliest to move because his deal is significantly more palatable to a wide variety of teams. However, outside of a few specific 2 way defenseman already on very good deals it would be hard to add and prevent enough goals to replace that forward scoring for a similar cap hit.

That example roster had them 85k under the cap so going from 1.25 to a rando .7 was kinda needed as an easy dump. He’s probably low on the list of guys they’d want to trade, but 1.25 for a 4th liner was a luxury a full stars and scrubs build couldn’t afford. rex rabidorum vires posted:That only applies for this 1 season.

The year of the trade is the biggest savings since he always makes super giant bonus + minimum salary so as long as he’s traded after bonus day, it’s a big windfall for a cheap team. But his contract is cheap team friendly every year as next season his salary+bonus is 500k less than his cap hit and every year after that he’s 2.9 mill cash savings compared to his cap even with paying his bonus. pseudodragon fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Sep 16, 2020 |

I agree, Marner's contract wouldn't be difficult to move any other year. I don't want the Leafs to move Marner to dump his cap hit, I expect value in return. I'm only emphasizing this year because the market of cap floor teams is the largest its going to be, and those cap floor teams would value the 15%-off-team-payroll coupon that is the Marner contract more this year than any other. Bigger market plus extra motivation to cut costs might make one of them overpay. It's all theoretical anyway. They've come out and said they're not trading him. I'm just trying to point out the opportunity they could be missing.

It's a hard sell because a team like Ottawa trying to hit the cap floor while paying far less than that in real salary would need to be pretty sure they could move him in a year otherwise they're stuck with a giant cheque to sign. It's probably easier for them to get a first round pick in return for one of the many bad contracts out there, of course Marner is a legitimate talent so it's a consideration. With that said, the Leafs are very much in their window. If the idea is to deal from a position of strength up front to shore up other areas (defence) there haven't been too many hockey trades of that variety in recent years. The only comparable I can think of was Johansen for Jones, otherwise superstars are really only traded for futures. I guess the idea could be to pocket some money and go after someone like Pietrangelo in free agency, but is the team really improved by losing 23 year old Marner for $10.8m and adding 30 year old Pietrangelo for $9.5m? I'd say absolutely not.

Uh moving the 7th largest contract by cap hit in the NHL would be difficult at the best of times and receiving equal 'value' for it is going to be quite the trick. Usually teams looking to move this player would be getting a bucket full of picks/prospects and rebuilding not flipping one of their stars and praying. Your 'ideal' trade would be Marner + whatever for someone like Dougie Ham, Werenski, and a handful of signed cost controlled exceptional defenseman while also hoping to throw in a some picks and maybe a rando player for roster/bottom 6 contributors and whatever. At the end of the day the Leafs have the exact same problem they have had for a few seasons now - Having way too much money tied up in 3 players and having to build and balance everything else around that. Which throwing Marner around to an Ottawa as a cap dump doesn't solve at all.

Yeah and Marner would inevitably see a drop in production away from the offensive system of Toronto and asked to be the main guy. 80-90pt Marner is absolutely worth his cap hit as an outstanding complimenary piece. If he drops to 60ish points I'm not sure too many folks would be keen on taking him on.

If he drops to 60ish points I'm not sure too many folks would be keen on taking him on. Matthews - $145k per point and 8k per minute. Marner - $162k per point and $8.5k per minute. Tavares - $183k and 9k per minute. McDavid is $128k and 9k per minute. Rantanen $225k and 11k per minute. Drai 77k and 5.5k. Panarin - $122k and 8k. Pastrnak $70k and 5k. Kuch - $111k and $7.4k. Eichel - 128k and 6.6k. I feel pretty confident in saying Marner/Matthews/Tavares are mild overpayments and that's a much bigger issue. Nylander works out to $118k and $5.6k. Marner and Tavares both missed a bit of time so they can get a little leeway there so adjusted for 1.15 ppg and it's ~135k per for Marner and $165 for Tavares. Still seems on the high end relative to the recent comparables

pseudodragon posted:How is it only a cash savings this year? This year is obviously the biggest savings at 750k for a 10 million hit, but going forward he's at a 10.8 million cap hit, but his salary+ bonus is 10.3 next year and 8 the rest of the way. If you're a cap floor team, you still get about 7 million in cash in 2021-25. So you are back to treating Marner like a cap dump which doesn't net you the assets the Leafs will want to compete. If you are coming at it from a 3 million dollar 'savings' of cap hit vs payout which considering what the Penguins were rumored to have an 'internal cap' and moving towards some sort of austerity I could maybe see something hilarious happening. That moves you back to 'hockey trade' territory and at least in the vague realm of possibility considering both teams could use a shake up and have a history of trading with each other.

Whether or not they should trade him is a completely separate issue from whether or not his contract would be a positive or negative value. I don’t think the Leafs should trade Marner because they won’t get equal hockey value for him, which at this point is what they should be concerned about. But if the time comes where they do want to or need to move on from him for whatever reason, like after another year or two of lovely results, there’s probably a team that would pay for a marketable player that saves cash.
