Kempny for Beagle who says no?

I say no. Beagle makes three million dollars against the cap on a team that is up against the cap and needs to upgrade their defense. They don't need a 4th center, Dowd is fine.

Tyler Johnson for a mid- to late-round pick and Killorn for a 2nd and the cap crunch would be pretty much resolved.

Here’s my thing: if a team consistently gets bad results, it stands to reason that it’s because there are lots of bad players on the team. I can’t imagine watching this Leafs club going “yeah this group as a whole is good.” If depth guys get annihilated every time they play up in the roster they’re bad depth guys.

I think it's both true that there are roster composition issues, player quality issues with their top 4 D, but also that with Andersen in net this year (and he wasn't particularly good this year) the Leafs' output was in line with a top-level contenders. You do have to be worried about the Leafs overreacting to getting garboed by a hot goalie three times in five games.

It's really weird to see the Cup-winning Lightning so eager to ditch the tenth best player in the league.

It's me, fondly remembering the HF Lightning fans who thought they should ditch Stamkos and run the entire team through Tyler Johnson, the next Martin St Louis but better.

Andersen's regular-season results were bad and definitely skew perception, and I think it's possible to put too much emphasis on their playoff performance for sure. I'm mostly of the opinion that the Leafs are in cap hell because they pushed their chips in too soon on win-now nonsense and the entire front office should just chill out, draft, and try to address the fact that nobody internally seems to be able to identify players who can defend at the NHL level. I'm aware that's an unpopular opinion in the fanbase and team at large though.

Trades are goods in themselves. Only one team can win the Cup, but every team can participate in sick rear end trades.

Trades are good publicity for the league and get fans more interested in the sport as a whole... so we can't have that... only cap dumps and 7th rounders being exchanged are on the menu for today.

Haha that only helps the pocket book of ownership. The cap hit is higher this year than just burying Alzner again.

It presumably also does something for the player, who is now free to pursue a contract with an NHL club or the Detroit Red Wings.

I'd agree that the Leafs could use a little toughness, but the specter of MLSE meddling with the roster to bring in tough, aging, playoff warrior veterans is chilling.

Not that it takes away from the joy of knowing he's absolutely not going to be on the roster, but the Abdelkader buyout is very odd timing. What do they need that cap space for now?
