i can see a competitive team with capspace that easily would, since their 1st rounders wont be high but in the mid/high 20's.
Depending how long their window is to compete, it's basically giving up a single high 1st rd pick in their 4th year for a 10.5m player which is cheap af

No team

Yeah, for marner or generally any rfa that needs 4x 1sts is too much

Okay so a few questions here.

Nylander contract has a NMC or not?

What are the chances the marner contract has a NMC...


Who does that really leave for leafs to move around? Who's our high trade value guys that CAN be moved?

nylanders deal does not contain a no movement/no trade until the last year of the deal

The two guys I see being the most likely to be moved are Kapanen or Johnsson because they are on ~$3.5M deals and that's approx what you'll need to get Marner his ~11M deal.

Right now, the Leafs have $3,765,301 in cap space, + 5.3M when Horton can be LTIR'd. It's possible with a couple guys sent down to the minors you could get the money freed up but right now they only have 13F/8D signed and the team would want to have at least 11F(+Marner)/7D travelling with the team. Sending those 2 guys down would only free up an additional ~$1.5M depending on who goes down (Total space would be right around 10.5 with the aforementioned moves).

I don’t see them moving either of the guys they just signed , those are much better value contracts than the nylander contract. And some cap hit would be coming back presumably. I see it being Nylander almost for certain with a 3-4 mil contract and pick coming back.



Depends on the team, a rebuilding or middle of pack team no way, 4 1-15 picks are not worth it. For a team expecting to be top 10 in league yes, no way you replace a guy like Marner with 4 20-30oa picks. Odds are only 1 maybe of those guys will stick in NHL let alone become a 100p player.

As a general rule 1-15oa 2/3 bevome NHL regulars , 15-30oa 1/3 become NHL regulars.

I just dont think they'd be able to get good value for Nylander is my reason for not including him, but he's definitely a possibility. I think as it stands right now, he's slightly overpaid and coming off one of the worst years of his career.

Makes sense, I think nylander value is decent. IMO for a 20g scorer 6 mil is a good price , he’s only a bit over paid. And the bad year is eze to overlook considering his hold out. I’d be concerned about how much was him , how much was his line mates. I’m not sure where he played in the line-up last year vs the year before. The two 3.5 mil contracts would be easier no move no doubt tho, Toronto would much prefer to move Nylander tho I think.

I dont want to go through it again, but if we sign him for 10m on a multi year how do we have any defense next season.

Not saying marner isnt a 10 mill player but 40m on nylander/matthew/tavares/marner seems to much $$$ in one place
