That is way too much for Tavares w/ o an extension.

Toronto's capped out, can't take on OEL's contract at this time. They would have to ship out someone else with a higher salary for this to work. Perhaps Morgan Reilly instead of Gardiner.

W/ o Contract extension acquiring Tavares is of little use.

Gardiner and marner make 5 mill. OEL makes 5.5. Plus marner still has ELC bonuses that he will hit. Leafs save money on the deal to be honest. And if that’s the biggest problem you see with this, that’s pretty good.

I’m not saying it’s enough for anyone or it’s a good trade, but at least have a real reason why it’s not. Nikita zaitsev makes 4.5 mill and has been on the IR for 6 weeks. The cap space they have gained from that on a pro rated basis makes up the 500k between Gardiner/ marner and OEL on its own.

Wouldn’t trade Marner straight up for OEL+Strome. 1.5 seasons of OEL isn’t worth much.

Gardiner makes 4.05 ELC for Marner is about 890K-ish

When you are already over the cap, you can't take on even 500K more.

Whatever is saved on the IR. is probably gone for Austin Matthews 2.8M Performance bonus as well.

It's going to be a tight cap situation in T. O. Adding salary is not likely to happen no matter how much the fan base wishes for it.

Realistically w/ o considering cap situations, If I'm Arizona, the only way OEL goes to Toronto is if Reilly + comes back . Not Gartner.

Thank you for the positive feedback Unbiased Jim. Its just a hypothetical trade. Seems very unlikely

Pretty sure Tavares wouldn't want to go to the Coyotes. Also, this trade seems to make NYI much, much weaker no matter how good Barzal is or Marner. This may have more legs closer to the draft if Tavares is stalling on a contract.
