When Toronto got Tavares for free they can trade to get the D man they need.

Toronto trades

William Nylander
Timothy Liljegren
1 first round pick

Ottawa trades

Erik Karlsson
sign and trade 8*11 millions

This would make it near impossible to extend important players in the future such as mathews.

If they trade Nylander for a D it would be for a D making in the same range you expect to pay him ($6 mill) . Not a guy making twice as much, or it defeats the purpose.

Toronto would have to add a lot more to get Karlsson. a late 1st a decent prospect and a 2nd line winger doesn't get it done essentially if resigned. only way it works like this is if Ryan is involved with no retention which would never happen because it would then for e toronto to also trade marner pr Matthews or both to fit back under the cap. it'll be hard enough for them to get under the cap now without trading 1 of the former big 3.

@NoBiasRambo are you sure you know what essentially means?

I think they have room for Karlsson beyond this year too.


Sign Matthews max 9 per year
Marner max 8 per year



Trade Nylander
Trade or let Gardiner walk
Let Hainsey walk
And probably need to get rid of Marleau.
