In a dream last night we made the following cap reduction trades:

Muzzin to LAK for a 4th

Kerfoot to Detroit for a 3rd

Mrazek to Arizona for a 7th

Holl to Anaheim for a 7th

Then I went on a controlled UFA spending spree.

Lol.

I don’t want to subtract from the forward group. We trade Muzzin because a cheaper player with same skill set and better health prognosis is out there to be had.

I want to add a top 6 forward Kadri seems to be perfect fit I don’t mind giving him 7 years. The end of the contract he will end up on LLTR

Muzzin and Mikheyev leaving along with Kessel off the books opens up nearly 9 million in cap space. Kadri gets 6x7 for the leafs he will take a bit less he loves Toronto he never wanted to leave.

Kadri will be 32 early on October 6th this year.
A 7 year contract would take him to 39.
Pray God No!
Expecting him to replicate this season, at 32 when he had never done it before is not sound projection.
I am a big fan of Kadri and was upset when Dubas signed Tavares for $11 and traded Kadri to the Av’s.
But I don’t want him back for 7 more years at $7 - $8 million a year.
Leafs already have too many overpaid players to add another to the list.
