So because I'm stubborn I'm going to do this again! Lol the definition of insanity!

Barrie, Ceci, Spezza, Mikheyev and Clifford walk.

Tor signs Hamonic D 3 years @ 3.5 million per year
Tor signs Mikheyev 2 years @ 1.5 million per year

Tor gets
Seguin C/RW = 9.95


Dallas gets
Nylander RW = 6.95
Johnsson LW = 3.4
Hollowell D = 800k

Tor gets
Domi C/LW = 3.15 Domi signs 1 year Arbitrary 3.95 RFA
Leskinen D = 925k

Montreal gets
Dermott D = 860k
Kerfoot LW/C/RW = 3.5

Toronto's forward lines
Hymn/Mathews/Marner = 24.75
Mikheyev/Tavares/Seguin = 22.45
Barabanov/Domi/Kapanen = 7.94
Robertson/Engvall/Korshkov = 2.97
Total = 58.11

Toronto's defensive lines
Riley/Hamonic = 8.5
Muzzin/Liljegren = 6.48
Sandin/Holl = 2.89
Total = 17.87

Toronto's Goalies
Andersen Sg = 5
Campbell Bg = 1.65
Total = 6.65

Grand total = F 58.11 + D 17.87 + G 6.65 + 1.2 Kessel tax = 83.83 - 81.5 = 2.33 over the cap. Now I know it's not under but I'm getting close

Do I think Dallas would make that trade. Yes. Would I do it if I was the Leafs? No. It further concentrates the cap into the top four for one thing. Not surprising you are 2.33 over cap, which is pretty close to the difference between Nylander and seguins salary.

Greedy Nylander redeemed himself with his play last year. I'd rather keep him for now than trade him for an aging Seguin that has been called out two years in a row for declining performance.

not really that close. still only a 20 man roster. so need to add a couple more minor contracts. cause they won't only have 20 players on the team all year especially if the new season starts right back up not long after the Stanley cup. so your still probly close to 5 million over the cap.

why do we undervalue domi in every post? why would he take a 1 year deal for 3.5. He will likely be in the 5 range no?

Got to agree with the comments above - nylander really established himself this past year and seguin is aging.

(First ever post here- don't rip me to hard! )

Yo losersince67 Domi had one good season 2 years ago where he scored 28g and 72 points in 81 games then he follows that up with 17 G and 44 points in 71 this season and he’s worth 5 mil plus on a long term contract? He’s an RFA with Arbitration rights that’s it.
Regardless the whole 20 man roster thing we have the contracts already on the books like Brooks and Petan so adding more new contracts not needed, I’m not saying that this won’t increase the overall cap but not to 5 mil.

04 Jun 2020 17:04:28
Domi might actually ask for 5 your not wrong there. He seems to be extremely arrogant and believes he is worth than I believe he is. 3.5 on a 1 year deal is about what he's probably worth in my mind as well.

Still wouldn't trade our cheaper, younger 30/ 70 forward for an older player though.

@leafslife I did some comparisons of Nylander and Seguin
Nylander is 24 while Seguin is 28
Nylander best season was 61pts he did this twice with potential for better results in the future.
Seguin best season was 84 pts and scored 80 another season with a bunch of 70 pts seasons to his credit

Both seem to stay in the line up fairly well I would give the edge to Seguin.

Seguins contract has the potential to turn into a boat anchor but we are in prime years.
@ leaflife the funny thing is I’m marking these arguments over a player I do like but not my favourite target on this site. That will always be saved for Wilson and Kassian lol!
Speaking of which I think I might put up a Wilson/ Kassian trade to ensure I keep that trend alive and well.

Seguin has better seasons no doubt but he also played more. Nylander this year showed what he can do. I think both players in their Prime's Seguin is a better player based on what Nylander has shown us this far but that's not the case. It's. more about age and if Nylander can improve to me. Seguin won't be improving though. If anything he will regress.

05 Jun 2020 13:53:15
Seguin is not in his prime anymore. Lol. He's on the back side of his career now. Most forwards peak between 22-25. So at 28 years of age, statistically speaking, he doesn't have a lot of gas left in the tank.
