If the Leafs are able to sign Pietrangelo tomorrow
To CLB: G - F. Andersen + F - A. Johnsson + D - T. Dermott (rights)
To TOR: G - J. Korpisalo + D - D. Savard
Cap in for Columbus is $8.4M, however cash paid this year is $3.6M. They still need to negotiate with Dermott though. Cap out for them is $7M with cash of $6.2M
For the Leafs, they lower their cap hit by $1.4M to gain more cap space to sign Pietrangelo.
Still will need to move out another player, likely Kerfoot and/or Holl. Or they could re-flip Savard as he will be a UFA at the end of the year
Hyman Matthews Marner
Robertson Tavares Nylander
Mikheyev Engvall Korshkov
Malgin Spezza Simmonds
Rielly Pietrangelo
Muzzin Savard
Sandin Holl
Lehtonen

That bottom six is scary. Leafs would be a true studs’n’duds team if this happened.

That is what it will be. Without the cap increase, they'll need to fill with league minimum players
The deals they signed with Matthews and Marner were on a presumption of cap increase each of the next few years. The Leafs screwed on that.

I don’t think this works salary cap wise. Even if u take out the Pietro part of your proposal. I like the Columbus trade proposal especially if u can extend Savard,

Lol but what would happen if you go out in the first round again.

Hopefully Dubas would be fired then Dolt. You’re assuming they would even make the playoffs.

ATTENTION LEAFS FANS - You already have 3 guys making 41% of your cap. signing or trading for a 10M guy like Pietrangelo is NOT going to fix your team.
If you're carrying too much top-end salary you can't ice a competitive team. Welcome to the Cap World that every other fan base lives in.

Agrees chicken foot. Need to move Marner if you want a guy like Petro. 50% on 4 guys, you can't make that 65% on 5 guys. Especially with Reilly coming up.

Here is insite use nylander trade down for a defensive dman and a gritty forward. Boom.

ATTENTION CHICKENFOOT. LEAFS HAVE 49.1% OF THEIR CAP IN FOUR FORWARDS, NOT 41%. Our cap situation is much worse than you think.
