Barzal is holding out (Not sure we have tried for him much.lol)
Dubois wants out of CLB.

NYI
Marner 10.89 (tor)
Dermott .874 (tor)
Texier .9 (Clb)

Tor
Komorov 3 (Nyi)
Mayfield 1.45 (Nyi)
Dubois 5 (Clb)

Clb
Barzal RFA (Nyi)


A swap of similar young stars through 3 teams. Leafs take Komorov to balance cap and
size of Marner's contract. Komorov's deal ends when Dubois does and you can expose Komorov at the Seattle draft. NYI swap bottom 4 D-man of lefty for righty where each team is weaker. Clb loses Dubois and Texier but picks up a point producer C in Barzal and signs him 8X$8M.

Columbus loved panarin and apparently loved marner. If so than barzal is right up their ally and probably get him luckiest to deal he wants since they have 9 million So use Aho as comparable and done

Lou loved marner but 10.89 seems steep if they won’t pay barzal. Leafs might have to take back a bad contract from islanders to make this work. Boychuk on lTIR plus teows trade helped a bit but still got some work to do if

Great idea love it

Giving us uncle Leo back makes me smile.

I think it works for NYI and rest. Unless I misunderstand their cap situations. I've rounded off a bit.

NYI-3.9 in cap available. (20 signed)

cap out 4.45
=8.35
Cap in 12.664
=-4.3
Boychuk LTIR 6
=1.68 (21 signed)

Tor
cap space -1M
Cap in 9.45
Cap out 11.76
=1.3 cap space (24 signed)

CLB
cap space 4.225
Cap out 5.9
Cap in 0
Cap space =10.1 (21 signed)
Barzal at $8
=2.1 cap space (22 signed)

I think that's right.

I think you do have it

Well done good explanation and cap numbers

Cant get much better then this.

I would just like to see it happen partly to create that trade excitement for the NHL you have talked about. This would be awesome publicity for the game.

I would rather just try to trade for Barzal. Lol.

The new zone data work the last couple years put forward by Sznajder is extremely valuable for anyone that hasn’t yet checked it out. I would highly recommend it. It’s available free of charge on public tableaux. In fact, there are all kinds of viz’s by many different authors available.

They are all easy to use and give a good visual representation too. These guys are doing good things and really changing the way the game is viewed.

I like this deal. One of the best I have seen in awhile. Nothing bad to say. Well done.

We have all discussed how a holdout would have gone if Lou was in charge. Now is our chance to see. Different situation but I'm watching this one closely.
