That zetterburg contract is a tough one. It has only half a year left of 1 million in actual salary remaining on it but a huge LTIR thst can be used to exceed the cap with a player of 4.9 cap hit value able to replace him. there are 10 playoff bound teams over the cap who will all fight over this contract if it becomes available. With names like glendening, Ryan, Nemeth and if he waived his NMC Staal and bernier all drawing interest if he deals all 5 for picks and prospects he would lose 11.5 in cap thus being only remaining 1 million over the floor making him not able to trade zetterburgs contract. He can retain on up to 3 contracts so to gain even more assets and if he does on the 3 biggest he gains 6 million back thus being able to deal that contract. I’m sure yzerman is weighing every option but don’t expect that contract to go for anything lower than a 2nd rounder but may be bidder up to a 1st

Just my thought on it.

I would love the leafs to grab Bobby Ryan. I think having simmonds and Ryan flanking the left wing in the top 2 lines would be awesome. Then that Hyman Engvall Mikheyev line can reform as a top playoff shutdown checking line. That leaves Thornton spezza galchenyuk Boyd kerfoot (unless he is dealt since he makes way too much for this role) and Robertson battling for bottom line role. All 6 of these guys can move up and down lineup during game to give stars valuable quick shift rests keeping them fresh all game.

Ryan I think will fetch a 2nd but with up to 18 teams probably wanting to add his cheap cap hit services expect the bidding to go as high as a 1st

I also believe yzerman will respect Ryan and let Ryan choose his destination as long as that team he chooses will pay the asking price

Again I’m all for Ryan big time.

Unfortunately I can’t see yzerman dealing this young RHD unless a team is willing to unload a younger prospect and a 2nd rounder minimum. Afterall with only Larkin, mantha, bertuzzi, fabbro, namestikov, Erne, zadina as 7 protected forwards and dekheyser and stretcher as only 2 D needing protected means Hronek can be protected as well. Yzerman has no reason to deal him unless a Sandin and a 2nd is coming back.

Sorry this dman isn’t easily available.

Overall the Detroit deal isn’t quite there. By my resent replies for Toronto to obtain zetterburg contract, Ryan and hronek the deal presented just doesn’t cut it. This deal would take 3 2nd rounders and Sandin minimum just to get started. I think in the end Detroit would want 2021 2nd 2022 1st and a 2023 2nd plus Sandin and probably Abramov.

Yzerman won’t want Andersen since he is going to try and deal bernier. Yzerman will want to test his younger goalies to close out season along with Griess. Adding Andersen doesn’t allow yzerman to see what he has for a future goalie.

Hollowell could replace abramov in this deal but barbanov and a 3rd aren’t worth it to yzerman

Good targets just off on value when we know yzerman bargains better than my ex wife’s lawyer.

Vegas deal you are on to something. You just mixed up the goalies. Both Vegas and leafs have no cap space to allow either to gain cap room by this trade. However, Vegas can gain prospect capital with a deal like this

Your 2 prospects are perfect and you just watch liljegren gets his chance with this team and he becomes the new Ottawa version of karlsson.

Fleury (2 million retained 2 years)
For
Andersen liljegren and hallinder

I usually don’t agree teams will retain more than 1 year but in this case they break even this year but next year gain 5 million in cap space meaning the goalie they bring in is worth flurry’s 2 million retained plus the goalies salary. Huge deal for Vegas. 2 million retained is worth around a 4th rounder maybe a 3rd and being Vegas retains 2 years leafs would owe probably a 3rd and 4th. However, fleury at the same price as Andersen and Andersen at the price of fleury Favours Toronto so hallinder is the equivalent of the 3rd owing and differance in goalies value this year. While Liljegren then is equivalent to the 3rd owing and having fleury extra year at 5 million.

The expansion draft has no affect on Vegas thus they will get this package regardless if fleury is exposed by Toronto or not. Not Vegas problem. So tough choice for Toronto in the end

Good deal if it’s Andersen not Hutchison.

So I suspect we’ll see in the near future what the worth of these cats are. Since some of your points I do agree with then I will repost another trade scenario in the near future.

Lilijigren's looking pretty god right now.
