...if Toronto wants to get what it really needs ? a right-shot, top-pair defenseman in the vein of Jacob Trouba, Dougie Hamilton or Colton Parayko ? it has to move a bigger piece. Might it be Kapanen or Johnsson?

I'm pretty sure anyone willing to let go of a top pair right hand D like those examples is looking for more than Kapanen or Johnsson in return.

With Mitch at 11, Kapanen at 3.25, Johnsson at 3.5, we're a smidge over the cap with Z and Dermott as our top 2 on the right and no spare D.

We can move Brown in order to get a spare D under 1M if we replace him with a 1M winger.

Unless I goofed something, it's looking pretty tight.

Right now, once Horton's deal is factored, the Leafs have about 19.3 million in space. With those three at 17.75 they're 1.55 under the cap.

This is from capfriendly with Horton on  LTIR.

Trust me. Go to capfriendly and see how beneath each position they have the total cap hit. Total them up. The only way to get to the 67 million they have listed is with Horton counting.

They have

Forwards - 40.67
Defense - 15.03
Goalies - 5.75

That's 61.45

Then you add Horton and Kessel, that's how you get to 67. I appreciate that the way they have it is confusing but a player can't be on LTIR in the off-season I'm fairly sure. Their number just reflects that.

It's not confusing at all.  If you look at the team I published and linked, we're over.  Your account above only accounts for 16 players (+ Kessel) for 67 M.  Now add Mitch (11M, my estimate), Kapanen (3.25M), Johnsson (3.5M), another D (Rosen), plus some spares and we're over.

Fair enough, I thought you were just referring to the team as is.

But I generally think the consensus is that Brown is gone and Zaitsev almost certainly as well. I think ultimately the bigger issue is going to be a not very good/relying heavily on rookies blue line instead of cap pressure.

Team as is, while filling out a full roster.

But would Kek?l?inen do it? Is one Marner enough to salve the loss of Panarin and Duchene?
Click to expand...

Probably not but if you substitute Panarin for Jones and make the deal contingent on a Panarin signing (10x8?) then CBJ ends up getting Marner essentially for Anderson and taking on Zaitsev's contract (since Panarin was leaving for nothing). Leafs get Panarin and Anderson, shed Zaitsev and can make a Kapanen for Pesce swap without hurting the winger depth. They'd also have a nice amount of Cap space left too.
 
Who is playing D this year? It seems we're doing everything possible to bring back ALL our young forwards at the expense of the entire cap. Who is going to play D? 3 rookies to start the year until Dermott comes back (4 if Zaitsev goes)? Yikes... same offense and worse defense.

I really hope Kappi/Johnsson gets flipped for a D. I want Zaitsev back because we absolutely need him.

The timing for the Marleau trade, before bonus paid, was really strange I wonder if Dubas was in on something imminent that fell through?

I would bet on some substantially moves before the summers out. It doesn't make sense to be so front loaded.

This doesn't take Hyman or Dermott's injuries into account.

That's a good point, their injuries are long term and this would give Dubas more time for cap management.
