Brawndo

This is from 32 Thoughts yesterday. 9. When it comes to Toronto, I still think the question is if they can clear cap room. They’re trying to move Nick Ritchie, since there’s no path back to the NHL for him barring injury or until the cap disappears in the playoffs. There is interest, but a buyout next season is only $300,000 against the cap so the Maple Leafs are pointing out retaining anything more than that doesn’t make sense for them. Remember: they also made Justin Holl and Travis Dermott available early in the season. Can they create any flexibility? I’m not convinced yet Toronto does a big rental on defence. Maybe the best depth defender they can find for what they need. I’ll take Ritchie and His Full Cap Hit and send back Miller (50% retained) for a First. Ritchie can stay in the AHL if there is fear of Him blocking one of Kids

Mitts doubtful for tomorrow

Unfortunately one is still employed by a team I care about

Jeff Marek, who is very well connected to Hockey Canada, mentioned on His Show Today he thinks that Devon Levi was promised two games during the Olympics as an incentive for Him to go and Northeastern to be more agreeable to Him going. That obviously changed once the Team arrived in Beijing

And there is Jack’s Cap Space

Something that was proposed on Twitter the other day. Tuch and Eichel have the same amount of years remaining on Their Deals, with Tuch's AAV being 5.5 Million less per season. Jack is a Top 1C is the better overall player, but is He worth 5.5 Million more per Season than Tuch? That's going to be interesting to find out
