If I'm the Leafs I look at sending Nylander to San Jose in some complex deal involving some retention, but then again I said they should trade Nylander the FIRST time he held them hostage. Not a chance San Jose goes for it. They aren’t going to compete this year, and Nylander has 1 year left on this contract. Trading Karlsson for Nylander would be a waste for SJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confused as to why they’re going crazy improving what was already the strongest part of their roster and not finding the goa scoring they so badly need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent, but Carolina play a system that is great for defensemen. I just don't see how he's worth all the baggage that comes with him. He speared somebody (even if it was a turd like Corey Perry) in the balls in plain sight this season for Christ's sake. The guy is a mess.

Flashsabre Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) The Leafs are $8 million over the cap and Samsonov just filed for arbitration. He signed a 1 year $1.8 show me deal and he showed them. He had a 2.33 gaa and a .919 sv%. What do they do if he is awarded $4-5 million? Go $12 million over the cap?

It's not as dire as it looks for them. Morgan Reilly ($7.5M) and Matt Murray ($4,687,500) are bound for LTIR. Samsonov will necessitate further cap gymnastics, though. There's long been rumors about them moving Willy Nylander. We'll see on that. Edited July 6, 2023 by HumanSlinky39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterExpat Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 13 hours ago, HumanSlinky39 said: Matt Murray ($4,687,500) are bound for LTIR. Murray came off LTIR at the end of last season and was considered healthy enough to be a rostered player. If he goes on LTIR again, the league may actually investigate that one because there's no reason (other than it's Murray) for him to be on LTIR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
