The Kings have tonnes of Cap room and will likely be looking for ways of taking advantage of this and using it to their advantage in stockpiling prospects/picks
The Leafs are looking for the opposite - and would likely be looking for another team to "create" cap space for them - in turn giving prospects/picks
PROPOSAL =
Frederik Andersen + Rodion Amirov + 2021 1st round Pick
FOR
Jonathan Quick (50% retained) + Alex Iafallo (50% retained)
Leafs GAIN $775,000 in CURRENT CAP SPACE & gain a top 6 -9 forward that can move up and down their lineup WITHOUT having to give a current roster forward! (it would shore up their 2nd line and/or forward group)
Kings flex their cap space muscle by retaining on Quick (who isn't part of their future plans) and retain on Iafallo (who may or may not be) BUT essentially gain TWO first round PICKS (Amirov and 2021 pick) PLUS the ability to then flip Andersen to a team such as Colorado perhaps??? and get EVEN MORE assets!
could be a win win for both teams
it could also be a means to an end for the leafs as well - having Quick at 2.9M and "locked up for next year as well" - would allow them to
- expose him for Seattle
- still have the flexibility to now give Hyman an extension/raise as well
- still be able to add another forward and/or dman at the deadline as well (without tinkering with chemistry/deleting players) - Glendenning, Vatanen, Kulikov, etc
