That 1st round pick won't have the impact on the Canes that Marner will have on Toronto.
No way any team is gonna fork 4 st round picks and cripple the franchise.Probably not, but wouldn't it be nice if they lose the pick to make cap space for Mitch Marner who then gets offer sheeted and accepts
Canes bailed out Toronto. It's almost like they don't know that Toronto is competition and that they just helped them afford to sign Marner. It's going to be a very late 1st.
Which is exactly why he posted that article, because of the cap implications in each scenario.It’s all good Dom lol but we are dealing with the cap.

I don't see how the Leafs caught a break.
After the reported extensions for Kapanen and Johnsson, they still don't have the space to sign Marner and actually fix their roster even with Marleau gone. They also cannot trade their 2020, or 2021 first as CAR owns it until conditions are met.
So still not enough room, and can't improve the roster with a first rounder until at least next offseason. Say goodbye to multiple seconds and thirds Dubas.
Toronto will only catch a break if a team decides to take on Zaitsev.
Not sure how I forgot about that clown, but yeah him too.Or Kadri
was a return to Boston discussed?Good discussion on the main board about Backes going to Ottawa. I'm sure it's not David's top choice but it beats Providence and Ottawa needs to reach the cap floor, high cap/low salary ideally.
The pieces being discussed in the swap are Zboril (Jr teammate of Chabot), Lauzon (WJC partner) and Senyshyn (Ottawa native). Not all three but some combination with Lauzon holding the most value. I'd be very happy with that kind of deal.

They have $13M in cap space with 9F and 5D signed. They still need to sign Kapanen and Johansson. As bad as Gardiner is defensively, they will be losing an offensive defenseman that can score 30+pts. They can deal Zaitsev for $4M+ and if they are lucky and someone takes on that full contract, they will be down to three top 4 defenseman, one of which, Dermott, may be out until November at best. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.Canes bailed out Toronto. It's almost like they don't know that Toronto is competition and that they just helped them afford to sign Marner.

I don't think it matters, just get DB off the books. Personally, I'd like to get STL's 6th round pick. If for no other reason than to hope it comes back to haunt them one day.was a return to Boston discussed?
I think it's just fans. Coach Parker is representing us in these negotiations.Is this just fans talking or is it more then that?
Maybe I should?I think it's just fans. Coach Parker is representing us in these negotiations.
