You have too many good players and you don't know how you'll pay them all. This is a good problem to have.
But usually you have won a cup by then so its not so hard to take.

I don't understand the angst? There is a full year to go.
Remember the angst of no cap space, and having to get rid of Marleau and Zaitsev?
Well, you weren't improving your roster by not moving pieces out. And Gardiner/Hainsey are UFA, so that's no "price", they weren't part of the equation anyway, and the Leafs were still cap strapped with huge holes without them.But that also cost Gardiner, Brown, Kadri, Hainsey and a first round pick. There is always a price to pay.
Muzzy will not be an issue to re-sign. His wife and family want him to finish up a Leaf. This is why I like local guys who dreamt of playing for the Leafs as kids.
You always keep your d core. Wingers are highly replaceable.Next year you need to keep the expansion draft in mind. Protecting Rielly, Barrie, Muzzin, Dermott will mean you lose either one of Kapanen or Johnsson or need to send Seattle something to not take them. I know it is a good problem to have, but re-signing Muzzin can result in losing Kapanen for free...

i am not sure you have it right.7-3-1 for protected players. Seven forwards: Looking at the current forwards MM, Willie, JT, AM, Kerfoot, Kap, AJ, and Hyman are the keepers but Hyman's deal will be expired, and Bracco and Mekheyev, will be exempt.
Three D men: I don't think they resign Barrie, but if so they protect him, Rielly and Muzzen with Ceci being the odd man out. Muzzen will be looking at a NM as will Barrie if they re-up. and I don't think the club will want all NM clauses in their top 4 which is one of the reasons they won't resign Barrie. Of course if Muzzen has a bad year, Ceci becomes a beast, or a Marlie storms onto the scene the mix might change.
i am not sure you have it right.
IIRC first/2nd year "pros" are exempt
littlegrin has 2 years of AHL "pro" already
Sandin/Bracco 1 each
and there are 2 seasons of "pro" hockey to play before the Xdraft
ahhhh excellent,,someone who knows how to see light in the deep grey of the rulesBelow is from the Vegas rules but they are supposed to be unchanged.
Prospects
All players with fewer than three years of professional experience are automatically exempt from selection. This also includes unsigned draft picks, and signed players that have yet to play a game.
A year of professional experience is 10 professional games played under a NHL contract, including regular season and playoffs. For players who are aged 18 or 19* (on Sept. 15th of a given season), those specifically have to be NHL games. Everybody else it can be any league, as long as it’s under an NHL contract.
*The exception is a “19-year-old” player who turns 20 between September 16th and December 31st, and signed their first contract that same calendar year. For those players all games under an NHL contract count, no matter what league.
So Lilly was 19 on September 15th of last year and played no NHL games, meaning his 18-19 year wasn't included in the pro accrual. He will have 2 years and Sandin 1 year.
ahhhh excellent,,someone who knows how to see light in the deep grey of the rules
TYVM.
I feel much much better now about those issues ,,,,ahhh and Bracco?
NOT any more. The days of the Leafs cap issues are gone.
Thanks Dubas!
The following year Leafs currently have only Rielly under contract and all of Barrie, Muzzin, Ceci are all UFAs and Dermott at RFA without contracts. So Dubas will need to sign at minimum 5 dmen for the 2020-21 season.
You don't think any of Liljegren/Sandin are ready by the 2020/21 season?
They might and we hope they will become successful NHLers down the road, but I was only referring to the current NHL roster for this year, which I don't believe either are being considered.
Leafs might want to stagger their NHL arrival to remain competitive so one in 2020-21 and the other in 2021-22 so they don't have 2 rookie Dmen on the defense.
