Marner is definitely getting traded.

[Jozay]

Decent deal

 

[TLEH]

Seems odd to focus on lesser deal when marner isn’t done yet

 

[Foppberg]

So roughly 7M for Kapanen/Johnsson. Doesn't seem that bad

 

[Charles Calvert]

Good values for both guys. I wonder about Marner though.

 

[culturaldingo]

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

So 7m for both Kapanen and Johnson

They need to trade Zaitsev now

 

[Brewsky]

Son of a Mitch. Absolute great deals for Kappy and Johnsson.

4 years makes my heart swoon.

 

[DRW204]

So matleaus cap basically pays for aj and kk? What's left for marner + other roster spots?

Marner can sign if/when he wants to, Dubas still needs to take care of business.

Seems odd to focus on lesser deal when marner isn’t done yet

Seems more odd to shut down all operations just because one player doesn't want to play ball. Dubas has a team to run.

So how are they signing Marner?

Ya, that's half the cap space they have, and are still at 5 D-men.

These small deals seem fair, but lot of work to be done still.

Johnsson and Kapanen both doing the Leafs a favour.

 

[HFNHLOilers]

Both are not bad deals versus what they paid willy nylander. But they still in cap hell they saved i project about 2mill between the both of them. I expected 4/5 mill each player

 

[Liferleafer]

So matleaus cap basically pays for aj and kk? What's left for marner + other roster spots?

i think we had 14ish mil (including Horton's LTIR) prior to the Marleau deal....so we still have 14ish mil.

 

[Kelly]

So roughly 7M for Kapanen/Johnsson. Doesn't seem that bad

For 3-4 years which will help a ton as well.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Great day for the Leafs so far. Kap and AJ reportedly signed to great deals. Marleau gone, and currently knocking out of the park at the draft!

 

[leafsfan5]

This is another good deal, especially for 4 years.

But how tf are we gonna sign Marner and get some defensive help

 

[CatchyTune]

Getting Johnsson and Kap for around 7 mil combined makes me feel a bit better about the Marleau trade

 

[Kamiccolo]

Marner is definitely getting traded.

Why? Marleau's salary being moved covers both of these deals. Leaves them with over 12M of cap space without signing Marner.

 

[Kelly]

So how are they signing Marner?

With ink and paper I'd imagine.
