[YP44]

Probably.

than in this offer he is not a dump IMO.

In this offer he has neutral or slightly positive value. Like a 3rd round pick.

yes they are , with a healthy Woll that is

No, they're not

- They have 16 regulation wins this year. That's 2 less than Arizona and sandwiched between Seattle and Washington, neither of which anyone would call a contender.
- Their starter is recovering from a serious confidence problem while the backup is still out and has only 26 games of NHL experience.
- Anyone who has watched them play this season will tell you that they completely rely on the Big Four. They have no consistent scoring depth, they are undisciplined, defensive breakdowns are a constant theme with this group and at least five other things.

Given the cap increase expected next year has already been spent on extending Nylander and the fact that this team's overall play is trending down it's very plausible the Leafs "window" has already closed, or is closing fast. And the theory of all that cap space they'll have to build a winner when Tavares is off the books? That's a whole other thread, but short version: Don't count on it.

 

[FSL KINGS]

King's don't have 3 million in cap to waste on an unproductive forward. Still a cap dump.

Edit: Could have kept Iafallo in that case.

To
Kings
2024 1st
Bertuzzi @ 50% retained

To
Leafs
Roy

Kings make room on Right Defense for Clarke and Spence while also getting a 1st from 17 to 22 overall and a top 6 forward who needs a change at 50% retained. Bertuzzi could also be retained by 50% by the Kings near the deadline and sold for a 2nd + prospect if they aren't near the playoffs.

Leafs get a top 4 d to pair with Reilly and strengthen their defense and hopefully extend Roy long term.

What does everyone think ?

As an objective fan that doesn't like either team. Helps both.
