Value of: Matt Martin - post July 1.

[justafan22]

With the leafs scratching Martin since the new year, his future in Toronto is in question. Once un-tradeable, Martin's bonus gets paid on July 1st, and then has a low salary for the last 2 years of his deal. This could be attractive to a floor team since they wouldn't have to pay him much but his cap hit still counts. If the leafs package a mid round pick with Martin, what would his value be? I'd put say a 4th + martin at around a 6th in return, but is that fair value?

Don't they have a ton of cap next year? Why don't the bury him in the AHL and trade him at the deadline?

Be nice to open up a contract spot...and every bit of cap we can save is a good thing. That said, i don't see any teams being interested.

Meh. I've seen worse deals been traded. 2 years though is the max that bad contracts that aren't in direct swap of each other (hey Phaneuf/Gaborik). Martin + 2019 4th for a conditional 6th is something I could see.

Hey, i'm all for it if a team wants to do that....

Clutterbuck and a 2nd for martin

Clutterbuck and a 2nd for martin

f*** no. That's the opposite of what the leafs are trying to gain from trading Martin.

What’s the point?

Leafs don’t need the cap this coming year. If he’s a pure cap dump, we won’t have to pay as much next offseason. But at the same time, I don’t think he needs to be seen as a pure cap dump. He’s a good locker room git, and some team with cap space and youngsters might want the protection be affords. Even if it’s a FC trade, after he’s passed through waivers.

Matt Martin for Loui Eriksson

 

[CREW99AW]

**** no. That's the opposite of what the leafs are trying to gain from trading Martin.

That is why he tossed in a 2nd.

Leafs take on Clutterbuck's crappy deal +2nd for Martin's unwanted deal.

Clutterbucks contract is 2 years and 9 million more expensive than Martin's. the difference isn't a 2nd.

This is what you get for signing 4th liners long term. Now they will have a hard time getting rid of him. If you sign him for 1 or 2 years, he'd be gone and that's it.

Disappointing.
I do not want either.

 

[habsgirl5000]

if he has a good attitude and good character, our dumb GM will probably give a second rounder for him...MB loves those grinders

It's 2.5 and it's not about the cap. It's about the roster space.

Hehe.

925k gets buried. 1.4 remains on the cap.

 

[Yamazaki]

If Reaves can get traded so can Martin. I think he’s a better player than Reaves as well.

 

[ffh]

Toronto will find a way to circumvent the rules and put him on ltir.

 

[justafan22]

Hehe.

925k gets buried. 1.4 remains on the cap.

Which is why it's attractive that his bonus gets paid.

 

[Jester9881]

Isles might be interested at about half the cap hit.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Literally anything we can get. Aside from all the reasons it would be a benefit to the Leafs, let the man go play some hockey. He can still play. He's just not good enough to play for us.

 

[shortfuze]

Keep him for the season. The season is long and it’s a grind. May not be a good player but you still need some toughness over the season. His contract doesn’t bother the leafs. Plus if it keeps a guy like Marner happy even better.

JVR, Bozak and Komarov open up them spaces.
