Confirmed with Link: [TOR/CBJ] TOR acquire Riley Nash for Conditional. 7th Pick in 2022

[Wrong Wilson]

Its the “Brendon Shananigan “ plan

Shenaniplan!

 

[hockeynorth]

so we have more space bc of this?

 

[McSnypsky]

This is like when we acquired, what I thought was Evgeni Malgin from Pitsburgh

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Looks like he did:



So they basically used the LTIR room, to acquire another player who is injured, and put him on LTIR as well.

Riley Nash is basically a 2.75M cap hit that is free for the Leafs*

*Provided that he plays in the playoffs.

Yea you are correct they placed Andersen on LTIR to get Nash to fit initially to get him on LTIR. But Nash himself isn’t creating more room for us to play with is mostly what I’m trying to get across, he negates his own LTIR space, and even if we pull Andersen off LTIR now we still fit everyone, so long as Nash stays on LTIR. But assuming we have to plan to activate Andersen before the playoffs, we don’t have that much more space to use. So Andersen’s maneuver was a tool to optimize our ACSL mostly. But it was necessary to temporarily get Nash on the roster like you correctly said.

With Boyd and Vesey scooped on waivers the team was short some depth players. There is a good 13th forward add.

If Riley Nash comes back healthy what does this mean for Engvall?

 

[The90]

I hope it's Foligno instead.

Same. Foligno is the type of player we need. Obviously not going to complain about hall either. But if I were to pick

Engvall will likely be moved in a deal for a legit #3.
At best Nash is a #4 C.

Thornton Nash Spezza

The main board thread is a cesspool of moronic proportions.

Andersen didn’t go on LTIR to make room. Nash is on LTIR already, but he likely did go o LTIR to optimize how much relief we get.

I believe it was stated earlier by a poster that Nash’s salary did have to go on our cap hit, so that’s why Andersen was put on it. Then we were able to put Nash on LTIR as well.

 

[zeke]

So either another move to clear salary or Andersen is done.

Yeah sure looks like Fred is done.

And that's just the first 5 posts

I keep cutting them down. Piece by Piece.

Riley Nash has now been traded twice in his career. First time was in 2010 when he was traded by Edmonton to Carolina for a 2nd round pick that turned into Martin Marincin...his new teammate.

 

[SprDaVE]

This is really confusing but I assume he's someone they like for playoff depth to replace Boyd.

But uh... this is still weird.

 

[crump]

If Riley Nash comes back healthy what does this mean for Engvall?

If he comes back during playoffs it means he waits until someone’s injured. He’ll have been off for what 5 weeks? He won’t be in game shape.

 

[therealkoho]

Read the entire thread , it will make sense
Or do the easy thing and ask our assistant to our assistant to our assistant GM zeke

High concepts in LeaFland are best not discussed, they create more confusion then Wayne Maki can swing a stick at.

GET SHWARTZ FROM ST LOUis!!!

Yup but does CBJ owe us something for saving them $$$$ ?

Okay I think I got it. How much cap space do the Leafs have to spend?

 

[therealkoho]

If we are going through pages at this rate
Imagine when we add Hall

I'd rather have Oates to tell you the truth

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

In order for this trade to be league approved, Andersen has to be moved to LTIR or traded.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Okay I think I got it. How much cap space do the Leafs have to spend?

There was a twitter post earlier that said before this deal the Leafs had ~$1.5m in space to work with. So assuming Andersen isn't done for the regular season, they have at most $1.5m to work with.

OK it looks like Dubas is playing 3D chess again while I am playing checkers. Question is what are the other GMs playing ??

 

[Shanwhatplan]

I have been one of the biggest critics of Dubas. I think I probably need to eat my words. Getting Brodie, Simmonds, Thornton and Bogo in the off season, and now Nash plus whoever else is coming, great job Dubas!
