Sure. He puts up 30-35 points playing solid D. That’s a perfectly good role player.

Well, at least that saves me from having to cheer for Marchand

For $2M, you’re not getting someone who has a good track record in the playoffs. You’re getting a role player.

Return is TBD. Roy almost certainly part of it. Is he all of it or is there more? We’ll see!

Puts Florida at around $5M in cap space to add a backup goalie, a couple forwards and a 7th D. Without moving salary out, they're basically out on the bigger names out there.

He's basically Marner-lite, but primarily on LW. If he rebounds, this is a fantastic deal.

Conditional 3rd rounder going the other way. Interesting buy low candidate. Looked like a promising playmaking LW before this past season.

Wings clearing cap space?

I mean, as 4th liners go, he is one.

Of the two, I'd prefer Brazeau. He doesn't appear to need an unsustainable shooting percentage to contribute - though, he doesn't provide as much of a physical impact as Jeannot. I'll take the extra depth offence/ability to move up in the lineup over the extra hits.

I don't take any denials coming out a GM's mouth at this time of the year completely seriously. Things move fast and change frequently. Not saying it will happen, but denials ring pretty hollow - especially from Vegas.

They obviously still need to shed some cap, but this trade effectively brought in replacements for Hague and Roy (downgrades, but not necessarily massive ones). There have been a lot of rumblings about them also trying to move Hertl. I guess we'll see.

Nope. Any professional contract makes them ineligible. They have previously considered the CHL leagues to be professional, but the recent agreement between the two associations changes that moving forward (though, only for D1 schools). https://www.collegehockeyinc.com/ncaa-eligibility/

With the way I expect the market to go, I wouldn't be shocked if he did get $2M+. If Frederic gets close to $4M, a healthy Jarnkrok is a ~$2M player - even if he only produces around his average season.

Guess Hague’s not part of the Marner trade (if it happens). Though, at that AAV, I’m okay with that.

If he signs, he can’t go NCAA. He’d have to go to junior.

Leafs get an extra year, Knies gets a little more coin. Little something for everyone.

Not unreasonable.

Maybe. I think it’s more likely they go the Tampa route - still good, but not deep playoff run good.
