I actually think Winnipeg is in a worse position than the Leafs. They can't gut.
I'm not sure the Leafs will either, it really depends who is in charge going forward

your UFA valuations are hilarious, and not in a good way.Forwards
$11,640,250 - Matthews
$11,000,000 - Tavares
$10,903,000 - Marner
$6,962,366 - Nylander
$2,100,000 - Jarnkrok
$1,150,000 - Lafferty
$925,000 - Knies
$796,667 - Robertson
$762,500 - McMann
Defensemen
$7,500,000 - Rielly

$1,100,000 - Timmins
$800,000 - Giordano
Goalies
$4,687,500 - Murray
$766,667 - Woll
Salaries = $69,493,950 (Not counting Muzzin)
Cap = $83,500,000 (might be a bit higher, TBD)
Cap Space = $14,006,050
Re-sign
$4,000,000 - O'Reilly - Has to know he's losing it, so maybe he can get more, or maybe he feels like Toronto is good spot for him
$3,000,000 - Samsonov - Would've been in line for a lot more before a shaky playoffs, but he's solid enough to split with Woll
$1,500,000 - Bunting - Also cost himself a bigger payday with his 2nd half/playoff foolishness, but I think he wants to be here
$1,500,000 - Schenn - Can we get him to want to be here, or will another team pay him a Chiarot/Gudbranson payday
Trade
$4,687,500 - Murray - Get rid of him any way you can without retention.. attach a few picks/prospects/rights and bury it

Targets
Tom Wilson - The last piece we should've made a play for at the deadline... Would look amazing beside Matthews or Marner
Tyler Bertuzzi - Could've been a great option too, what would he be looking for?
Travis Konecny - Philly is rebuilding, could he be a target for some picks/prospects?
Nazem Kadri - Funny enough, at $7mill I like him even though the back half of his deal will be a mess.. maybe @ 25% retain?
Brayden Schenn - Also on the back half, but StL is building their core on Kyrou + Thomas in their early 20's, Brayden is expendable
Brendan Lemieux - Dirty on the edge kind of player we are missing.. smaller side, but would run through a wall
Max Domi - Similar chippy type who can score and play up and down lines, though is a 3rd liner at best these days
With almost $9mill and 2 holes (though Lafferty is a joke and should be moved too, plus still counting McMann's salary), we aren't far off, but we need shameless protection of guys like Marner, Matthews, Nylander who shouldn't be worried about it.
Wilson is the guy.
The others on the list fit the bill.
Likely? No.
Necessary? Yes.
Otherwise it will unfortunately be more of the same result.
I'll be annoyed if he's still around on opening day. Sammy-Woll deserves another shot as a tandem and should be the right price too.Good luck trading Murray, even though he seems to get moved a lot.

Zona wants no part of players whose actual salaries far exceed their cap hits, like Murray's does next year. I'd be shocked if they traded for himIt'll cost us a decent prospect and pick, but I think a team like Arizona would bite on it.
I'm sure all could get more for sure, but the question is from who and do they want to go there.your UFA valuations are hilarious, and not in a good way.
although you may actually be too high on Schenn (others are all way too low) but it's tough to say how much his sweetheart playoff run will influence his next deal. he's been close to a league minimum guy for years now.
and no thanks to Tom Wilson's decline years, or any part of the newest Naz deal.
of the players you listed I think Bertuzzi is the only one I'd have any interest in.
Wouldn't be surprised if Dubas has other offers he's considering, but I'm a fan of what he's been able to do.my gut is telling me that the Doobie man is gone. which likely means Keefer goes too.
interested to know if Dubas was doing Shanny's bidding with the gudpro nonsense or if he subscribes to it...
O'Reilly is on the decline, but still decent. Maybe he can get $6, but from who?
Bunting f***ed himself with us, so I could see Dubas (if still here) playing the relationship/friendship cards for a little raise and 2yr prove it deal. But you're right, open market he could probably catch $3-4.
Samsonov I'm not sure TBH. Goalies get paid handsomely, sure. But he was shaaaaaaaaky in the playoffs. Probably could go up to $5 on the open market, but Dubas loves to grind down RFA's while we have the control.
Schenn is the wildcard... seeing what some guys got last year he could probably fetch up to $4 on the open market. But if he likes it here and wants the Gio treatment, I could be $1.5.
This assumes that Nylander would have scored later and that Florida would have played the rest of the third the same way.
If they can Dubas, I may be done.
