How the NHL Salary Cap Shapes Trade Strategy within the Modern Era
A have a look at some Toronto Maple Leafs players who is probably not back next season
Jonas Siegel of The Athletic: Taking a look at some Toronto Maple Leafs players who is probably not back next season.
Max Domi has a 12-team no-trade clause and two years left at $3.75 million. There is probably not a giant market, but someone might like his versatility for an inexpensive acquisition cost.
Calle Jarnkrok, a free agent that didn’t provide much value last yr.
Matias Maccelli will likely be back. He’s owed a $4.1 million qualifying offer, but possibly they might work out a deal before at a lower cap hit. If Craig Berube is back behind the bench, the chances increase that Maccelli won’t be.
Jacob Quillan is a 24-year-old pending RFA, and it’s likely they won’t qualify him. The contract wouldn’t be for much, though.
Nick Robertson is one other pending RFA, and he likely won’t be back with the Leafs next season.
Right-handed defenseman Brandon Carlo has a yr left at $3.49 million and ought to be easy to maneuver. Being right-handed and at a very good number will generate interest.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson shall be 35 in a couple of months and has two years left at $3.5 million. He put up 39 points, and they might have the ability to get some assets for him. They considered trading him on the deadline.
Morgan Rielly, with 4 years left at $7.5 million, will likely be back unless latest management can ‘force’ him out. He’s got a full no-movement clause.
