Probably no buyouts for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and a John Tavares comp
James Mirtle of The Athletic: (mailbag) Don’t suppose any of Max Domi, Ryan Reaves or David Kampf are buyout candidates for the Leafs. Reaves would carry a cap hit of $450,000 for 2 seasons however placing on waivers would clear the wage for one 12 months, or be $200,000 within the minors. Domi and Kampf have signing bonuses. Kampf could be $1.68 million for 2 years, then two yeas of $358,000. Domi would save $1 million for 3 years however then add $500,000 for an additional three. Domi and Kampf have partial no-trades.
John Tavares will probably re-sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs for 2 to 4 years. He’ll be 35-years-old within the fall. A comparable could possibly be Joe Pavelski‘s three-year, $7 million per contract with the Dallas Stars in 2019.
Buying and selling Brayden Schenn would make sense if the St. Louis Blues need to alter their core
Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic: (mailbag) St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong famous final month that issues haven’t actually modified beneath the Blues core. That core probably consists of Brayden Schenn, Colton Parayko, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, Justin Faulk and Jordan Binnington.
The Blues would probably have so as to add one thing to maneuver Faulk’s contract. Undecided how a lot curiosity Binnington would get and the return is probably not as a lot as his worth to the Blues. Parayko, Thomas, Kyrou and perhaps Buchnevich have loads of worth however what can groups supply proper now?
Schenn has three years left at $6.5 million, is already 33 years outdated, and is the captain. Buying and selling Schenn would positively alter the core. He has a full no-trade now however a 15-team no-trade this summer time. If you wish to change the core, transferring Schenn would make sense.
Darren Dreger mentioned it could take a ‘mammoth’ supply for the Blues to commerce Schenn. Together with his contract going till he’s 36, may scare some. thinks if they might get a first-round choose for Schenn, they’d transfer him. Would the Blues retain wage?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are the one crew has heard linked to Schenn.
