Seemingly no buyouts for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and a John Tavares comp
James Mirtle of The Athletic: (mailbag) Don’t assume 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 can 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 seemingly 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 wish 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 seemingly contains Brayden Schenn, Colton Parayko, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, Justin Faulk and Jordan Binnington.
The Blues would seemingly 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 lots of worth however what can groups supply proper now?
Schenn has three years left at $6.5 million, is already 33 years previous, and is the captain. Buying and selling Schenn would undoubtedly alter the core. He has a full no-trade now however a 15-team no-trade this summer season. If you wish to change the core, transferring Schenn would make sense.
Darren Dreger mentioned it might 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 may 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.
