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 one more three. Domi and Kampf have partial no-trades.
John Tavares will doubtless re-sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs for 2 to 4 years. He’ll be 35-years-old within the fall. A comparable may very well 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 underneath the Blues core. That core doubtless consists of Brayden Schenn, Colton Parayko, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, Justin Faulk and Jordan Binnington.
The Blues would doubtless have so as to add one thing to maneuver Faulk’s contract. Unsure 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 possibly Buchnevich have a variety of worth however what can groups provide 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 time. If you wish to change the core, transferring Schenn would make sense.
Darren Dreger mentioned it could take a ‘mammoth’ provide 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 staff has heard linked to Schenn.
