BigTramFan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 ...let's take advantage of their current cap situation... They have 22 players on their roster (12F + 8D + 2G) and only $0.4m in cap space. They want to resign LW/RW Mikheyev - an RFA with arbitration rights. They will probably send one of their ELC Dmen down to save another $0.9m and then low ball Mikheyev for a $1.25m contract. Why not offer sheet him to a $1.439m contract? I can't see the Leafs able to match. The pick compensation is a measly...nothing. And if we can't afford Toffoli it might be a nice way to take a flyer on a big young Russian winger, 6'3", scoring at 0.58 pts/gm, while screwing the Leafs at the same time. Could be a nice fit on Horvat's right flank... If nothing else we make the Leafs have to urgently trade him for scraps to avoid the offer sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL'er Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 They can go 10% above the cap so will match... Just pisses them off and makes JB look like a dycke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pisses them off and makes JB look like a dycke They can go 10% above cap but then they still have to move him or another contract out to fit. Oh yeah this is ME doing that, not JB! I know JB wouldn't do it, but I'd do it to piss them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Mikheyev would not sign this offer He also literally can't since he filed for arbitration Toronto would match it happily if he did Would be unprofessional for Benning to do this just because U hate the Leafs Would Mikheyev be a cool trade target for Horvat's wing? Yes Edited October 12, 2020 by Teemu Selänne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to make it an offer high enough that the player would want to sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
