Yes Tavares is waiving LOL. PLD the worse contract in the league for a 4th liner on LA. Gudas wouldn't sign with the leafs so why would he waive to come here.

Where else would you send Tavares? Granted PLD is a reclamation project, but he's still young and not double digits. Leafs would probably need to retain some money.

PLD has quit on every team he has played for. He is untradeable, no team is taking a chance on that contract.

Marner trade - I'd see that this could be an option for both teams; ANA gets a 80pts scorer, TOR gets a young potential player in Zegras and a good Defenseman.. Win win..

Tavares trade - I mean... PLD.. I don't know if Leafs fan would be happy about this.. It's the length of PLD's contract that bothers me for the Leafs to take on. Tavares' deal comes to an end, at TDL he may lift his NMC for a potential Cup contender IF Leafs aren't in again and Leafs would retain half his salary and would most likely get a prospect and a 1st late pick. But again.. Tavares will not waive if the Leafs are still in the race.

For the other two trades, pretty much good for both teams also. VGK get a few hundred K$ off their cap space, but I wonder if a good GM would hold off on any potential deal with VGK unless something comes back with the trade since they aren't even close to being in a bind here.. they have 20 player contracts and 800K$ left to spend including call ups.. They're about to lose Marchessault, Let them implode unless they give up their last remaining 2nd round picks for 25 & 26..

Gudas legit said this summer he didn’t want to play for you guys and he probably isn’t changing his mind now

Anaheim passes. We would rather have the years of control of Z than 1 year of Mitch

Tavares isnt going to waive, so you probably sending him to the 2nd line as usual, And to that point why is Marner going to waive for the ducks?

No team should be signing 30 year old UFAs to six year contracts.
C;mon Marner has no motivation to waive to poor team. Vegas keeps a Dman over a winger. One year of Tavares is millions times better than seven year of PLD.

My mind is blown at how many TOR fans think it makes sense for a rebuilding team at the bottom of the standings to be trading a core young, controlled piece for a year of Marner

Gudas has said No on Toronto and Verbeek says No on Zegras.
