Thread: How I would handle the cap crunch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>APumaInAJar</b></div><div>I think for Kappy the Leafs should listen, maybe kappy and a second too, Also I think it would be smart to sign someone to compete for that spot, I really hate when a player who has never truly proven themselves at an nhl level is a "lock" for a spot, sign a guy for around 1 mil who is decent playing right or left side D, worst case scenario you trade him for a late pick or waive him.</div></div>

I think, at $750k on a 1-way contract...Rosen will at least make the roster...whether he gets the starting gig is another question. Probably have him, Borgman and Sandin in camp to see who impresses the most. Maybe a vet d-man on a &lt;$1m contract in there to compete too (on a professional try-out maybe).

I agree with <a href="/users/Jamiepo" target="_blank">@Jamiepo</a> on the trades. No need to pay to give away Zaitsev. I understand the need to move him if you want to allocate cap dollars elsewhere, but he can be moved without sweeteners as long as the leafs don't expect much more than a late draft pick or a random c-prospect in return.

Pesce will cost more but Carolina is obviously a possible trade partner.

Your numbers on Marner/Matthews might be low but we'll all have to wait and see. Either way, they're not far off probably....you have another $1m to use as you used an $82m cap and signs are pointing to $83m for next year...but the roster needs 1-2 bench players so that covers that.
