Doesn't he have NTC?

NTC guys can be exposed in the expansion draft, NMC guys cannot unless they waive to give permission.

Weird trade to start the day.

Toronto sends Patrick Marleau to Carolina. Carolina is going to buy him out and accept the cap hit, and the rumor is that Marleau will then return to San Jose on a cheap deal.

But here's the full trade...

Toronto gets:
2020 6th round pick

Carolina gets:
Patrick Marleau
2020 conditional 1st round pick
2020 7th round pick

The condition is that if the 2020 1st is a top-10 pick, Carolina will get the 2021 1st instead.

Either way, Toronto had to give up a first round pick to get some salary cap relief. A steep price.

Smart move by Toronto, they did the same thing we just did with Miller...….freed up cap space for contracts we need to sign.

When I got up today one of the first tweets I saw was that we are thinking of doing the same thing with the Callahan contract. Seems we are looking for another team that needs to get above the caps basement.

Except we got a 1st and the salary relief, Toronto gave up a 1st to get salary relief.

You guys are hilarious calling TJ dead money. Almost 30 goals at even strength which led the team, playing less than 16 minutes a game and making just 5M. Killorn, ok. Palat, ok. TJ? Give your heads a shake. If he were a free agent he'd be getting 8M+

I wont call him dead weight, but he had like 40 points playing on a line with point and kuch most of the year. Less than 16 minutes is 4th on the team among forwards as well. But, the reason I say trade him is I think he has value. To me, hes a good player, but we have guys I think can step into his role.

We don't have anyone who can contribute 28 even strength goals next year or the foreseeable future, and we won't find that available around the league. Obviously he's a playoff contributor too.

Really depends on what kind of value we get back for him. 5M for a 30 goal scorer who doesn't get 1st team powerplay time, better be a haul.

Nice job by JBB o deal Miller for a conditional 1st in 20/21 a 3rd this year and a young goalie.

My entire Twitter timeline this week seems like it's been Mikhail Shalagin highlights. Just sayin'.
