That also assumes that the Leafs want to spend right up to the cap rather than banking more space for the deadline.īoth Jarnkrok and Engvall could shift over to center, so the new forward wouldn’t necessarily have to be a center. If Sandin signs a slightly more expensive two-year deal than Liljegren, you’re probably looking at $1.5 million to $2 million in cap space. We can bump that up to about $3.6 million if you replace Simmonds with Clifford. Trading Kerfoot and keeping Holl gives you about $3.5 million for Sandin and another forward. The league minimum forwards are pretty much interchangeable from a cap-hit perspective, so let’s not waste time worrying about whether it will be Robertson, Malgin, Gaudette, Anderson, or Clifford who will win the final spot.Ĭap Space Remaining (for Sandin + another forward): ~$3.47M. We can debate the best combinations another time.
