But how does this affect the Leafs?

Wow. He?s almost as good as Nylander. That?s just nuts.

The Leafs can pick up Myers after said buyout if he is amenable

Wait, what? I get moving McDonagh but I'm pretty shocked they couldn't get more for him.

Not without retaining salary, which they clearly did not want to do.

With the term left on his deal and his only okay production over the last couple seasons, this is probably fair-ish value to move the entire contract.

Just saw that he had a full NTC, so if he basically came down to Nashville or nobody it makes more sense to me. Because McDonagh, even at 33 years old, is still a very good defenceman. He played 22+ minutes a night on one of the best teams in the league in the regular season and playoffs and put up solid results. If he was a free agent right now I think he's get right around what's currently left on his deal on the open market.

It'll be curious how much this impacts Tampa. One of their biggest strengths the past 3 seasons was being able to have one of Hedman, McDonagh, and Sergachev on the ice at all times as they carried a weaker partner. If they don't get somebody else to jump into that top-3 spot that'll be a big loss to their defence group.

No buyout for Myers.

 

[bustaheims]

Neither his possession stats or his offensive numbers have been particularly good the last couple years. I wouldn?t sign him to that deal. His reputation is outpacing his actual performance.

Fair, but his microstats still paint a picture of him being a very effective defender. And it's not as if a large chunk of NHL GMs aren't still paying/valuing players based off their reputation. If it wasn't for the full NTC he would have gotten something decent in return.

$6M+ in cap space is nothing to sneeze at.

I was actually pretty curious about why McDonagh would waive his NTC. Kypreos says that he believes Tampa had an agreement with Columbus that they would claim him off waivers if the Lightning weren't able to trade him.

I'm sure it was more of an understanding.
