If Austin Matthews is put on the shelf for the rest of the regular season I have a proposal that I can see happening.
NYRangers Trade
Zibanejad
Toronto Trades
Minton (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025
Considering what The Rangers have traded away and got for Trouba and Kakko this is about right for Zibanejad imo.
This will give The Leafs the centre they are looking to acquire as Zibanejad check marks everything.
Rangers obviously tearing some things down helps them Cap wise and more prospects for the future.
Thoughts ?

I think we should keep minten and trade Cowen.

If you are The Rangers do you want Minton or Cowan?
Leafs would have more Centre depth adding Zibanejad compared to RW is why Minton from both Teams makes the most sense, Cowan is still a higher prospect than Minton is imo, can't go by that tournament he is going to be I believe a star player in the end.

Cowan's stock went down drastically after the tournament. For a returning player he looked so out of place. Hopefully he can regain some form in the back half of the season and get his stock up.
As for the trade I don't think the Rangers have entered into a complete fire sale yet and even if they do I doubt Zibby is one to go. You don't sign your franchise goalie to that type of money and then trade a guy like Zibby who keeps you somewhat competitive. NYR is in shambles though so who knows.

How does Toronto fit Zibanejad contract in, when everyone is healthy?
Please try again
Toronto needs forward depth and Defence more than anything.

This can only happen if Matthews is injured enough to go on LTIR for the regular season, in the playoffs there is no Cap.
That's how it fits.
