Lots of talks when they signed <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/tavarjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Tavares<\/a><\/strong> was about how they must have to trade one of their young guys to fit under the cap. However, that is not the case. Cheap contracts like these to bottom 6 guys are what will help. Between players like this and entry-level deals, it will be how the Leafs survive their upcoming cap crunch.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Moore has appeared in just 6 NHL games this season. He has one goal and two assists in that time. With the Marlies this season, he has 19 goals and 7 assists for 26 points in 30 games. Moore is just 23 years old and went undrafted. He was another good free agent signing for the Leafs, a thing they have gotten good at over the past few years. Guys like <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/borgman01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andreas Borgman<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/o\/ozhigig01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Igor Ozhiganov<\/a><\/strong> have contributed to the NHL team. While <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/rosenca01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calle Rosen<\/a><\/strong> has helped out in the AHL.<\/p>\n<p>It is a very safe bet that Trevor Moore will be competing for a roster spot next season. This new cheap contract may just help that. The benefit of having a one-way deal for Moore is that if he is sent to the AHL he gets his full salary. He would be paid $700,000 instead of the $70,000 he is this year. This is a benefit for richer teams like Toronto, who can use that to lower the NHL AAV.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"AqYJk-3iR056qEOvNeE6Fg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1077147282\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'AqYJk-3iR056qEOvNeE6Fg',sig:'TQkofAAy9cFE__gNS_hznW57K9Wqw1W7mOyUKxBtKaM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1077147282',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs announced they have signed forward Trevor Moore.
