Description

The trade gives the leafs a true complement to Gardiner and a "heavy" forward. They may juggle the pairings but to be honest Muzz and Mo are playing very good together, Zaitsev and Dermott have played well together when put together, Gardiner would get a solid Defensive Dman to tidy up his brain farts. Glendening is a player it is rumoured the leafs kicked the tires on a few times now are would give the leafs more Heaviness to their forwards.

Is Jensen really better than Hainsey?

I would say he has put up solid advanced stats with players past their prime and been playing 20+ min a game against top tier talant he would definitely give hainsey a run for his job and would worst case be a tremendous 7th dman off the bench if hsinsey begins to struggle like he did last playoffs.

Seems like so many Leaf fans and non Leafs fans want to acquire all RHDs from non playoff teams. Not that I wouldn't mind having him, but it seems to be an obsession that all these other RHD are so much better than the Leaf players. Actually I wouldn't mind having Jensen as Leaf next year if affordable since Gardiner and Hainsey will be gone.

I would say if they really want to ensure they give this roster the best chance at winning they need a liitle more depth at d and for the rumoured price of Jensen and the fact he happens to be RHD and able to play 20+min a game he seems like a good piece to tidy up the loose ends the leafs have. This is probably the only shot the leafs have at a cup til the 2021 playoffs seeing they will need to survive capwise next season and really not spend so i really have no issue if Dubas gives Babs the extra RHD and the heavy forward he has been asking for.

There is a common trend in the NHL where all good teams have "cap issues" it comes with being a good team and is a great problem to have. Just like every other good team the Leafs will establish their core of 5 or 6 fwds at 3 or 4 dmen and pay them. Everyone else will be moved out and other players moved in. "Cap issues" yes but is it really an issue if ur winning ?
