Moves for 2019-20

Leafs would do that in a heartbeat, but don't think Marleau would based on the rumors

TBL maybe. The rest of the trades = NO from CHI.
And FL trade no from Seabs.

Gus is worth a 1st and why in the world would you trade him and proceed to sign Gardiner for $5M when Gus is almost $4M less and the same type of player. Then you trade Saad for a 1 year rental in Faulk who we won't need next year. You do realize Boqvist, Mitchell, Byram and Beaudin would all be ready next year...what then?

Defense needs improvement. Saad was a third liner this past year and Faulk is a good defensemen on the last year of a deal and i don't think Saad is worth it @ 6 million dollars a year. Gus is in the final year of his contract and will command more than 1.2 million that might be comparable to Gardnier (if you say they are the same type of player). Boqvist, Mitchell, and Beaudin might be ready. If they don't resign faulk and Koekkoek those are 2 spots open. Also, keep that some of them might not work out.. what then? go out and over pay for a Brandon Manning type of player?

Q and Seabrook are going to be reunited one way or another. Whether it is this year or down the road.. Also I believe when Seabrook was drafted Tallon was the GM. i would gladly take a either a high draft pick or a High end prospect for Marleau, who is on the last year of his contract and we have the space to take it on. Anisimov is going to get traded (have you even been following the rumors?). Gus will be commanding a big contract and you still have to pay Strome and Debrincat so i think he will be traded
