Description

Future lines: (2022-23)
Drouin-KK-Suzuki
Perfetti-Rossi-Caufield
Tatar-Danault-Gally
Gourde-Evans-Ylonen
Sergachev-Jokiharju
Romanov-Weber
Norlinder-(Fleury or Juulsen)
Price
Primeau (or Primeau is #1 and Price is #2?)

I think Buffalo and TBay would be willing to pay huge prices to clear up cap and we should take advantage of that.
If Gourde won't waive his NTC than try to O/S Sergachev at 5x$6M
If Okposo won't waive his NTC than we keep Petry and try to move Domi + Oloffson's for Buffalo's first (Rossi)
Assuming we still draft 8th over-all and take Perfetti.
I added Allen for 1 year to give us a reliable back-up so Price only needs to play 50 - 55 games.
I added Thompson for 1 year to give us some experience and depth and to allow Evans to have an extra year in Laval to develop.
Adding the Joker from Buffalo makes Petry expendable IMO.
I would sign Norlinder and bring him to Laval so we have options if Romanov needs more time to develop in Laval. If neither Romanov or Norlinder are ready than Kulak becomes the third pairing Dman.
I would shelter Kotkaniemi for 1 more season with Lehk and Armia.

Leafs and Blues accept fast

The Tampa trade is fair.

The Buffalo trade is pretty bad for Buffalo in my opinion

Okposo is still good in the role he plays overpaid yes, is he the reason why they are bad no. Jokiharju is Buffalo best defensive defenseman and still only 20, while giving up a top 10 pick. I think they would decline.

Leaf don't have enough cap for Petry. And one year of Petry isn't worth a Leafs first. More nonsense about signing a upcoming UFA, as if it has value in a trade.
So why does Gourde waive his NTC to go into the pressure cooker of the Montreal press on a non playoff team?
If I'm a Montreal fan, I hate the idea of 11m wasted on Gourde and Okposo long term instead of better players.

Are you saying Petry isn’t worth a 1st rd pick ?
