Description

Overall, Jim Rutherford has the team going in the right direction based on his moves this offseason, but personally, I still would've done things differently.

I had to adjust the cap cuz of Bjugstad's retained salary trade. If I just bought him out I wouldn’t be over it.

What'd you guys think of my hindsight offseason plan? Is team strong enough to win the cup?

Leafs don’t have space for Murray + Andersen - they’d probably want a really quality piece instead of murray and I think pettersson is a LD which Toronto is full on the left side correct?

Pens3lieve liked this.

Toronto was interested in moving Andersen to Calgary at the beginning of the offseason so I based the move on that. Pettersson played the left side in Pittsburgh but I believe he also has the ability to play the right.

ah yes, it's been a while since one of your patented terrible Marner to the pens trades that the leafs would never consider in a million years even without the weird ass random retention number
