Description

As this is my first AGM of 2021, first, I'd like to say hi to you all in the CapFriendly community and I wish all of you to a healthy, safe and wonderful 2021!

Second, I'd like to preface this AGM on the assumption that Pierre-Luc Dubois is truly available. He may, he may not, but if he truly is, I think the Leafs have to at least try, right? In theory, the Blue Jackets and Leafs match up well, however the caveat is both the quarantining issue this season and the fact that the Leafs are super tight against the cap.

As a side note, I would consider Nick Robertson and Rasmus Sandin pretty untouchable as far as Leafs' prospects are concerned.

Regardless, let's take a shot. As always, looking forward to your thoughts, comments, feedback and critiques :)

No from CBJ, a lot of other teams can beat that offer.

if you can't win with the centers you have PLD isn't going to make a difference.

If you want PLD, one of the big 4 is going. I would imagine CBJ would want a C coming back, which isn't going to happen.

Toronto and Columbus are not good trading partners for PLD.

Toronto should really only be offering to raise the price for divisional rivals.

PLD just makes the team top heavier and eats cash that could be distributed to other areas of the team. Centre isn't an area of concern.
