Next year roster

The only way Hyman leaves Toronto is if someone offers him 5Mx7

Not a Hyman fan, especially at that dollar value. Spend about $1.7M more and grab Tatar and start Holloway on the 3rd line.

The Koskinen and Turris buyouts are unnecessary: bury Turris for the year and run Ullmark as the starter. Dreidger isn't legit enough for my taste: Edmonton's burned through enough unproven goaltenders in my lifetime. It's time to pay someone who's a bona-fide starter. I'm much more preferential to Grubauer.

I'd prefer Hjalmarsson or Martinez on a short-term deal over Savard in this case. Handedness is key, and preventing term from blocking Broberg and Samorukov needs to be considered.

If there's no taxi squad for next season, just waive Stalock and free up the extra money.

Every fan figures their teams UFA's will take a team friendly deal to stay in town lol

Switch Soderberg and McLeod, Holloway to 3LW, take Hyman's 4M and Driedger's 2M and sign a top LW. Run Ullmark and Stalock as your goalies.

I agree with everything but personally I don't see Tatar being a fit for McDavid. I know he's young, but I'd rather see Holloway on line 1. McD has rarely found good chemistry with guys, but when he does, they have speed and strength. Tatar seems like a decent finisher but imo, no part of his game screams out that he's a good fit. Iaffolo or Janmark are good fits imo. Maybe Armia. Possibly Hall at the right price

I'd also like to see Holloway at 3LW with an actual 3C. Maybe McLeod works out there next year but I doubt he can produce enough. Our current bottom 6 is quite bad
