bit more optimistic

Did you just trade Rielly straight across for subban?… and put him on the top pair?

It's after midnight, folks are getting tired. And trading Hutchinson, the only non Leaf goalies who is an NHLer. Why do folks still post 21 man rosters?

I don’t mind 21 man rosters but you better have 1m in cap space lol.

3.5m for Ritchie is such a bad idea. Subban to the leafs might be the worst idea of all. Brodie plays the right side. He prefers it. Subban is good on neither

Devils accept...No take backs

I say this with all due respect, cuz at the end of the day this is for fun to me and just putting out what I wish can happen. Ritchie had 26pts over the course of 56gms this past season. on an 82gm pace that's roughly 38pts if my math is correct. and he's just 25. in the current market I honestly find 3.5AAV over 3 to 5yrs to be a steal. How the Bruins haven't signed him to something like that already is beyond me and the Leafs would be missing out considering they desperately need LW depth. so why not go for a young guy as opposed to someone older like Neal right? as for Rielly, I made that trade mostly for the picks considering Dubas has incredibly just given Leafs picks away like nothing. and PK is on the final year of his deal, convince NJ to retain half that (because of the incredible amount of cap room they have, another reason I made this trade with them and not some other team), Leafs keep the younger LD in Dermott, dump Rielly's contract, Devils get to have a decent D to pair with Dougie should Morgan wanna re-sign there, we could re-sign PK to a 3x3 and put him on the second/third pair as years pass, at least we have a RHD that can skate, hit, and shoot. also saves money for next year when Spezza retires, Mikheyev probably walks tbh, and they'd put that money towards Campbell, Sandin, and Liljegren. they can then use those picks to actually try and get good RHD in the next draft in most rounds, not just anyone with a soo connection lol, so yea, there's my why I made those moves. like I said, I really just look for creative options and have fun with it, this probably one of the better and more realistic leafs rosters Ive made in quite a while. at least this one looks as if they can maybe pass the first round if Marner and Matthews decide to show up lmao. heck I'm sure I along with most people here even made far better rosters than what the Kraken decided to pull last week lol
