Description

These are just potential options looking internally for the most part. The defence core is the same because Holl is affordable and I think he will turn it around. Most of the forwards are defensively responsible and all lines are scoring threats.

I wanted to include Evander Kane but with everything that's going on with him right now I just made the team without him. He could obviously be signed instead of Turris (really a placeholder) and played instead of Simmonds or Aston-Reese.

Why would Arizona do this? Not a chance.

Robertson's not ready for NHL minutes let alone top line duties.

Kerfoot has more value than that, no point in dumping him for nothing that helps the team.

Mikheyev likely won't be back because he wants a higher role and Toronto doesn't have the room for that.

Turris is barely an option for the Oilers who lack depth every year, how is he good enough to crack Toronto much more deep lineup?

There's also no chance they go into next season with the same defence core if they don't go deep this season. That'll be the prime area of upgrade in the off-season.

More picks can be added, they were just an example.

Upgrade the defence core how? With what money? They'd have to move somebody like Brodie or Muzzin out to make money work so in order to improve you would need either 1 player or a combination of players who make the same money as Muzzin/Brodie that is better than just keeping Muzzin/Brodie. Might be impossible to do

Crazy how only trading Ritchie, Mrazek, and Kerfoot, signing Jack to a reasonable deal, signing one UFA for 1.5 mill, and another for 2.5 mill uses all of Toronto's available cap space

Not sure there is anything else they can do
