LEAFS TRADE DEADLINE OPTIONS 2021-22

I like the option of getting Mayfield. Add him to our group. Either add him and not lose any of our current D. Or give dermott as part of the package and get Chara back as well for depth.

Too expensive, not good enough
bottom pairing guy, meh

too expensive, doesnt fill a need
i guess if he's decently priced
if he's dirt cheap, why not
lol, hell no

You should really watch anything chara has done the past 2 years. he is very very very bad now

Ristolainen?!?!?

Of what you selected there, the only defenders that I think the Leafs could possibly acquire (ie the Leafs and Habs are not dealing) that would provide them with a legitimate upgrade to their top-4 would be either John Klingberg, Josh Manson or maybe Scott Mayfield. I am much more hesitant at the prospect of the Leafs adding Manson or Mayfield because both are not very quick, and the Leafs play a hella quick transition and puck-moving game. It's one of the reasons Holl and, at times, Muzzin, has looked so out of place this season. The ideal fit would be Klingberg I think, or better yet, Chycrun, though both will cost large. Two defenders you don't have on your list are Travis Sanheim (PHI) and Connor Murphy (CHI). I think both of these players would be upgrades over something like Manson or Mayfield, I just am not sure what the cost would be to obtain such players with term.
