Some new and old ideas

Team: 2017-18 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: May 12, 2017

Published: May 12, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Picks:
1 - 17th
1 - 31st
3 - 70th
4,4,5,6,7

DAL:

They shed one of their expensive goalies for no cap on the books (Lupul can go on LTIR). Problem with LTIR for Leafs is it doesn't work since we have so many rookie bonuses. We send Marchenko and get back a failed prospect and a mid pick. Leafs get a tall backup goalie and if he fails Sparks might be ready.

PIT:

Used Hanzal as a comparable but basically PIT desperately will need a center and will be looking for another cup. Bozak wins faceoffs and can put up points, would be very versatile and a good fit with Kessel. Hanzal got a 1st, 2nd and 4th so this is reasonable, especially with how small the center market is.

WSH:

Washington is a crapshoot right now in terms of where they're going but in this scenario we take back an awful contract for another LTIR player and then we send back a B prospect and a uber quick and skilled Soshnikov in return for a player who could be offersheeted and might be expensive. In this scenario WSH decides to keep Oshie and Williams and a couple other important players and don't really have room for Burakovsky. For people thinking they'll trade Ovi, your crazy they can still continue but its just hard to gauge their thinking right now.

FLA:

Dale Tallon has made it extremely known that he's looking for a goalscoring winger, and JVR fits the bill, and in return we get a good pick. JVR is also traded with an extension in place, which is decently favourable considering Florida doesn't have state tax. Regardless he's a good player and I think could fit in nicely with Jagr and Jokinen aging.

WIN:

I don't feel like listening to everyone say it's going to take Gardiner and Kapanen plus. We give them a good pick package plus B+ prospect in Leipsic. I threw in Orpik because I feel he fits the big mean blueline they're going for and for less than 3million its not a bad deal but if they really don't then he can be removed. This is reliant on Winnipeg wanting to trade Trouba as they're worried about an extension. But also this draft has a bunch of good left handed defenseman and if that's what they're looking for they can certainly address it there. If Winnipeg wants more than honestly I would be okay with going back with the same defenseman plus Dermott and keeping the picks.
