7 Point Plan

Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: May 24, 2022

Published: May 28, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Priorities

1. Keep Core Together
2. Keep 2022 1st round pick
3. Create Better 4th line
4. Move Tavares to the wing full time, Nylander to Centre
5. Improve backup goaltending
6. Add Top 6 Forward to help Nylander and Tavares line
7. Spend as close to the cap as possible


Jason Spezza, Marc Staal, Kyle Clifford and Wayne Simmonds will retire rather than play anywhere else- they get called up and down throughout the year and play and mentor Marlies players while sent down to the AHL

Toronto needs to offload Mrazek badly, Buffalo needs a goalie and would definitely take a pick and prospect to take on his remaining 2 years and Toronto would value a player coming back in that trade at a reduced rate plus Girgensons would provide some depth and grit

Toronto needs to find value in free agency- Offering players like Ho Sang, Cousins and Fasching more opportunity to play with skilled players could be a good incentive to take discounts and see who works out and who doesn’t

Trade Justin Holl to upgrade Top 6 forward position- Seattle Head Coach Hakstol loved Justin Holl and Holl had his best year under Hakstol coaching defence. Seattle is going to be looking to improve and Holl offers them a solid 3rd pairing RHD in return Toronto adds a forward that didn’t work out in Seattle but has had great success in Colorado in the past at a reduced rate
