This isn't 100% serious, don't expect it to happen and I'm sure there's a better solution than this, but I love the idea of aquiring players who used to be on your team. Always makes for a fun story line. And when you think about it, both JVR and Schenn would be nice additions to the team. JVR would add some depth scoring which is arguably the biggest need for this team. Schenn would basically replace Holl but he's more physical and cheaper.

As for the lines, I was hesitant to move Jarnkrok off the second line, but that second line is obviously the best fit for JVR. As for the D pairings, I could also see Schenn being paired with Rielly being a good idea too, but I thought it'd be best not to mess with the d pairings too much.

And of course, this is all assuming Muzzin stays on LTIR, if he has to come back this falls apart. But I would be shocked if he actually came back before the playoffs, can't see the maple leafs allowing that as it kills any big potential trade deadline adds they could make.
