tdl building a 3rd line

Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 6, 2023

Published: Feb. 6, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

3rd line has some scoring punch and isn't a liability defensively. Leafs need some more scoring outside the big 4.

Rumours of Van buying out Garland, this saves them cap in the long run to retain plus they can get a small asset

Kerf makes only 750k in real money, a team like Minny or Car might want him for a 2nd or 3rd. Useful player but Barbashev and Accari add a more physical element that the leafs should look to add.

try knies on the 4th line, i he still needs developing there are plenty of others that can fill the 4lw role, he just has a higher offensive upside than the other options (Holmberg, Mccman, ZAR, Hunt), and depth scoring has been an issue in the playoffs.
