Description

Rid yourself of Matthews to save Arizona. Profits would be in the black if you added a hometown hero without giving up Cooley. Leafs get arguably worse HOWEVER, in two years time, you have yourself an amazing roster! Discuss

Ryan Leonard 6th OA
Zach Benson 12th OA
Oliver Bonk 28th OA

Leafs roster in 2025-2026:

Knies Leonard Marner

Bonk Niemila

Samsonov

Love AM but AZ cant give up 6OA + 12OA (in this deep of draft) + middle 6 C + bottom 6 C (geekie projections) thats 4 important pieces for 1 elite piece. Cant see TML fans want to regress for couple of years (Hayton only piece ready to play)
