Description

There's No Need to Draft When We Can Just Buy and According to this Site, The Leafs Have The Best Prospects in the League Apparently

How about this for a Rebuild and Stocking the Cupboards Full of 1sts and Prospects!?

Defence will need some work, but when Mantha comes off the books, that'll free up $5.7mil to pursue one via Free Agency or Trade for one in the off-season

The Alternative would be to Trade Hanifin with no retention to PIT for Ryan Graves + a Pick/Prospect

Obviously this thread isn't terribly realistic or serious, but if everybody feels the Flames need a shake-up, re-set or rebuild and to accumulate Picks & Futures, well here you go!

For anybody wanting to say I'm $1.5mil over the Cap without looking, that's easily resolved by sending down 2 Forwards, since I have 15 on the Roster at the moment

Okay, blast away with your "Knies is the next SuperStar, he would cost at least (3x) 1st Round Picks, if not more", and "Blah, Blah, Blah, etc., etc., etc."

Knies would instantly become the best player in Calgary lol.

Just this season where he's been on the 3rd/4th line most of the year with just 2 games in the top 6 he'd already be your 2nd highest scorer.

LOL, honestly there isn't much in there coming from Toronto other than Knies and Liljegren neither of which is going to be half the player Leafs fans like to fantasize about them being.

I'd put Knies floor as a good bottom 6 player with a good chance of soon developing into a middle 6 player who can play up and down the lineup without looking out of place.
Lilly's floor is an average 6th/7th D on a team with a good defensive corp who's ceiling is no more than a good 5th/6th D on the same kind of team.
