Description

Play Lyubushkin 3rd pair mins but with Rielly similar to how the Leafs have paired him with pure stay at home bruisers in the past. Sundqvist for another trusted C option, Lindgren for another solid G option and to be the backup to Woll again next season. Greer adds some sandpaper to the 4th line but is good enough defensively.

Could entertain the argument that I'm around a 3rd ish round pick or equivalent prospect off on the Hanifin deal if he's extending, would entertain adding a prospect of that value but I think this is relatively realistic.

Interesting offer to Washington but I don't know if they gamble on an AHLer for a goalie at this point

deadline deal, if he keeps playing the way he is or even drops off just a bit its a solid cheap backup with another year of term.

Why not? It's not like this team is playoff bound, you already have kuemper and can just give a young guy a shot from deadline to offseason and if you want sign a backup then
