Team: 2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 6, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I know, I know…. kadri is 33 and 5 years left…. But look how he’s played this year
I think Cowan is a solid bet to be on this team and I think he’s mature enough that he can succeed with Kadri/Nylander
Tavares gets to act as a mentor for Minten, lighter 5v5 matchups and still gets prime pp time
Leafs shell out for Roy
I think Barron’s style is a decent fit on the leafs and the habs have a ton of young D
Cole adds a strong pk option, can mentor young guys, versatile enough to take shifts with mccabe, rielly, roy

Doesn’t have to be Vladar but thought it’d be a cost-effective option and Calgary has to make room for Wolf

Calgary gets a young RD for Kadri, depends how much they value the cap flexibility and if Kadri is willing to waive his NMC to come back

For the following year, Tavares pay decrease + cap increase will help with bridging Knies and extending Marner, should be some leftover too

Potentially overpay for Cole to keep it at 1 year
