He hits. He can score. He fights. What's not to like? DeMelo can cover for his mistakes. And he'll likely get 4-5 million in free agency so it's not an overpay.

Benoit hits and fights and will come at significantly less. 0 need for a 5m 3rd pair Dman here

And if you go scoring difference between Benoit and Zadorov is 3 goals

Zadorov is a cut above. But why not have both? Having two of those types of players would bring the best out of both.

Can there be a worse thought than a 20 man roster
Why?? Why?? Would Kampf have Arizona on his trade list?
Tverburg, Minten and Cowan all on the Leafs in October. C'mon
Too much term on those aging Dmen.
The Leafs get crushed .
