The EBA Plan

oilers dont do that. if they did leafs need to add.
Multi 50 goal seasons. multi 100+ point season hart trophy winner. centerman would not be 1 for 1

Leafs can and should add more. Multiple prospects, like a Minten and Knies.

We trade everyone, to get a rid of players who know how to distribute the puck for Matthews. We then create a defensive D core where Reilly now looks insulted with limited minutes and to be honest the D core is better than currently but still need some more puck moving defensemen which was a sore spot for us. The best two are Reilly and Montour. Skjej is a nice upgrade but he is not the most fleet of foot for moving the puck up the ice. Also our offense gets a lot worse with a very weak defensive second line missing lots of offense and a good first line as long as Draisatl can develop chemistry with Matthews. If not, then the overall forward corps starts really lacking. This does not make the team better and makes it worse it my opinion.

Also idea that Vegas trades sho much for a Ufa with a season that is low for his previous standards? Won't happen. We are better off keeping Tavares and telling his if you want to stay here you need to resign for a much lower cap hit something most insiders believe is a very strong possibility. Tavares over 10 is an overpay but between 6 and 7 million on a low 3-4 year deal is actually good.

nah bro you don't get to give willie $92 million and get out of it before it starts idc how great he'd be next to fantilli, we wouldn't do that if gaudreau wasn't going the other way. give up one of the most team-friendly contracts in the league and a 10.2c player who fits the timeline in exchange for a guy about to get paid huge for eight seasons and is 8 years older than fantilli.
