Description
This team is really balanced in addition to being pretty cost-controlled all things considered. I tried making this team as deep as possible, while having a good mix of offense, defense and character without sacrificing speed/size/skill.

Before CBJ fans raid the comments, I want to specify that I HIGHLY doubt that the Jackets trade Jenner, but he'd be a perfect fit the Leafs imo. I also love Laughton as an extremely strong 4C.

I signed Sherwood because he seems like the type of player that Berube would like.

Sprong is criminally underrated imo and he'd add some good scoring touch to that third line. He's also the perfect guy to temporarily move up to the top 6 in case of an injury.

I don't think I need to go into depth for the Pesce and Montour sigining. They're what the Leafs desperately need. Pesce is a defensive defender who is actually good defensively, and not just a stay at home plumber who is big and physical. Montour is an outright stud in every way who would help take some workload off Rielly.

For the Marner and Saros trade, this type of trade has been done a million times already, so I won't go in depth.

Thoughts? I'm a fan of none of these teams and I just figured I'd take a shot at making them better.

    Retained Laughton starts with 1st, especially with 3rd going along with him. Timmins is worth basically nothing in this.

    Start by getting that defensive pylon Rielly off the top pairing.

    Boone would be a great fit for any team - plays all F positions, can fit anywhere in the lineup, and is still a 25-30 goal guy on a garbage CBJ team.

    But yes - he’s said he wants to stay, management has said they don’t want to move him. Objectively, this may be good value; but, the package it would take to actually move him would need to be above and beyond this.

    Once and for all, Toronto DOES NOT HAVE THE ASSETS TO TRADE FOR JENNER EVEN IF HE WERE AVAILABLE (WHICH HE IS NOT). So please stop with this foolish fantasy. It is not happening. Get over it.
