Description
The Leafs have a boat load of cap space this year, but have to be conscious of Matthews Marner contracts the following year. This lineup keeps in mind what Dubas might be interested in.

This team would definitely work, however, I think you'd have to pay more to get Skinner. I made a trade for him in one of my Armchair Teams recently, and I had more value than you do in this one but still got informed that it'd need to be more. But man, this team would rip the league apart.

Canes might ask for a bit more
Defence doesn't look that solid tbh, it seems like you're going all in by acquiring Skinner and Spezza for a year, just add a defenceman or two and this team is a cup contender. Other than that looks good. Habs fan btw

Yeah I get what you're saying. I think that D corps is better than they get credit for though. Polak and Hainsey really brought down our foot-speed this year, and Dubas believes in his young D. He knows what Sproul is capable of from his time in the Soo.

Maybe so, but Skinner's contract is up after this coming year so they may sell him a bit lower than his value just so they don't lose him for nothing.

As a Leafs fan, I like it, not loving DAL deal.
-I like that you didn't sign any of Tavares, Carlson or even JVR. You realised that it would be hell for our cap space in few years.
-That would not get you Jeff Skinner at all, rather keep Leivo and those picks and let guys in the system take place in the lineup, they would fight for that spot on even the 4th line. Grundstrom is the guy I'm talking about. But getting Skinner would be nice. That price tho.
-Hate the Spezza deal. We could get Thornton if he wants to end his career alongside player he started his career alongside (#1 and #2 overall picks in '97 draft)
-loving the Sproul signing. He is cheap but he has great attitude and has experience with both Babs (he was there when they drafted him in DET and was coaching him while in preseason camps so he knows what he is about) and Dubas (named alternate captain in SSM by then SSM GM Kyle Dubas, playing under him for 2 first years as GM)
-Hainsey would be playing. The odd man out is Carrick so it will be 1DP Gardiner-Hainsey, 2DP Rielly-Sproul and 3DP Dermott-Zaitsev and Carrick as 7th. Also count with Holl and Borgman having starts next season.
-I disagree with line combinations, I would suggest these (if these deals and everything happens):
Hyman-Matthews-Brown
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Skinner-Spezza-Nylander
Johnsson-Aaltonen/Lindholm-Kappy

Overall I like, it is realistic. Good job!
