Description
Just want this to be a thread. What should the leafs do to address their d? I don't think its as bad as people think, as dermott for a full season will be huge, and Jake Gardiner is hated way more than he should be. That being said, they still need help, probably on the right side. SO who should they go after, if anyone? And should they go big and maybe trade Nylander(an idea i hate) or just make a smaller move?

We have Ozhiganov. Lets see how he does. He would be very positive surprise, which means.. we dont trade for anybody and Dubas addressed our need.

i really don't know what to expect from him, but I'm not sure he can slide into the top 4 this season. And without a solid addition on the right side that can play top 4 minutes, its more over reliance on hainsey and zaitzev and that didn't work well by the end of the season

If they could create cap space, I would work a sign and trade with CBJ.
Send Andersen over for Bob and your defense won't look as bad.

He would be a beast. Also Zaitsev had been playing through broken leg and extreme flu last year so he would be better and Hainsey would be playing less which means he would be better. And likely with Gardiner so he would just not skate much and Gardiner would do all the offensive work. Ozhiganov is a player that fans would love, hard hitting mobile skating skilled defender with great shot. Also has a great defence-to-offence transition which would be the most important thing in the leafs lineup..
