Description

Leafs decide defensive stability is more important to them than extra offense for next 2-3 years, and grab steady top 4 offensive right shot D-man in Petry (at $4.75M per year). Kapanen better fits Habs window to compete for a Cup in 2020 onward.

Gardiner as a UFA is a good fit for the Habs left D, if he's not too expensive next summer

Habs picks up an extra first round pick at the trade deadline from Penguins for Danault. Assume Montreal narrowly misses the playoffs and picks at #12 (MTL pick) and #18 (Pitts pick) in the draft. Take Broberg (LHD) and Newhook (C/LW) to top up the prospect pool

Leafs pass... Petry is a good player and would be a solid fit,but his salary cap hit is unbearable for the Leafs. He's also not worth Kapanen.

Certainly not saying Kapanen doesn't fit with the Leafs right now as a player. The question is how much cap space will be dedicated to forwards after next summer with Matthews/Marner eating up another $20+ million, and Kapanen also needing a new contract. My thinking is that Petry at $4.75M for a couple more years helps solidify the right side D for Toronto at reasonable cost while Liljegren and Sandin grow into it over the next couple years.

Obviously my goal is to build a winner in Montreal, but I have to admit I'd love to see the Leafs grab a Cup or two in the next 3-4 years before the Habs are ready to compete at the top level again.
