I Do This A Lot

Created by: LeafsFan
Team: 2016-17 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 27, 2016
Published: Jan. 27, 2016
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Signed Versteeg to give the Leafs another top 6 winger to play alongside growing forwards Nylander and Marner.
Not many acquisitions or signings as some youth will fill most holes in lineup.
Marner is still questionable to play, but its either another year of Junior where it will be too easy or the NHL.
A rotation of young defenseman will fill the bottom six and compete for a roster spot. Personally from what I've seen I like Percy and Harrington, but will have to see how it all sorts out.
You can decide between signing Lindback or Garrett Sparks, or both.
Side note: I'm really starting to see the benefit of keeping Tyler Bozak around. Think he can fit into the lineup nicely and contract is good for points production.

That is a lot of money for Kris Versteeg.

Don't like the bottom 4 defence...maybe 1 or 2 but not all of them. Think we have to let Sparks "run with it as Leaf" to see if he the goalie of the future. Let's move on from Versteeg and Spaling.

Leafs laugh at Versteeg and pay him 4.67 million to quit hockey.

You could lower the amount for Versteeg, but the leafs need a short-term option skilled winger to play alongside Nylander and Marner. Other options I noticed were Boedker (probably a little expensive and longer term) and Nathan Gerbe (another small player that won't be quite as good). And as for the 4 defenseman playing the bottom six, I placed them there to fight for the bottom pairing... we don't need another veteran to come in when we could give some experience to these younger defenseman for a cheaper salary. When Percy was up with the leafs for the 8 games or whatever last year, he seemed very effective and steady. Its no promise of good return but at some point you need to give them a chance.

Generally, if players been the minors for three years (goalies excluded), they are not going to NHL players of any much consequence. This is one reason Percy and Harrington are probably not in the NHL.
Don't know about your line combinations. The LWs are Lupul, JVR, Winnick, Komarovl, Leivo. Lupul or Leino could be RW,

Jamie McGinn is a UFA next year, he is putting up 'decent' numbers in buffalo and could be a cheaper LW for the next year or two. Also Nikita Zaitsev has a pretty good chance of starting on the bottom D pairing next season as a right handed shot.
