What's your obsession with Svechnikov? We don't need him, and we won't be able to afford him in a few years. We'd be better off keeping Gardiner, Pickard and the picks, which are really the only useful assets you're giving up. Leafs are deep enough on the wings.If they were to trade up, which is unlikely, it would be to get a D-man.

by clearing all that cap we would have around 45 million in cap to sign matthews, marner, kapanen and others such as doughty. If the cap is at 85 million then it's slightly less.

and we could pick up carlson to replace gardiner

Sign and trade for JVR? Can’t trade a UFA. I also agree with the person above, leafs don’t need Svechnikov at all

they need a sniper
