I do not really understand either trade. For one, Scheifele is a franchise player who is not going anywhere unless it is either his own decision or a massive deal involving multiple draft picks and another amazing player. Secondly, why on Earth would they sign Brock Nelson just to trade him when he is being paid useless money and has barely any trade value? Not to mention, I don't think the Leafs should be trading any good picks in this year's draft (rounds 1, 2 and 3) at all, let alone if they are not getting at least another draft pick or young prospect. Finally, I don't really think it makes sense to trade Zaitsev without getting our money's worth. Maybe it would make more sense to try a deal involving Zaitsev for Myers??
I am also not quite sure how I feel about signing Joe Morrow when we can use Borgman, Rosen, or even Holl. I know you traded Rosen here though.
As for the lineup, I like most of it except that there should be a way to not need that many new guys up. At least bring up Aaltonen if you want to do so, even if he is a centerman. Last but not least, Marleau and Johnsson penalty kill line? I would say Hyman instead of Marleau.
