Additional Details:
I see this as a Toronto trying to go all in, I also forsee them trading/signing a ton of defensive depth. This trade DOES NOT Happen if Bozak resigns however. I do believe Brassard is traded before seasons beginning though, especially if Sheahan is resigned,

So Benn is the answer to your defensive problems?

THANK YOU!!!! So many idiot fans blamed Murray because he cant stop all 5 breakaways the defense gives up per game. I cant really remember the exact numbers, but the defense gave up like 18 or 19 odd man rushes in the first 3 games against the caps....... But I 100% disagree with your assessment on Brassard. Theres close to a 0% chance he's traded. They gave up a tremendous goalie prospect for him, and they aren't going to call that trade a loss because he was hurt and the entire team played awful in the playoffs (outside of the obvious forwards)

More defensive depth is my solution, Benn, Sustr, Oleksiak and Ruwhedel competing for the bottom pairing night to night helps tremendously.

I agree on both accounts. They need defensive help and Brass is gone next year. The goalie they gave up means nothing to them. This is a team stacked with young goalie help. They still have the Cookie monster in their system. He's 19 he'll be needing a place soon too. In two years they will be trading the rights to Jarry because of it.

The problem though is Riley isn't going to be the 3C. He did out play Brass but they want more offensive talent on the 3C position. I also don't see Kuhnhacklel coming back, he will probably be traded if they can find someone to take him but that is a minor point.

But the real question I have for you is why does Arizona want Hunwick. We are dumping him for a reason, everyone knows that. There is no way he is off this team with out being tied to something.
I also highly doubt anyone gives up anything for Sheary. They will take him, expecting anything back is slim. He's can only play on the top line, he's too small to play on the 3rd or 4th lines. He is inconsistent, struggles taking passes, is too small to fight on the boards for pucks, etc. There are a whole list of reasons that you are lucky for someone to just take him. Not many for anyone to give something up.
