Description
P.S. jk about the JT signing....

Not all of these D-men will be around, but at least one of Rosen, Borgman, Ozhiganov, etc. I think it's fair to assume that one of Rosen, Borgman, Ozhiganov, Zaitsev, Dermott, or Liljegren will be able to take a big step forward by this time.

I also really don't have a ton against Martin, he just is paid way to much to be used on occasion. Would rather give up a 3rd rounder and have that cap space (could thrown in J. Leivo if needed). Doesn't have to be to AZ, could be anyone interested in that sort of deal.

It is so "Maple Leafs" to slot Tavares as the second line center tears of joy If the leafs land him, that is certain to help them, but if they don't address the issues at defense, I don't see how the team improves that much. Also, where is Gardiner? Vanished to Lupul Winter Wonderland?

First off, if you have watched the Leafs the past year you would realize what line you are slotted on means very little to how much time you play. Not much difference between 1st and 2nd, or even third lines ice time.
As per Gardiner, he walks as a UFA. I understand the D still isn't great but I think they could be average, and with top 5 offence and potentially top 5 goaltending I can deal with that. And all the D are young and will only get better. Hopefully one or two turn into something decent.

You're likely about 3-4 million short on what it's going to cost to sign Marner, Nylander and Matthews.

Tavares is going to get around 11 million
Matthews likely will get a little more, he's the star of the team and will be their best player regardless of Tavares signing. He's younger, a better skater and has a better shot.
Marner will get over 80 points this year, scored at close to a 100 point pace when moved to Kadri's line. That'll get him over 8 million a season
Nylander at the very least will get Elhers money which is 7 years at 6 million. He's scored at a better ppg average than Elhers since he made the jump to the NHL. I suggest 8 years at 7 million to get him locked up for max term.

So with those signings, you're over the salary cap.

To make the forward depth survive next season, the Leafs may try to offer Johnsson a lower 2 year contract this summer. Try to get him signed for next year at just over a million, (they have leverage since he hasn't played a full season in the NHL) if they go higher than 2 year, Johnsson will want more money. Same goes for Kapanen, although he'll have far more negotiating power next summer than Johnsson has this summer. But if you can shave off 2 million from what you have earmarked for them, the Leafs could make next season work. Then Marleau is off the books.

C'mon Johnny don't be so unfairly critical. It's a 2019/20 roster. Even you should know the Leafs probably aren't going to sign UFA Gardiner, but if you think he should be LTIRed when he's not a Leaf. As indicated the Leaf are counting on LIljegren, Borgman, Rosen and Ozhignov or at least some of then to be NHL good in 2019/20. Now I don't think the Leaf will sign Tavares and even if they do, it might mean Nylander is traded is for upgrade elsewhere. But certainly it's reasonable roster.
There is no such thing as second line centres in LeafLand (or maybe anywhere). Leafs have gone with balanced scoring lineup for two years now, so if the misinformed want to make an issue of a meaningless numbering system, so be it.

To be fair, I think there are some leafs fans (not me) that want to see Gardiner on LTIR effective immediately and permanently so they never have to see him play defence again for any team. Aha.

If only a coach would know when to play Gardiner. For 60 games he's good to very good. It's those other 22 games (and game 7) that he's bonehead bad. He's Leaf this year but for cap reasons, not past this year
My explanation is a follows. If you remember in the original Star Trek, Kirk went through the transporter and got divided into two people, the Good Kirk and the Bad Kirk. Well that's Gardiner. Fortunately the Enterprise crew figured out how to fix transporter and meld the two Kirks back into the original one Kirk. The Leafs haven't got the 24th technology to meld the Good Jake and the Bad Jake into one always competent Dman.

Wow that is thorough. I'm not familiar with Star Trek but understand what you're saying. I agree, I think Gardiner is a very solid 2nd pairing dman and could be more effective if he played with some solid veteran defence man that are responsible, then you just have to accept the odd moments.

My mistake, I actually didn't realize that this was a lineup for the 19-20 season, which explains my confusion able Gardiner. But I definitely still think the Leafs number 1 priority should be finding a strong top 2 or top 4 RHD (Trouba, Tanev, etc.) just to shore up the D core. And yes, they certainly have enough offense from the back-end with Reilly, so the future inevitable loss of Gardiner won't leave the Leafs missing his occasionally beneficial, but often detrimental play. You're correct in saying that Gardiner is good for about 2/3 of the season, but nowadays, consistency and low risk play are often times valued over potential offensive upside when evaluating a defenseman, unless the player is so good offensively that they can afford to make mistakes (Like an Erik Karlsson.)
