Instead of saying the Leafs are are screwed if a offer sheet comes. Try this. Make a projected lineup for 2019/20 without any trades, you'll see the Leafs are under the cap. Leafs really don't a LHD at the expense of a RHD. Doubtful Hainsey returns.
I admit if an absurd offer sheets comes for Marner or Matthews the Leafs lose those players. But how are they screwed? They just take that money they had allotted for those guys, spend it elsewhere and have the draft picks. Unpleasant, short term lose, but hardly a screwing.
