I kinda agree with your lineup....except, getting a competent RHD to play on the 3rd pairing for 700,000 seems unlikely. You have shown that the the Leafs have to shed about 6.5m in cap, but a LTIR is hardly a probable scenario for Marleau. It's either a retired Marleau or trade some big cap is needed. OR....Maybe tell Nylander to stay in Sweden for a year, don't get fit, a go on LTIR. Now I think Nylander and the Leafs would be quite willing, but not the NHL unfortunately.
