The future and now discussion 3

Description
Due to the fact that making an armchair gm team rn is kind of pointless, I'll be posting discussion forums similar to my previous posts.

Topic: With the offseason moves made, is Toronto a serious contender to win the cup?
-Last season Toronto struggled heavily in the defensive category having only one or two solid defensive players.

Did Toronto fix their defensive struggle with the moves they made this season?

Will Marner get resigned, get signed by another team, pull a Nylander, or play overseas?

Do you think Toronto should stop trading away draft picks (especially first and second-round picks)?

If you had to give Toronto's offseason a grade, what would it be? (A, B, C, D, F)

Should I keep making posts like this? Please leave a thumbs up at the end of your comment if you enjoy these posts. Leave a thumbs down if you do not and tell me what I can do better.

Respond in the comments!!

Yes TO is a serious contender, they have arguably the deepest set of forwards in the League, their defence is above average with the additions of Barrie and a full season with Muzzin, and Marner will sign before the start of the season.

In my opinion this hysteria is just silly, we have all summer and pretty much all the high profile RFA's are still unsigned, they are all playing a waiting game and waiting for someone to blink. Its not a TO only issue, its all of them and they are all looking at each other and waiting for someone to blink. When it does, it'll happen. My guess is TO does well to start the season and possibly makes a move near the deadline to strengthen the d further.

Sure but they still dont beat boston, if they can avoid boston then they have a chance. Defense is slightly improved. I think Marner pulls a nylander and waits till december. TO gets a B+ and should trade away more picks. Also instead of making this in the arm chair gm, post in the forums section.

If Marner waits until December his contract will be pro-rated ( Just like nylanders) meaning it will have a higher cap hit, which the leafs will not be able to absorb without marner taking less money. only way Marner gets all the money he desires is if he signs before training camp.

It might be optimistic to say but I think the Leafs have a better chance against Boston if they meet again this year. Muzzin for the whole year, with the other new defence men and Nylander can't play as bad as he did last year...right?.....right?!!!

Just don't put Nylander at center and don't have Kerfoot cross check anyone in the head and it might change things.

The leafs have no physicallity outside of maybe hyman. Thats what made kadri so valueable in that series is that he had the physicallity to match and even go beyond what the bruins were doing hit wise. If he doesnt lose his head and cross check debrusk toronto wins that series. Nylander has to play with matthews or tavares to be effective, i dont think he will be effective next to kerfoot. Dont get me wrong barrie is a pretty good upgrade over gardiner/hainsey and ceci is an equivalent to zhaitsev. but the bottom pairing isnt better. torontos bottom 6 forwards arent any better. Idk i just dont see it. Especially if marner handcuffs them like i hope he does.
