Toughening Up

Created by: Kongol
Team: 2019-20 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 7, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
VGK trade is primarily to get Carrier and his energy/hitting. A 4th line of Carrier, Timashov and Goat (if he'd check more) would be quite the energy line.

I feel as though it would take quite a trade to pry Wilson from DC. I think this trade entices them enough to make the deal. They get a solid playmaker in Nylander to add more to their already stacked Offense. Since they are not using Copely, they will save money on his contract by taking on Dansk instead. Plus a 2nd Rounder and only sending back a 4th seems fair to me.

WPG trade depends on A) If Buff is healthy again after his surgery and B) how much tension is between him and the Jets as media would lead us to believe there is. Winnipeg get a RHD in Ceci to add to their Defence (an addition for this season), plus next season his contract is off the books giving them room to sign a UFA. To add for future potential I threw in NCAA prospect Hollowell. They also get a very speedy Kappenan on a good contract who is also very good on the PK.

The Leafs add grit with Carrier, the toughness they desperately need in Wilson (who will also protect his teammates), a back up in Copley who is on a team friendly deal, and a big hitting, still has some gas in the tank RHD in Buff.

Thoughts?

The best way to score more than your opponent is to trade a 23 year old who is having a career year and is 2nd on your team in scoring for a 3rd line goon. That'll definitely mean better chances to score.

I can't stand the caps. But I'd put that 3rd line goon on the 1st line of a lot of teams.
