Puljujarvi never in a million years will play first line on the leafs. Philly really should have no incentive to take that trade since they are pushing for the cup. And also, through this, the leafs would have no 1st round pick for 4 years, which will completely ruin the franchise in the future.

We don't need ristolainen

And we don't need another left D
lol

your 3 mil over a 83 mil salary cap

Toronto gets scammed every trade. Especially the Ghost/Risto trades.

Dubas would be fired if he did this as Shanahan would figure it out pretty quickly that the leafs got robbed.

yo bud, this is a fictional reality where you can play with reality itself.

leafs need the position of D-man to move towards a position of strength rather than weakness. Looking for teams that would give up on players with big upside. That includes Risto who is an anti-analytic darling. Yet, has big upside if he's coached properly. Have you watched him play?


Regarding, Gostisbehere the leafs management seems to value high risk high reward d-man. Also, he can play the right side as a leftie. So, there's an element of hockey sense and upside that I've taken into account.

As per to be over the cap. There are players to demote around 1.8 million and it is again a fictional reality.

What's your fix, what would you do?

Or are you just good at pointing out clearly obvious snap judgments without any nuanced thought?

overpayment leading to winning within the given window is why GM's are praised for having big balls. What's your big balled move?

cup er best bud

The thing leafs window has at least 3-4 yrs left. Of course Tavares will fall off and Rielly may or may not walk in 2 yrs but there are tons of good prospects like Sandin/Lilypad/Robertson/SDA to fill some of those holes.

Hyman left wing right shot

Also, most powerplays are driven with wingers on their off wing. This opens upshot release ability. It is very much a reach, but looking for upside is how you win. This team is bigger and has a higher skill upside. You are also sacrificing first-round picks but acquiring casey mittelstadt and jesse puljujarvi which were high picks. Robertson looking to be a draft win and keeping Liljegren, Sandin is also why giving up first-round picks was reasonable.
