Sharks fans are interested in johnsson and have offered better than what detroit would pay for
engvall is gonna stay as he is hes gonna get taken by seattle

There are a few teams who can trade/swap for Johnsson. Sharks are strong on the list for sure!

I traded Engvall to resign Clifford. That's basically how that worked. Rather have Clifford.

I think Leafs would want to find a way to keep Engvall as well.

I would like to keep him as well! Heck I would love to keep Johnsson. Really like him. But it is hard to do.

Johnsson is gone almost certainly. Engvall is a small chance. He will more than likely be around next year.

We will see.

I like this roster though and there is very little wiggle room in the cap!

Personally I would rather not pay a 2nd for a 4th liner. Not that I dislike Clifford but it’s a steep price for someone who will play 5-8 min a night.

I like the general idea though. This is certainly plausible.

Well, we would be getting our 3rd back. So basically it's 31 spots in the draft. Not a straight up 2nd. But that's fair! Steep price, but Clifford is definitely filling a role that we didn't have filled!

Please do that NOW!!!!! I've been seeing Johnsson to Detroit for multiple pick twice a day

I agree with what you are saying. However, I also think Clifford is bringing his character and leadership intangibles to the Leafs which is not easy to measure. He has been a tremendous influence on helping Kapanen become a better pro and play hard every shift and I am wondering how many other players are benefiting from his work ethic and commitment to winning. I have a total respect for the player and can see why Dubas added him to the team.
