Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 11, 2020

Published: Aug. 11, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

- Weegar/Kapanen trade: FLA needs scoring, especially as Hoffman is likely to leave. They are also have Ekblad and Stralman ahead of him on the RD which caused Weegar to play LD. TOR needs a defensively strong puck-moving dman, Weegar fits the bill nicely. Manson and Pesce are popular choices among Leafs fans but their teams will probably want more than Kapanen.
- Severson trade: Really good puck moving defenseman, who is sometimes questionable in his own end. Playing alongside Muzzin will definitely help him in that regard. NJD is in need of a shake up including offensively, they need offensive talent (playing zajac, joey Anderson, and zacha in their top 9). This trade allows them to acquire a 2-way, 20 goal scoring winger in Johnsson and a player with offensive upside who has not been given the chance in Toronto in Bracco. They also get Justin Holl, allowing them to get a dman back (they aren't deep there at all). More could certainly be added to this deal to entice NJD

- Toronto should play 7D on some nights as Lehtonen is quite good an can play both sides. On other nights where everyone is healthy and 6D are being dressed: Dermott, Sandin, and Lehtonen battle it out for the spot. Defensive depth is necessary
- If Korshkov goes to Russia, Toronto can play someone like Gauthier or somebody else from FA on a min contract.
