Description

I hope my trade valuations are closer than my last one. Here are my thoughts on why I did these trades and signings

Dermott is young and has decent potential. Glendening is a really solid 4th line guy. Good for PK. Dermott being younger with more potential and team control, I figured a 4th rd pick would help even the trade for both sides.

Engvall for a 4th, well Engvall will basically be the replacement for Leipsic

Johnsson and Kerfoot is $7m of the cap, Leafs get 2 physical forwards that can play on the PK and add some real grit. They lack offence they bring compared to Kerfoot, and Johnsson. I feel a 2nd should even that trade. I could be way off in value of Nashville’s players.

Andersen is a really solid goalie. Subban is a backup. Toronto moves up into the round and gain cap space. Hopefully Campbell can be the guy.

Clifford re-signs so Kings get the 2nd (pretty sure everyone knows that), Toronto gets their 3rd back

Gudas is a solid defenceman that allows Reilly to do his run and gun offence styled game

Bogosian, if healthy is actually pretty good. I don’t think any team offers big money, so he may go to a team with a weaker right side D. Up his value drastically if all goes well.

Offence takes a hit, but they add serious physicality and guys that will help their PK.
Defence gets better at actual defence,
Goaltending gets worse, but I believe Campbell can be the guy. Next years Markstrom perhaps?
Overall, they won’t get pushed around. They still have a really good Top 6 and probably play a more complete game. Unfortunately this would all bank on Campbell becoming the stud he was supposed to be
