Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 17, 2020

Published: Sep. 17, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Keep the 1st. Sign petro. Trade for Manson. Keep the big 4. Jesper Fast replaces Johnson as a 3rd line winger on a better contract. Mikheyev is the replacement for Kapanen (or Robertson depending on where you play each). The only thing is there's not an amazing replacement for Kerfoot, but Khaira gives more grit (he's a really, really lesser version of Kadri). Him and Spezza and Engvall can rotate for 3C and the other 2 play on the 4th line. The depth is better than it looks on offense. Rielly and Pietrangelo become one of if not the best defensive pairing in the NHL. Muzzin and Manson are an ideal shutdown pairing against teams like Boston (match them up with the Bergeron line), or Tampa (Point/Kucherov line). Sandin and Liljegren get development and rotation with Lehtonen. As for goaltending, MAF is still good. He's slipped, but he's still able to be solid for 45 games. Campbell takes the other 35. And we get a really good prospect who (if its Caleb Jones) can play on the 3rd pairing right now instead of Liljegren or (if it's broberg) is going to be really good in a year or two.
