I don't see too much of a bright future for the Leafs from the backend; if they don't sign a Tanev or Hamonic this offseason, and Pietrangelo is a really really long shot, they're going to have another first round exit next year. In 2021, the big name is Dougie Hamilton, but Carolina is in a great cap situation so I wouldn't be surprised to see him resigned. There's not a whole lot of RHD after that; there's Petry and Niskanen, but they're not that good defensively. If the Leafs draft Schneider, lets hope him, Liljegren, and Sandin turn into studs because even if the Leafs offer one of the big 4, teams are reluctant to trade top RHD.
