Im not a fan of signing Holtby at all, especially not at that cap hit. You can get a better and cheaper goalie than that.
This is missing the expansion draft so its likely Graves would be gone in this scenario.
The NJD trade is fine, but im not a fan of the Leafs deal. Were giving up the best players in the deal in exchange for quantity.
I think Makar and Burakovsky will both get more money
20 players isnt enough to fill out a roster, and there isnt enough cap space to add more. At minimum youd probably need a 13th forward and 7th D man (22 man roster)
