Based on Dubas interview yes Toronto is open for business but there are 3 things to note
1. Would prefer a rental (Seattle be lurking)
2. Would be willing to give a top prospect (dont see it happening unless its for a big rental --> Hall)
3. Is focused on getting a forward and not a Defenseman nor a Goalie. Things could change on the Dman side but no guarantees.
based on that 3 names came to mind
1. Brassard (cheap 3c option and with retention only will cost 500k)
2. Granlund (wanted to join the team but we did not have the space. with 50% retention leafs can carry his 1.875mill cap hit)
3. Iafallo (may be expensive to get but with retention and his skillset could be a worth while investment)
All should not be overly expensive to get and with retention their cap hits are manageable for us.
Bobby Ryan was also a name but because of the injury dont see it.
But hey leave your thoughts as to who you think Dubas will get
