What would you do

Created by: jchafe77
Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 6, 2021
Published: Jun. 6, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Thought this would be a cool idea to try in these forum's. I want to see people's opinions on how the Leaf's should fill out their roster for the upcoming 2021-22 season.

Lets assume that Alex Kerfoot is selected in the Expansion Draft by Seattle. You then have:

- roughly over 17M to work with NOW,
- 22M if you decide players like Engvall, Mikheyev and Holl are no longer apart of your future,
- 27M if Rielly is also not in the picture for next year.

How do you chose to ice your team for the upcoming year, with:

- The Core 4 (Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander)
- Defense Core (Rielly... if possible, Muzzin, Brodie)
- Goaltending (Campbells first real NHL starting job possibly)


The objective is basically to fill the "VACANT" positions listed below with who YOU think would make up the Leaf's roster for next year. Leave in the comments below your idea. NOTE* Taxi Squad consists of the Leaf's 4 best prospects that have chances of cracking the lineup.


*SAMPLE*

Forwards:
VACANT - Matthews - Marner
VACANT - Tavares - Nylander
VACANT - VACANT - VACANT
VACANT - VACANT - VACANT

Defense:
Rielly (possibly) - Brodie
Muzzin - VACANT
VACANT - VACANT

Goaltenders:

    1. Trade Marner to Ducks for Henrique (retained), Terry, Rakell
    2. Trade Rielly to Kings for Anderson and Kempe
    3. Move Sandin to Reilly’s spot (LD1, PP1)
    4. Sign Hyman.
    5. Call up Robertson. Amirov
    6. Sign a few veterans near minimum.

    Robertson - Matthews - Nylander
    Hyman - Taveras - Rakell
    Amirov - Terry - Spezza
    Kempe - Henrique - [UFA]

    Sandin - Brodie
    Muzzin - Holl
    Anderson - Liljegren

    To begin with, I think you have to set yourselves a realistic limit on new signings.

    Even with a hometown discount, I think that Zach Hyman is going to cost too much to re-up. I wouldn't pay more than $4.25 million AAV for him or Blake Coleman, who seems a good target to me.

    I think that you should look at quality guys, not just cheap guys, to fill out the bottom 6. Casey Cizikas, Brock McGinn and Freddie Gaudreau are the kind of guys I think that you should pursue. Re-upping Jason Spezza is a must, if he wants to keep playing.

    I'd look at Linus Ullmark for 5 years unless the coaches feel that Jack Campbell is actually your number one guy.

    "if you decide players like Engvall, Mikheyev and Holl are no longer apart of your future". I wonder why Leaf fans think these players caused the failure of the Leafs. Less than 5m for these three regulars.
    Don't know how you get much better value than these players collectively.
