Core 4 stay - revamping the structure of the roster

Created by: MG96
Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 16, 2021
Published: Jul. 16, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If they aren't trading a core 4 piece they need to make those guys carry their lines on their own. Add skilled players (IE, Galchenyuk - not Vesey). Then take the remaining cash and after you find your 1B goalie you revamp the third line. Kerfoot to Seattle.

Bertuzzi/Granlund interchangable with other players, Robertson interchangable with other marlies (Joey Anderson as a hyman-lite), Michael Bunting/other cheap UFA - more just about the concept. Its not to say that the top six is better with these guys - they aren't, but they need more $$$ down the lineup.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that Detroit trade to happen.

If they could trade for and sign Bertuzzi, I would prefer him in the top 6. I don't think the Wings would trade him away for that package though.

Detroit wouldn't accept that package and I don't think Bertuzzi accepts that 1 year deal unless he's promised that he playing with Matthews and Marner, but then he just signs a massive deal amd leaves like Hyman is about to do

Just realized that he would be a RFA but he likely would replace Hyman on the top line if Toronto got him and then he'd ask for a contract that they couldn't afford in a year. So not the same as Hyman but a similar predictament

He’s a RFA with arbitration rights now but is a UFA next year so a 1-year deal will just take him to UFA. Regardless, this is nowhere near the value of a package that Det would consider for him

I agree, it will take either one of Torontos top 3 prospects plus a pick to get Bertuzzi

Yeah its more conceptual than anything - could be another UFA instead of Bertuzzi. Yes he fits better in the top six but the point is to create more depth down the roster. Putting him or whoever it ends up being in the top six means the third line can't score much for you. They can move people up and down as needed but conceptually I think they need to let the core 4 guys drive their own bus.
