Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 16, 2021

Published: Jul. 16, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Trades:
Leafs or CLB can add some prospects (none will likely need to be the highest level) to see this through. Leafs strive to get Hyman esque player while Rielly gets to QB to some skilled offence and be with a team next year that needs him and he could cash in via their cap space.

Can see Seattle taking Kerfoot or either Dermott or Holl (dermott more than holl though). Which semi alters other moves here but not that significantly.

I think Holl (especially Holl) or dermott will be moved for additional depth and or picks if Toronto goes after better top 4 defence in FA (hoping for Hamilton like most other leaf fans). I have Holl traded here but it could be dermott. If SEA takes defencemen then Kerfoot goes for similar. Picks in these trades aren't likely to be 2nd 3rd rounders but at this point we gotta go after multiple late rounders if we cant get a 2nd rounder at least. Doesn't have to be DET but I think they are darkhorse candidate for these players for reasons mentioned in trade details.

Free Agency Acquisitions.

Bozak seems like a guy who could fill in 3rd line in a pinch and might be less than 1.6mill.

Cizikas is my dream 3rd line C to build around as he is a nasty piece of work who could be fun to watch and also he would be nice to have behind Tavares and Matthews. Leafs have Anderson and can acquire dept forwards for their next 1st round picks as per tradition :) (shoot me now).

Dreidger or similar level goalie will IMO cost maybe slightly more but there is some capspace left for that.

If contracts stay what they are here the leafs can bargain bin hunt in FA later too and pick up 900k or so for depth forward or D. (more likely forward).
