Centre depth - no room to sign anyone else so Dubas is relying on what he’s got which is skilled but thin
Top 2 lines
Mathews
Tavares
Kerfoot
Nylander if Matthews or Tavares go down but at that point the Leafs are screwed anyway
Bottom six
Kerfoot
Kampf
Brooks
Engvall
Spezza if kerfoot is injured
They have 3.5M to sign someone else. As much as 5M if they move on from Mikheyev
Problem is there won’t be a lot of action on Mikheyev. As much as he isn’t negative value normally, flat cap season has made him very difficult to move without taking something back or sweetening the pot a little. Not many teams out there looking to add a bottom 6 with very little offensive upside.
