Team: 2016-17 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 25, 2017

Published: Feb. 25, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

So I made next years lineup using the current roster for picks and all. Basically at the deadline, sell on guys like hunwick, polak, Laich, Michalek and smith. In the offseason before the expansion draft the Komarov and Martin trade. At the entry draft the JVR and Bozak Deals.

Now the line up I have shown is in my opinion excellent on left and right defensman. Two goalies that are more than capable of producing a reliable tandem. Right wing loaded with talent. Centre position loaded with talent. Our weakness would be LW. I think the bottom 3 wingers in Grundstrom, Leivo and Brown are solid. Rychel is the only but a big IF. The Matthews and Marner line needs a need front presence and someone that can do the dirty work. Rychel is that type of player. If he pans out, Great. Otherwise, draft two of Comtois, Strome or Vaselainen. All are prototypical power forwards that should compliment the line and solidify our group for 8-10 years with really only kadri needing to be replaced in say 4-5 years.

This team can definitely compete next year and within 2 years be a perennial cup threat like Chicago was.
