Suggested three separate trades in the forum in total, which leaves the lineup looking like this:
Marner -- Matthews -- Bunting
Konecny -- Tavares -- Robertson
Crouse -- Kerfoot -- Kase
Engvall -- Kampf -- Mikheyev
Extras: Spezza/Simmonds (send Clifford down). The two of them can hang around to provide moral support (which seems like what they do best anyway) but neither do much of anything in the lineup and the forwards as above are much better than with either of them in the lineup.
(Note: YES, forget Spezza and Simmonds. Stuck in the mud old farts. Time for a Cup, not warm and fuzzy feels.)
Rielly -- Brodie
Sanheim -- Braun
Sandin -- Chara
Extra: Muzzin. If he's healthy, he'll likely slot in and for me, it would be for Sandin.
Fleury
Campbell
Isn't this a better lineup? More balance. Stronger defensively. Tougher. Roll four lines. Kampf's is strictly a checking line. Can interchange Robertson/Crouse/Kase between 2nd and 3rd lines.
For all of this, the Leafs would have given up:
Nylander
Mrazek
Dermott
Liljegren
Holl
Abruzzese
2022 1st Round Pick
2023 3rd Round Pick
2023 5th Round Pick
So, let's have it! What's everyone think?
