I have gamed out numerous fantasy Leaf teams over the years with Lawson Crouse. I love this guy and he's exactly what the team could use, so any armchair roster with him on it means your on the right track.
I don't like the Tavares trade to Seattle. As much as McCann got away from us (still have face palm bruises after that abysmal mess)... he doesn't improves 2nd centre from Tavares. Tavares is NOT the issue on our roster, it's his linemates. I just don't think he clicks consistently with Nylander and he has no Left Wing to compliment him. I'd lose the Nichuskin and Mikheyev signings, keep Nylander... try to acquire McCann and a winger (Garland?) to play alongside Tavares, move Nylander up to the 1st line left wing (Nylander Mathews Marner = devastation).
Paying Campbell over 4 mil/season is a fireable offense for any GM, he's not a proven 1st netminder, he's a tandem goaltender at most a 3.5 mil. Knies and Robertson are not NHL ready... and I don't see in Robertson what people keep touting, too small, too long to develop and no room on the roster for him to be effective, he's better as a trade piece.
