Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 5, 2022

Published: Jul. 6, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Priority 1: Goaltending
- Based on last years offseason, you know Dubas and co will use their current cap space on goaltending first. I'm a fan of a "reclamation" project like Blackwood that has upside. I also like the tandem idea because its more cost effective and protects against injury. Blackwood alternatives could be Nedeljkovic or Samsonov. MAF alternative could be Husso

Priority 2: Filling in the forwards. I imagine a similar approach as last year with a 2-3 Million dollar winger and a bunch of bottom six options. Unfortunately if Kerfoot stays, Leafs can't afford anything other than bottom six options. I like kerfoot, but I think moving on from him after a career year is a good chance to sell high, add cap space, and recoup some middle tier draft picks. These depth guys are so hard to predict, but i've added some I like. Other options could be Domi, M Johansson, Larsson, Kase returning etc.

The D is pretty set barring a trade. If Holl leaves, Leafs just need a cheap depth option; preferably with some "jam"

My Mrazek trade is probably the BEST case scenario lol. I'd be happy adding anything other than a 1st or one of our top 4 prospects (Robertson, Knies, Niemela, Amirov) If there's no takers, maybe we run him back and hope for a bounce bad. Not ideal at all, but I hate the idea of giving up so much for a cap dump

Also who is everyone hoping the leafs draft? I like what I hear with Ostlund and Ohlgren, but I think a big D is needed, as Brodie, Muzzin, and Gio will be gone before we know it.
Due to this I'm hoping for Pickering, Bischel, Warren, or Luneau.
