The 2nd line would have to count on a rookie to backcheck for the line. Tavares and Nylander were broken up last year because of their lack of defense(Tavares to slow, Willie lack of effort). So if the leafs do keep JT and Willie together they will need a real good defensive minded player on the line.
Kerfoot chose not to come to NJ when we drafted him. So please stop sending him to us. Why do we need Holl unless you're sending us a something of value to make the money work for you in a Severson package?
Severson is over rated (especially to devil fans) + he is a ufa in one year and we can’t (& shouldn’t afford him). His stats don’t impress and i’ll admit i don’t watch him often - but when the leafs play them (note we’ve owned nj past few years), he looks overmatched to me.
