See you cleared a lot of cap space just to sign Giordano and Stamkos. Don't think any free agents who would want to make a Cup run would want to be on this team especially at forward.
I like Klingberg, but don't know if Dallas who just signed him long term, would be interested in the erratic Gardiner, though I think someone might. There is 12.5 million dollars, you said, "to anyone etc". Getting rid of salary cap isn't that easy. Come up with a plan.
Personally, and I have spoke to a close relative of SS, he's not that interested in playing in Toronto. He really likes Florida and his Tampa team.
