That's an off-season problem. Leafs have to ice the best possible team this year to try to win the Cup.
"Win the Cup"?!?!? With that defense you have here??? Between them, Holl, Liljegren and Sandin have 24 playoff games' experience. Then you have 39-year-old Mark Giordano and 35-year-old Jordie Benn, who are, to put it charitably, aging veterans. That's a back half that will be lucky to win two rounds, let alone four.
Have a look at what sports books are handicapping Toronto's Stanley Cup chances at, and be realistic. Spend the money/assets more wisely. Miller not only won't win you the Cup this season; his $8 million cap hit would preclude you from winning it anytime in the near future because you won't have enough money to add to Giordano, Liljegren, Sandin and newcomer plus sign a first-class goaltender.
By the way, Aube-Kubel just got claimed off waivers.
