Way too much for Fabro. Rather have Holl this year, and then next year have cap and picks.
Kinda the same situation with Laughton. Is he really an improvement now over Kerfoot as Laughton is injured.

But it does present cap problem next season if Muzzin returns

I say no to all 3 deals. Doesn't put us in a better situation for this year or the future......

A late 1st that’s not even in this upcoming draft and a bunch of scraps doesn’t get Garland, especially if you want retention for 4 years

Canucks pass no reason for us to do this

So I think Muzzin retires based on his health. Laughton adds offense and is way better as a Center and on the face-off dot. These are deals closer to the deadline. I think Fabbro is a better, younger player who is an upgrade on Holl.

Ya I just wanted the retention for this year but there is no way to show that.

Fabbro is younger, has higher upside and is better than Holl.

Laughton is actually a center, good face-off stats and provides more offense then Kerfoot. He has proven he can't play center.

Garland provides a feisty winger, still in his prime and gives you some offense and is a better fit in the top 6 which allows bunting to slide down to 3rd line LW.

I think these deals improve the team for a playoff run this year as well as decent contracts which will still allow flexibility in the coming years especially as the cap goes up.

The Canucks are not making the playoffs so they may as well get some assets for a guy who has been on the trade block to free up cap space. A 1st, a Center prospect and two UFAs gets them adequate value and saves cap space.

Laughton has 3 more years after this year at $3M........we've got youth coming up (Homberg, Abruzzeze, Steeves) as well as Kampf and Jarnkrok on the roster. We don't need an overpaid guy for faceoffs when Taqvares, Matthews and Kampf are better.
I like Fabbro, but once again, he's not a huge upgrade and is not worth a first and a third
Garland, once again, I like him, but not at just under $5M for the next 3 years (after this one). To me not worth a first.

We need to keep the extra cap $$ coming up to resign Matthews, Marner and Nylander. JT will probably take a pay cut to try and win a cup in Toronto (since he'll have made over $100M by the time the contract ends).

Leafs need to be very careful with their picks and prospects to add pieces that will help with a Stanley Cup run, and I don't think any of these player will.

Valid points. Dubas likes to trade for guys under contract vs rental unless he feels he can resign them. It will be interesting to see how they balance youth and aquisitions which can help over the next 2-3 years. I like the idea of bringing up Knies this year so that takes care of one LW spot. I think he could at worst be a 3rd Line LW. If Robertson keeps getting scratched and not playing, I would consider moving him for the right trade either for a really good 3rd Line C, Top 6 Winger or Top 4 Right Shot D - all of which would need a decent cap hit. Who are the players you think would be good fits for : Top 6 winger, 3rd Line C or Top 4 Right Shot D ?
