Leafs address defense and JVR

Created by: TbisTer
Team: 2017-18 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 5, 2017
Published: Jun. 5, 2017
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Cant expect the Leafs to improve heavily on the 16-17 season. They will probably squeak into the playoffs again as they are very much still improving and multiple rookies could be in the lineup next year. By getting Dumba in a pre-expansion trade saves the Wild from losing one of their D and it also addresses the Leafs need for another Top4 D, while we wait on Dermott or Nielsen to become that for when this team seriously contends in a few years while still having Dumba. As for JVR it makes sense to ship him off as re-signing him would take up much needed cap space in the future. Getting a prospect and picks back helps us win in the future and giving up JVR can help the Kings win now.

Tell me what you think!

Additional Details:
This takes care of Minnesota's expansion issue with having to protect four defenseman and the Leafs get another Top4 D, Dumba's contract also lines up with having to resign Matthews and Marner in two years. The Leafs also heavily are loaded with wingers especially on the right side , trade some and you more in the pipeline coming that fit into the middle two lines in the NHL.

Additional Details:
Trading JVR makes sense as the Leafs should not resign him for cap reasons and getting reasonable picks back and another defensive prospect seems to be a good idea.

Not having JVR in 2017/18 really hurts LW. As the Leafs proved last TDL by acquiring Boyle, it's not all about the future. Minni trade could be a deal.

Big step backwards. Dumba isn't the upgrade you think he is and you didn't bother filling the hole made by trading JVR.

They're out of the playoffs if it goes down like this.
