Outside of the D, I think this team is as strong, or stronger than what they have this year. Values for ROR and Bunting could be a little low, but with money to spare, I think you're in the ballpark. I think the Samsonov contract is inflated too, I would expect around 2.5-3m per on a shorter term. They still need a better top pair D

you are probably right i could be low on some and higher on others but there is enough to add and to lower or increase signings. It would be a solid team but it would be nice to pick up a RD that can bump Brodie down, it wouldn't need to be a flashy guy, Rielly had his best season beside Ron Hainsey.

I think it's close to reasonable.
It's pretty wishful thinking to assume that Murray will just sit on LTIR all season. He's still an athlete and even if he tries to come back for part of the year you are forced to activate him. You can't just LTIR a player who isn't actually hurt.

And they can forsure start the year like this but no guarantee that next year is the year robertson magically turns around and is a top six player. Knies is the same way, may need an insurance policy to play on that second line

If Murray doesnt want all of his money they can buy him out for 600k against the cap. or close to it.

Yes I agree but that is more of a Maple Leafs decision. Just my point is that the Leafs can't just put Murray on LTIR if he is not hurt and wanting to play, if he is on LTIR for the first half of the season and then decides to come back, the Leafs have to find cap room for him
