This all looks very reasonable to me. I would much rather use that Sundqvist money on bringing back Acciari if we can. I would also love to bring back Bunting if possible.

Either way their team looks good for next year. I am excited to see Robertson get a proper shot. I assume they will start the year with him having a top 9 role. It will probably be his last shot with the Leafs.

I don’t see the Hawks doing this. I think they want to bring up Arvid Soderblom full time to back up Mrazek.

Unless they buy out Mrazek, then I’d say they might do it but I haven’t heard of any buyout reports.

I think it also depends on Boston. That pick could be #24 if they lose tonight or it’s #32 if they win SC. If they lose tonight then the trade up is going to be 20 spots. That might be enough to entice the trade and then maybe even flip Murray again?

thank you for the insight. I forgot about Soderblom and his potential to start the year with the hawks.

Murray had a decent year with the leafs, definitely much better than mrazek, but not better than samsonov and not a good bang for buck. I suppose buying out the last year of mrazek would be (hypothetically) a smart move since y'all won't spend to the cap anyway, that way putting forth a low floor/high ceiling tandem that (would hopefully) play with the success (or lack thereof) the team.

I traded the pick assuming it would be a second round exit adjacent draft pick, so i think the 15~ spot upgrade territory is about as valuable as it would take, maybe more.

you may be the most polite user I've ever seen in a CF ACGM comment section btw. hats off.

I really like acciari, wouldn't mind him returning. Personally, I'm partial to ZAR and Kampf as i really love them in this team, and since Lafferty is signed for another year those 3 (in my mind) round out the fourth line/depth spots. If we were to bring in another jarnkrok type (which i would love to see, I think sundqvist would really work out here) it takes another spot in the top 9. and then as you mentioned robertson (hopefully he can stay healthy) and with holmberg and abruzzese overripened for a roster spot I hate the idea of them not being on next years 23 man roster.

Haha thanks!! I mean… Kyle Davidson hangs up the phone laughing and loses your number!!! Lol jk 🤣
