Like the signings, but geez, teams need a 7th NHL Dmen. Reaves can't be a top 12 regular Surely there are cheaper and better UFA goalies are available that provide much more value than Vladar.
Having Brodie and Tanev signed too about 2m combined cheaper might be answer.

Hello palhal,

Thank you for the feedback! I left the $980,333 cap space for a 7th D, and I would have the Leafs run 11 and 7 when Reaves doesn't play. Also, as injuries occur, cap space would become open for Leafs to bring up more guys from the Marlies.

I don't think Brodie or Tanev go any lower than $4,000,000. I do agree with you about Vladar, but I couldn't decide who I would run instead. What I like about Vladar is that he only has the one year on his deal remaining, who would you choose instead at a cheaper contract?

My thinking is like similar to what we did with Martin Jones, we get a third string goaltender with NHL history and give him that waiver day bonus that Treliving gave Jones, send him to the minors to play in tandem with Hildeby, and if Vladar falters we would have this other goalie as well. But again, I couldn't think of any names but would appreciate you helping me out with what you would have in mind.
