Thread: Keep core + upgrade RHD in 19-20
Damn, called all the deadweight out back in 2018 offseason.

What's crazy is a couple opposing fans thought this was too much of a dream-case scenario, and yet somehow Dubas did an infinitely better job at upgrading the blue-line (Muzzin+Barrie+Ceci at 11.25 > Ellis+Stralman at 10.5, not to mention adding the phenom Sandin). The only sacrifice is Kadri, although he did bring in an adequate replacement in Kerfoot.

It’s a shame how most of the energy will be about the Marner overpay, as Dubas has put on a masterclass performance the last year in getting the big four stars locked up, signing 3 complimentary pieces to good deals (Johnsson, Kapanen, Kerfoot) while building what appears to me as a great blue-line.

Let's be honest this team will be in cap hell for years unless they trade at least one if not two of their young stars. And please stop trading Martin nobody wants his contract for a player to sit in the press box.</div></div>

Would like to hear your thoughts about this.

Subscribing to the theory that there's a wink-wink deal in place where he'd retire in the third year. If so, the Leafs would pay him his huge bonus next offseason, then trade him to a team looking to reach the cap floor. Wishful thinking for now of course, but IF true then it's a fun little way to armchair-gm a way to get some RHD. :D

Martin can easily be dealt this offseason. See Reaves.
