Thread: Makers Leafs V2

Overall this was really to see what it would take to get Pietrangelo, and I agree. It's not likely. He's reportedly looking for more like $8mill and up. Johnsson moving out was a salary dump, and the Kerfoot for Heinen was to get rid of some salary while adding a versatile guy with more size. I am not really a Nic Petan fan, but it was a fourth line set that needed filling and he's cheap.

I agree, the real play is likely for a $5mil defenceman, keeping Kerfoot and maybe Johnsson as the third-line with Robertson, then the fourth is Engvall - Goat - Spezza.

Probably someone more like Tanev on defence. Will be an interesting free-agent time this year tho!
