We all know thr Leafs are looking for a 3rd line center, but with Jani Hakanpaa not available and not likely to ever be available you have to assume they are also looking for a D man.

We also know that Treliving prefers players with term or players he thinks he can keep.

Personally I think there will be a deal with Seattle and I think 2 of Olesiak, Tanev and Groude end up in Toronto.

Yes I'm aware Groude is hurt but from what I've read it's only 5-7 weeks which brings us to mid-late March.

I want to focus on Olesiak because I think he's the most likely because he's the one with term on his deal and again we know Brad wants players with term.

According to Puck pedia the Leafs have 3.4 million in cap space.

Cap wages has them at about 3.8 million so fitting in Olesiak wouldn't be that difficult to do, you would need to send back a little bit of money but not a ton.

If Seattle retains the Leafs wouldn't have to send back any money.

I think these 2 teams make a deal.
 
as a wings fan oleksiak would be my target. Doubt yzerman would want to subtract a dman but I'd be looking to next season as well and offer

2025 2nd rounder + tuomisto + gustafsson

This guy? The Leafs need another Left Handed D?

This is what Seattle fans think of him....


Man, it’s frustrating as hell to watch a big body that doesn’t use it. Oleksiak should elicit fear from anyone in front of the Seattle net, but he very rarely does. And he’s not good enough to neglect a physical role.

#SEAKRAKEN would seem to imply the casual folks are still trucking along. Seriously get Oleksiak off this team...

The problem is that we have way too many passengers. Oleksiak just one of them.

Oleksiak letting him stand in front of Grubauer, no physical presence whatsoever. Not tying up his body or stick. Both just waving at the puck and hope you hit it instead of the CBJ player. Piss poor defense.

Oleksiak and Larsson can't even coordinate a simple breakout, turn the puck over, leading to Oleksiak taking a dumb penalty... This team is just really hard to watch sometimes.

Larsson and Oleksiak just standing there staring at Daccord while 4 Hawks try to hammer the puck out from under him. I swear this team…

Oleksiak just standing there next to Grieg, I swear he's the softest 6'7" hockey player I think I've ever seen.

I think that aside from Oleksiak that the blue line is fine

There's criticism of oleksiak in the Minnesota thread. Definitely a few people worried he is cooked

Oleksiak is a horror show this year.

Oleksiak gotta do better with the puck on his stick
