Ok but if you want several guys like Acciari, a good start would be to...sign Acciari.

$2m is quite reasonable for him.
100% agree.
Yet, we choose to sign Kampf for more money and more term while offering non of the intangibles from Acciari.
A huge miss
 
Has Joey Daccord signed anywhere yet? I'd bring him in to pair with Woll. Two great young goalies that haven't been given much of a chance.
 
Yup but any GM worth their weight, will figure this out pretty quickly. I don't expect him to fix the team in 5 weeks, I do expect him to fix this team by October.
At this point the only way to fix it would be to rebalance the cap distribution and only 1 of the 4 can be traded.
that’s all on Dubas

Acciari was good but he seemed to stand out so much just because the rest of the team doesn't play like him. There are lots of guys who can play a similar game for less money. If it was a 3yr 1.5M or 2x2M deal I would have done it...but he really was a unicorn and I think Tree wants to have more than one this time around...so he was nothing special to MLSE.

Noel Acciari was a gem in his role. His work ethic and commitment is a good example of what the buy in should be... but isn't. Other than that, $2 million is pretty hefty.

id be interested to find out if Treliving offered Acciari a contract similar, and he decided to leave the leafs?

I do not know, hypothetically speaking, even if Leafs signed both Domi and Bertuzzi how are they going to make the cap work.

Is Murray and/or nylander on the way out?

I think you'd have to get some medical documentation and cooperation from the player that LTIR for all of 2023-24 is the path forward.

Not taking care of Murray and Samsonov kinda makes things muddy for sure.

If we read between the lines, seems like defensively the Leafs are likely done but they really need to add scoring. Whether it's 1 big scorer or a few depth scorers, we'll see.

Sign Parise and Domi for the left side. 40 goals right there on value contracts.

Murray's comments at the time of playoffs, especially at the locker clearout day where he said he was ready to go. Would be a hard sell LTIR story for him with the league. I wish we could "Lupul" him; but that would be hard.

That defence looks terrible as is, adding Karlsson would just make it worse
Crazy to suggest that adding the current Norris trophy winner would make it worse. But you may not be wrong on our side of the blue line.
