Based on the current roster:

Bertuzzi Matthews Marner
Domi Tavares Nylander
Knies Kampf Jarnkrok
Lafferty Holmberg Reaves

Rielly Brodie
McCabe Klingberg
Gio Liljegren

Samsonov
Woll

- Need more depth at center. A proper #2 center is a must
- Defence is still extremely weak defensively. McCabe & Klingberg should be on the bottom pair with a solid #3 & #4 brought in.
 
An own rental swap idea:

Carolina gets: William Nylander + TJ Brodie (combined $11.9M)

Toronto gets: Teuvo Teravainen + Brett Pesce (combined $9.4M)

This deal plus the Murray buyout gives the leafs enough to pay Samsonov and also enough to run a 23 man roster and possibly even accrue cap space.

Upside: Overall defensive impact of Pesce + TT is greater than what they'd lose.

Downside: Lose a 40 goal scorer and the best player in the trade.
I'd think Nylander/Pesce would be extended before any deal. But I would do this. Would also swap Teuvo for Jarvis if Carolina preferred

Domi should be the 3c
 
Love all the moves in totality so far except the Klinger (1 × 4.15) signing. Would have loved to keep Schenn (3 × 2.75) and Acciari (3 × 2) instead, but Living Tree doesn't seem to want to give up term outside of Reaves and Kampf.

We can’t accrue cap space with Muzzin on LTIR. We would have to trade him as well for that to happen
 
Personally, I would have liked the team to have become more physical, and really Domi and Klingberg aren't that. Bertuzzi isn't bad, so that's a positive.

I’d say we are still a work in progress most likely, but it’s worth note that Treliving specifically mentioned in his first media availability that his team won’t be doing fly bys. I think we have lots of player capable of playing physical that will now be expected to do so consistently coming from the top down

I dont think he doesnt want to. I think there are 3 very large variables that make things tricky. Until the dudes are signed or traded he doesnt know how much money he needs to allocate for them.

They're tight up against it and probably want to sign Jeannot.

Say what you want about Perry and Maroon been old and slow but they were really tough to play against.
Yes but we can pick one of those at TD. We lost Shchen and Muzzin. There is something missing on that backend.
 
Sign Kane
I agree. I think he would be good fit assuming he is healthy. Would make trading nylander less problematic as well if needed.

Not sure how much money or term he wants. He would need to be reasonable with the money which he may not be.

If we traded nylander for pesce and sign kane i think we are probably in good position for next year.

I don't think the lineup will look anything like that.

Tavares is also a good 2C (one of the best), he just needs players who play at his speed, not Nylander.
 
Trade nylander for the best package you can get and sign Dumba.

Fits in with the other signings, all offense, no D.

Tavares has lost a step clearly and not a $11M player today, but any insinuation he isn’t still a well above average quality 2C is a joke. He needs the right linemates to maximize what he can contribute now, but he’s not hurting us anywhere beyond the cap
