Sign Pacioretty as a UFA tell him he plays with Matthews & Marner. Patch has 6 seasons of 30 + goals with a respectable 50 pts ( 25G & 25 A ) in 78 playoff games. Pacioretty is 83rd all-time in GWG with 65 goals he is a clutch player, & if healthy playing with elite players easily scores 20. The type of player the Leafs need in the playoffs same is true of a JVR.

Minten, Rielly, Robertson, Kampf, Jarncrock & a 1st Rd pick in 2026 to Pittsburgh for Crosby. Pittsburgh can immediately flip Kampf & Jarncrock for prospects or picks in a trade.

Steeves & a third Rd pick to a third party team to retain half of Crosby salary. Cap hit to the Leafs 4.35 million.

After trades & retention the Leafs would save approx. 8.5 million, needed cap space to facilitate a trade. Using a pkg. of prospects, picks or a roster player for an elite D man, with Liljegren involved in a trade that would be 11.5 million in cap space, that would facilitate enough cap space for any D man in the league.


Pacioretty Matthews Marner
A. Nylander Crosby W. Nylander
Knies Tavares Cowan
McMann Domi Holmberg

OEL Tanev
McCabe Liljegren
Benoit Timmins
Webber

Woll Stolarz


* Bertuzzi, Kampf, Jarncrock vs Pacioretty, Crosby, A. Nylander & Cowan

Possible trade deadline deal : Liljegren, Niemela, Voit & a 1st Rd pick in 2027 to Pittsburgh for Karlsson. Pittsburgh eats 25 % of Karlsson contract. Current Cap hit to Pittsburgh is 10 million with 25 % retained that equals 7.5 million cap hit to the Leafs. The team would still have 4 million in cap space, enough to sign a decent D man or a goalie if needed.
