Feels like we need help on the left in the bottom 6. I dont mind Pulj, but we should be set on the right

He on the wing with ROR would be good.

Gotta say I am hungry for more. Thing is, I don't love the names on defence. ROR and Acciari were two of the top names I wanted. Now that they are here, I'm not sure who I'd want (knowing Meier and Chychrun are unrealistic).

It would be fun to see Dubas make another splash though. First time I've see Kerfoots name really thrown out there like that since the off-season.
I like the player but there's definitely a lot of frustration there.

Come on Dubbie! Complete the other half....this lineup would be a nightmare ti play against.

Hits are nice, but they are never really big impact hits. Might be wrong, but I rarely see any impact from him on the ice.

I agree. 4th line filler, but he is solid defensively and plays a somewhat heavy though non aggressive game.

Jfresh has posted something along the lines of O'Reilly's point totals being affected by linemates who have been unable to bury their scoring opportunities. I know he's a bit of a whipping boy around here, unjustifiably so to some extent, but that sounds a lot like Alex Kerfoot.
The retention on the O'Reilly deal does seem to suggest management may take a swing at another play.

Yeah I was about to mention this. I really don't think we need to make a move on the backend and it seemed like we dont have that many pieces to make another move. But in re analyzing, why did we need to make minny take on the extra 25% and send them a 4th? We would not give away a 4th for no reason. With our current salary structure we dont really need that extra 25% off RORs contract. Yes it gives us more space to have more guys on the roster but we could easily run a 22 man roster even without Minnesota's retention. Maybe its that they expect Muzzin could come back or maybe its because we want to make another move.
ROR and Acciari is a nice start but the team still needs more. Another bonafide scoring threat up front would be ideal, who that player is or what the cost would be I don't know.

The team really doesn't need more. We're entering luxury here if Dubas can add another good/great player upfront.

I feel like they'll try to take a swing at the defense for the next move. Seems fairly set upfront. Who and what? I don't know. McCabe maybe? Doubtful.

McCabe is an upgrade, but im not convinced Schenn is a significant jump on Benn

Retention isn't free
It pisses me off that Benn isn't given more looks, but Holl still exists.

Without a lot of draft assets left to make any splash for a 2nd line winger or top 4 D man, do we concentrate on a depth add for defense now? Still lack that heavy PK d man. If Muzzin ever returned to form we’d be laughing, but not looking like that’s happening.
Might have to wait for a last minute sell off on deadline day deal, where some team is going be stuck because they asked too much for a Schenn or Myers. Nick Jensen would be my target if the Caps fall out of playoff contention. I don’t know what their plans are for him but he has been good defensively the last few years and has put up 20 points this season as well.

Kerfoots cap should be allocated towards an upgrade at 2LW, Bertuzzi would be fantastic.

I'd like to see him get a shot at the #2 LW spot ...his defensive game can make up for a lot of the deficiencies if Marner moves up and its Tavares-Nylander

The thing is that the Leafs have 8 healthy D right now. Who sits and who goes for whoever they get?
I love Sandin but if the Leafs are trying to make another home run on defence, it has to be to replace Sandin right? Holl is probably the only other defenseman that you can replace but it'll be very hard to find a RHD that is better and fits his role. Schenn is 100% not it.
Rielly - Brodie
Giordano - Holl
Sandin - Liljegren
Benn - Timmins
You can't just acquire a rental depth defenseman in this.
