If that was actually the ask, we'd consider it.
Somehow I think it's much worse than that.

I was just gonna come here and ask any rational and knowledgeable armchair critic what is Hannifin worth? Obviously different if you can sign him versus rental. He intrigues me.

Yeah, I'm not sure he is a realistic target. I think it will be Roy and Tanev.

I think we'd have to pay more than it sounds like Brad is comfortable with for either player.
That said, I'd be a lot more comfortable going into the postseason with either one of those guys as a partner for Rielly, with
Brodie-Liljegren
Benoit-McCabe
Giordano
as the bottom 5.
Rielly- Tanev
McCabe - Roy
Benoit - Liljegren
Seems okay. Which team gets the first rounder?

I wonder if there is a way to get Danault and Roy.
He would be a good add too. I think most FLA fans would probably tell you Forsling is their best D, but Montour is having an off year and may not be quite as expensive as people thought at the start of the year.
Fair enough, he certainly hasn’t had a season like that before… but he did have offseason surgery and then got injured at the start of the year. Without a doubt though, Gustav Forsling is the key guy on that blue line.

Hanifin + Roy with extensions would be a nice overhaul of the blue line
I'm confident in the crop of forwards the Leafs' have in the pipeline that they can allocate more money to the blue line and rely on cheap ELC's and bridge deals to round out the depth.

Not necessarily, we don't know how he feels about Toronto
Treliving will likely reach out and gauge his interest in signing here. If he's willing to we should absolutely deal for him. This is our version of the Hampus Lindholm move by Boston
it’s gonna be one of Carrier, Dumba or Walker for a 3rd+
Don’t see us spending the first unless it’s a RHD with term. None of those seem to be available.

The Trev connection could be a big factor here. If not at the deadline, in free agency.

The Leafs would be wise to revamp their fourth line for cheap at the deadline so they can actually play 4 lines in the playoffs.
I’d target 3 UFAs in Nashville: Smith, Trenin, Carrier.
My fear is all 3 together would cost a 1st but if the Leafs can acquire them for a collection of assets that isn’t their 1st or the top 3 prospects it would probably be worthwhile.
Something like Kampf+Tverberg+Villeneuve+3rd for Carrier+Smith+Trenin.
I’d also target 2 under the radar depth pieces: Leason and Emberson. Both can probably be had for spare parts in a 1 for 1 deal. Leason is a prototypical 4RW whose underlying numbers point to strong play driving. Emberson is playing nearly 20 minutes a game and he’s not getting snowed in on San Jose. His underlying numbers are decent and he’s only 23.
I’d offer a 3rd for Emberson and Holmberg or Timmins for Leason.
Going into the playoffs I’d run:
Knies-Matthews-Marner
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander
Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok
Smith-Trenin-Leason
McMann
Rielly-Carrier
Brodie-Liljegren
Benoit-McCabe
Gio-Emberson

Shot and chance suppression is probably the worst statistical idea ever created.

Our biggest obstacle in the playoffs will be florida
We don’t have enough physicality to beat them at the game they play
Our defense outside of Benoit and McCabe are too soft to handle playoff hockey
Vegas won last year because they had huge defensmen who could play that physical game
We need two big dmen stay at home clear the crease and drop them if they have to
We need at least one more tough forward who can dish out punishment to guys like tkachuk cousins Bennett Lemberg etc

We have to eat it for another year unfortunately. Best thing management could do is deploy Tavares as our 3C next season or top 6 LW. I don't really care what they do with the lines, but I want him far away from Nylander.
JT would be better served with the McMann/Jarnkrok types.
