Considering our assets Bjugstad is the guy, Evans & Gourde are the fall back options. Nelson would be my #1, but we simply don't have the assets to acquire him. ROR and Kadri, no shot either of those happen for a variety of reasons.

Kadri didn’t work as a #3C before and in skeptical because he’s the same as Tavares but signs for much longer at a non bargain cap hit

He would be 2C as soon as next year and this year he wouldn't be a typical 3C. He likely gets Nylander as his winger. Even if they re-sign JT, Kadri would likely be the 2C next year.

Personally I think it would be a great move and not just because of nostalgia. More talent, more grit, and more cup experience.

Kadri is the same age as Tavares … signed for 4 more years at $7 mill AAV

For all the talk about Tavares’ decline and becoming nothing more than a #4C, isn’t Kadri susceptible to the same decline?

He only has 5 goals and 10 points this season

Tavares is having a great year this year so, for me, his "decline" doesn't really play a part. But the Leafs may let him walk depending on the contract ask.

I think Kadri will age well. I think he's a bit faster than JT which is why I would peg him as the 2C next year.

Either way the team could do alot worse than JT and Kadri as their 2/3 C's for the next 2-3 years. Matthews, Marner, Nylander are still young enough along with the youth coming up.

With all of these injuries leading to auditions (Minten, Grebenkin, Steeves) and signings (Nylander, and not waiver exempt) we may finally have a roster crunch once we get guys back healthy. We may be in a position to move two for one in a deal or two.

Robertson and Kampf (+???) for Granlund with some retention.

Holmberg for Acciari?

Knies Matthews Domi
Paccioretty Tavares Marner
A. Nylander Granlund W. Nylander
Lorentz Acciari McMann
Dewar
Reaves (waived)
Jarnkrok (LTIR)
Steeves, Minten, Grebenkin (Marlies)

That's a contending forward group, no?

He did absolutely nothing for the team and then said some crappy things after he left. No thanks.

No interest in that dick.
He has negative things to say about the team so he can kick rocks
Why do so many think he trashed the city?
He said the attention wasn't for him, he just wanted less spotlight to raise his family lol

It's not some personal attack

I'd be a bit nervous about that but excited at the same time. Certainly it would accelerate things even more than the D contracts already have, so perhaps in line with the strategy in play.
