Description

I don't believe the Leafs need huge changes to their lineup to finally win a round neither do I believe an expensive right D will fix the problem.

Yes they need a better right side on the back end, so lets fix that first. They also need depth and some experience in their bottom 6 do that too.

Cap room needs to be made and the only contracts that to me make any sense to dump are Johnson and Kerfoot. I don't see any place for Dermott so use his rights to help dump either of those contracts.

I appreciate any feedback, thanks :)

Awful trade for the leafs. Dubas will want to make deadline moves. Gudas playing minutes like that makes me nauseous.

As I said in the notes, trade for the best deal on offer, and Gudas will be an upgrade on Ceci and give Reilly someone solid next to him. How about the rest?

Detroit declines, We've no use for Kerfoot and Johnsson, And Yzerman isn't moving Zetterberg either.
