Description

Traded for Hanfin at the TDL with an extension in place and sign Roy in the offseason to shore up the D.

Fill out roster with ELC and low cost contracts to survive the cap crunch until Tavares re-signs at 5.5-6 mil AAV.
O'Brien brings some toughness to the bottom 6. Holmberg is beginning to show that he can actually play with the top 6 guys. Minten (or Cowen) will slot in nicely on the third with Domi (re-signed to a longer term deal).

I like the D for sure as that is a huge improvement. But for me this offence needs a huge shake up. Someone making a lot of money needs to be moved to get some “quality depth” grit and heart.

I really don't see why the Leafs should be trading away good young assets at TDL. You really think Hanifan is going to make THAT much difference to the Leafs this year?
Right at the cap with 20 man roster seems unworkable, especially with a six Dmen.
