Quoting: NorthernLeafsFan05
Alright so here are some of the guys I think the Leafs should go out and get:
1. Noah Hanifin
- Should be the #1 target if available
- Game changer on the blue line
2. Anthony Duclair
- Speedy scoring winger to shore up scoring depth
- More reliable scorer than Robertson at this point
3. Matthew Benning (Currently injured, should be good by the TDL)
- Defensively sound third pairing guy
- Plays with bite
- Great contract
4. Walker Duehr
- High upside bottom sixer
- Great speed and forechecking
- More offensive upside than McMann
5.Alex Texier
- Currently relegated to Columbus' 4th line
- So much offensive talent
- Could be a long term addition
- I love his game
6. Connor Dewar / Brandon Duhaime
- Both guys are fast and physical
- Good defensive metrics
- Would make the 4th line fantastic
7. Alexey Toropchenko
- Lots of upside
- Huge frame, still relatively young
8. Dillon Dube
- Could be a good buy low target
- Good center depth
9. Max Jones
- Physical, still relatively young
- Has shown flashes of some skill, good upside for a bottom 6 grinder
Honestly gimmie a deal where Dube + Tanev or Hanafin go to Toronto and Robertson, Timmins and picks go the other way
Dube and Jarnkrok can help with Domi's non defense, you get someone who can play PK and be anywhere in the lineup, and is a very strong bounceback candidate
Hanafin or Tanev are for the following. Make the Dcore better as to help the goalies try and get better. More help = more stops
Cause man if im looking rn
Robertson, Timmins and Liligren may not be here after or even before the TDL
Now for Liligren teams gonna have to have something really nice sitting there but the other two I could see gone
Other guys to look at but with an *
Fabbro, Trenin, and Sherwood
