Italics means a free agent (both RFA and UFA)
Let's face it, most Kraken players had a down year, and I expect the trio going to Toronto to be better. Marner gets to leave the media hellscape of Toronto. It may seem like a Toronto loss on paper (to Leafs fans), but changing the dynamic of the roster is long overdue.
Toronto: All three of these players have nice hit stats. Larsson improves the D, Gourde gives them an excellent veteran 3rd line center who can still put up between 35-45 points in a good year, and Eeli Tolvanen is still young and can improve on his 16 goal, 41 point season. Larsson and Gourde sign extensions for Toronto's "cup window". Timmins is sent along as he is injury prone yet fills Larsson's absence in Seattle.
Rielly - Larsson
Benoit -
Liljegren
McCabe - Webber/UFA
Domi - Matthews - Nylander
Knies - Tavares -
Tolvanen
Robertson - Gourde - McMann
Holmberg - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Reaves
Perhaps can swap Robertson to 2L and Knies to 3L to start next year. Robertson had better offensive numbers than Knies in terms of PPG, and it would give the Leafs a very heavy playing 3rd line.
Seattle: A team entering their fourth season, they trade two aging players in Larsson and Gourde and acquire a younger Mitch Marner, whose 85 points can probably be replicated with proper seasons from Beniers and McCann and the rest. Gives Beniers some star power to work with and changes the dynamic of their team as well. Before he got hurt, Timmins was having a nice start to the season as a reliable puck moving defender, and 10 points in 25 games. Still a risk as he has only managed 25 games in each of the past two seasons, and the most he has played is 31 games (2020-21).
