Askarov is still unproven and has less trade value than Saros, and Toronto needs cap relief so he’s preferable to Saros.
Marner is a known star and would pair well with forsberg.
Take out Matt woods, add a first from Toronto but I would defend not being that far off.
Reaves can go to Chicago for Bedard insurance but I bundled him to NDH as they have a history of loving enforcers (McGratton, McCarron)
Dante Fabbro is a second pairing guy, NSH is a D man factory. Next man up and don’t let him hold back you getting a star.
Stamkos feels disrespected in TB as no extension talk. Less tax in TB but less endorsements also. As he transitions to retirement and whatever he wants next, a media presence will help him and make him more money after hockey plus he’s not the star and focus of the team.
NJ has absolute riches on the right side D. Absolutely they can keep Marino, or sell high and use picks to buy what else they need at the deadline. Toronto doesn’t have what they want but the teams that do might not want Marino.
The UFAs are all older and given extra term to pay them the total amount other teams will pay in 2 years. The last year will be overpay/LTIR whatever. But it changes locker room culture and adds depth of scoring and experience for no assets but cap space.
Likely cap hits are off but if they get 2/4 they are a better team. If they get 4/4 tell me that’s not a contender
