Pesce should be the target, not Faulk...Not sure why people want those "Hall for Larsson" jokes to come at our expense..

Nylander should not go anywhere;

Our top 3 lines would be;

Marleau - Tavares - Marner
Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen..

Why would anyone want to change that?

- PatC80


I might change it so Marleau is back on Kadri's wing, they played well together.

And put Johnsson with Marner and Tavares. I think he'd shine there.

Would be a good combination, Marleau in front of the net and digging in the corners is pretty decent though.

Fair enough;

Johnsson-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Kadri-Kapanen

no, we don't need stone. 100%. but the cost for dmen is high.

stone on an offer sheet costs only a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. we could turn around and trade him for more than that.

i think you take advantage of the buy low opportunity on stone until something better comes up to address the defense.

Riley Nash will be too expensive for 4th line duty imo. He will likely get 3C $$

The 4th line can be filled from within.

Faulk was just an example but Carolina has a lot of defense so Faulk and a defensive prospect or pick could be Tanav and a prospect there are many ways to get this done and it does not have to be Nylander but he needs the big extension so it's the most logical

Agree on all but Myers - Leafs can sign him as a UFA next year, won't be nearly as expensive as Karlsson or Doughty

seems like faulk and skinner are the guys on the way out in carolina, not pesce.

He will land somewhere for about $3 million. Expensive for a 4C - for sure, but get rid of $2.5 million Martin and doesn't seem so bad.

4C barely plays, you should target someone internal or a low cost player for that spot. Put that money towards D.

It's like when Nucks fans ask for Nylander and Marner

I'd happily take Derek Ryan to be our 4C. Speed....kills penalties....can drive the play.

I agree with this. Would also move brown back to Kadri line as shut down unless we've traded him in this scenario. Have a 4th line of grundstrom lindholm (if he's any good) kapanen.

I think they did ok with Hainsey - not great, but at $3 million serviceable 4-5 guy. I think Montreal did not so okay with Alzner and Petry, $5 million a piece for two stiffs that helped sink the team into the sewer. Point is, very easy to overpay for Meh- dmen. Stars get paid, make good deals on the supporting cast, rinse and repeat.
