If Mrazek can stay healthy and Bunting can play well with Tavares and Nylander it could work out well for the Leafs.

Kerfoot most likely plays with Tavares and Nylander. He just isn't very good as a center. Kampf plays 3C next year.

I'm not expecting a Landeskog top line LW, but someone like a Ritchie, maybe Tatar could've been added. Just someone who is a top 6 winger. I get the cap situation and hopefully there is still something in store if what Friedman is saying how they are saving 3.5mil in cap to get one down the line.

As tight as they are against the cap, they still need to add someone to play there..

I just don't see Bunting as that guy.. I hope I'm wrong

I would like to see Spezza given a chance at 3C next year.

He lead the league in even strength points/60

Going to get 8 combined goals in 82 games from our entire 3rd line next season

Rakell would be a good choice in a trade. I think Bunting plays 3rd line.

FA/Trade-Matthews-Marner
Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander
Bunting-Kampf-Simmonds
Engvall-Brooks-Spezza

That is my guess for right now.

I like Spezza, but I don't see him as shutdown guy

I would put him on the 3rd line as well, then you have 2 solid faceoff options in Spezza and Kampf, Spezza playing RW.

I would like Rakell on the Leafs. I hope they can get him. That would be a solid top line.

Rakell for Mikheyev and Dermott?

Forgot about Mikheyev in that lineup. I would probably keep Mikheyev over Engvall and add whatever middling prospect or mid round pick. Put Mikheyev on the 3rd line and Simmonds moves to the 4th.

Looking back throughout Leafs history, has there ever been a worse trade than the one for Foligno?

give it a shot but don't plan the team around it

he might be getting points because he's sheltered on the 4th line and doesn't play c

Getting Rakell would be fantastic;

Rakell-Matthews-Marner
Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander
Bunting-Kampf-Mikheyev
Robertson-Spezza-and one of Simmonds/Gabriel/Anderson/Ho-Sang

- Atomic Wedgie

When he was traded, there were worse trades.

In hindsight, looking at his contribution, no.

He did absolutely nothing on this team.

curious about Brennan Menell
24yo RHD

some good stats in he KHL

no, I can't think of any

Unfortunate circumstance. If he didn't get injured and we made it out of the Canadian division, no one would be saying anything.

not seeing anyone interesting

What happened to the one rumour of a top 6 player that didn’t play in the playoffs last year? Didnt chris Johnson say something about that a month ago.

He got injured for taking it upon himself to “honour the code.”

So franking frustrating that there are people who think that made him a great teammate.

It was stupid and selfish.

Definitely unnecessary, is that when he got injured?
