Leafs: Kadri, Johnsson, Zaitsev, Brown
Stars: Faksa, Hintz, Lindell, 3rd

I think it all balances out, we give them all that to free up cap (trading Zaitsev) and obtaining solid pieces. Faksa plays 4th line unless injuries or until next next year when Thornton is done then moves to 3C.

Sign Thornton

Hintz-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Thornton-Kapanen
Moore-Faksa-Mikeyev

Rielly-Lindell

Reunite Thornton and Marleau so that they can both have a good shot at winning the cup and together.

No team can match our speed, center depth, and our defense looks good with a solid top 4 and young bottom pair.

An entire team of LHD is different. I don’t see why it can’t be done though. I think the team looks better overall, though I question just how effective Marleau and Thornton willl be together. Someone on here once told me they hate each other. Whether that is true or not, I don’t know. What were you going to offer Thornton anyway? 1 year @ $2M is about all I would give him. If SJ doesn't make him an offer and he wants to play here, that’s the best we can give him. Take it or leave it.
