Ignoring the trades, which are bad enough they speak for themselves, I’ll instead focus on your lineups.

The fact that you have Manson as 3RHD behind Faulk and even behind, “gulp”, Zaitsev, is the first signal you don’t have a clue. The fact that you don’t have Dermott listed at all and have Hainsey (who is RHD) in Dermott’s place, confirms it.

Hainsey is a LHD who can play the right side.

The trade are, as LeafsGM says, terrible.

Just because we got Tavares doesn’t mean Kadri is going anywhere. Do you want Gauthier and Lindholm sharing the 3/ 4C? We have no NHL quality centres after Kadri. He isn’t going anywhere.

Truly don't understand why Leaf fans want to give up assets for Justin Faulk.
Take a look at his stats and you will guickly see he ia not a good defenseman.
Like Tyson Barrie he is good offensively but a "black hole" defensively.
Faulk is not the player Leafs want on their blue line.

There is no need to trade away Kadri he is one of the league's best now 3rd line center.
