So assuming nylander signs this week here's what I'm hoping the lines may look like

Kapanen Mathews nylander
Hyman Tavares marner
Marleau kadri brown/lindholm
Leivo goat brown/lindholm

I think if the leafs sign nylander to a bridge it could be a good thing so how do we improve our blue line....

Trade bait
Brown
Johnnson
Leivo
Gardiner
Hainsey
Prospects and picks

So the forward I listed are all good players but just don't really have a place on this team brown is the best guy here he's a great pk guy and has really upped his skating this year but he's one of those players that is a weird fit and with lindholm playing well I think we can move brown

Leivo is having a better year so far but again doesn't really fit especially when and if nylander signs

Johnnson is a good player but playing on the fourth line isn't going to help him do anything with this team I think we can afford to let him go with players like gundstrom in the minors

And the other two are ufas so try and see what you can get leafs don't need to get a big name guy they just need a guy the is solid in the defensive game I think zaitzev has played great this year I mean the best he can while playing with giveaway gardiner

Tor: brown gardiner 1st

Fla: petrovic bjugstad

Tweak it how ya want but you get what I'm saying

I would add Zaitsev into that trade bait list, the leafs need to dump his contract to re-sign Kapanen.

@mostleaf33

I don’t understand why you want to trade zaitzev so bad he’s our second best defender plays on our top pk and is the only leafs defender that isn’t afraid to play physical yes his contract is too long but he’s getting paid less than 5 mil kapanen will be resigned he’ll only get 3-3.5 one season won’t change that number.

Zaitsev will need to be traded at some point but I agree not quite yet.

Dukp zaitsev for a bag of pucks he's worse for giveaways than giveaway doesn't know what to do on a 2 on 1 the guy might aswell be some random peewee.
