So there is a rumor circulating that Tkachuk wants out of Calgary. If that is true, could a Marner for Tkachuk deal be worked out?
Tkachuk might really like the big stage and all the attention in Toronto.
Also, if the Leafs are losing Hyman, could Foligno be signed for a 1 or 2 year contract worth around 3 - 3.5?
Adding Tkachuk, Foligno for 3.5 and Simmonds for league minimum would make the Leafs fun to watch next season. They would also have the money to sign a big, physical D-man like Oleksiak or Savard.

Good ideas but I mean they already tried the physical veteran route I think there going to go more skilled based. A player that could work tho is Evander Kane or Boone Jennor guys like that.

Tkachuk is younger than Kane and has less off ice issues. Adding Tkachuk to Matthews, Tavares and Nylander would be a solid add. He is also 3.9 million cheaper than Marner. With that money the Leafs could add someone like Blake Coleman.
Essentially it would be Marner for Tkachuk and Coleman.
Signing Foligno as a 3C for 3-3.5 would be a fairly low risk move. He is good defensively and is tough. He is also good on the PK and still provide leadership. He would contribute more than either Thornton or Kerfoot.
Simmonds would be a depth move for league minimum.

I don't want Mathew.
