Confirmed with Link: Leafs go 4-4-1 in expansion, Dermott, Kerfoot, McCann, exposed

We did this year.

They created a taxi squad to assist with quarantine last year. Unless they do that again next year, we’ll need to carry extra skaters at some point. Not all the time, but any road trip, we should bring a few spares.

I don't think we'll want to run a 20 man over a full season, should figure on atleast a 7th dman being carried full time.

Campbell
2m

7m split between 2LW and 3C. Whether it's 3.5/3.5 4/3 or 5/2, that's a decent pair of players in the flat cap

Going with a cheap backup is a huge gamble. Campbell has a long injury history and has never played more than 26 games in a season.

Toronto is not going to do that.

Who shares the net with Campbell in an almost 50-50 split is the minimum to expect and the only way that can come relatively cheap is if that is a proven vet.

I still believe that few Stanley Cup contenders are icing a 20 year old D Man in the playoffs.

Sandin would be 22 by the time of next year's playoffs, and many many contending teams (and champions) ice defensemen that young or younger, including in roles much bigger than Sandin would play.

We can do better than Mikheyev for 1.65M? That would require us to be very lucky.

Galchenyuk or Robertson, maybe even Joey Anderson.

Look at Mikheyev's playoff stats...
