Barring Tavares. I would really like willy to get his shot at c. I wonder where kovy would sign????? San Jose? There are so many options. What we really need is another hainsey or 2. Dehaan is an ontario boy who is buddies with jt. I would try to sign them in a package.

orrrr just trade borgman and 1 for tanev.

Kapanen. Matthews. Marner
Kovalchuk. Nylander. Hyman
Marleau. Kadri. Brown

Rielly tanev
Gard. Hainsey
Derm. Zaitsev

Next year try to pick up a hjalmarsson as a hainsey replacement. That’s probably the best idea. We have tons of offensive potential from D. we need guys who get the puck out.

Or we could try for John Carlson. But if he goes for 7.5 to 8 would it be better to try to re up Jake for 6-6.5?

Tavares would just be unfair, although not impossible I guess

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Johnsson - Tavares - Kapanen
Marleau - Kadri - Marner
Grundstrom - Aaltonen - Brown

This is another great lineup. Wow that would be the odds favourite for the cup. Fun to watch too!

I hope everyone enjoys it because it might be close to this lineup you have.

I like it

If Tavares wants to be a Leaf all he has to do is say it and consider it done. Lou will find a way to sign him and get everything else done. My dream lineup would be:

Brown-Matthews-Nylander
Kapanen-Tavares-Johnnson
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Hyman-Alttonen/Goat-Grundstrom/Leivo

Reilly-Hainsey
Gardiner-De Haan
Dermott-Zaitsev

With Stamkos the situation in tampa was simply too good to pass on.
With Tavares: non playoff team, shaky future, horrible arena. At the very least I expect him to wait until free agency opens to see all of the offers before making his decision.

We have way more cap space than that. That is good but likely we are going to get both younger and better at the same time.

Lilly gets to continue developing and Bracco etc. The system will keep building and Hunter will be worth his weight in gold if he continues with picks like Dermott.

This build will be evolving to chasing a cup starting next season. Hell we have as good a chance as anyone thos year really.

Management has got lucky winning Matthews in the lottery but everything they were in full control of was done very well.

Shanny gets full credit from me for his approach from the beginning.

I have a feeling your ???? May end up being Tyler Bozak. I know I'm alone on this island but thinking people underrated how much the organization likes him.

I expect very little change from this season.

I'm expecting JVR back. And I think there's a real chance that Bozak or Plekanec could be re-signed for a year or two. So the roster will be very similar to now.

If we don't keep Bozak, then Aaltonen could be a #3 C. Maybe Johnsson or Grundstrom in for the departed Komarov. And we still need to add a defenceman.

Bit early for this, though. We still get to watch the 2nd season before we worry about the next season.
